Still filling out his frame and developing, he flashes some natural instincts in space and has a nose for the ball and for creating turnovers. Showing some recovery speed downfield while having disciplined eyes and patience, he baits quarterbacks into bad throws before breaking to the ball and can play off-man coverage if needed on bigger tight ends and receivers. Pruitt checks in inside our top 30 defensive backs in our most recent PRZ Rankings. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/carter_pruitt1/status/1598485017348673536?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/carter_pruitt1/status/1598485017348673536?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["663028"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63fa78a5ca733"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Broady is a elite athlete with return abilities and open field speed/burst that has a nose the ball and is always making plays. He is a very explosive player that breaks quickly in run support, a strong open field tackler that takes good angles and shows outstanding ball skills. Smooth in transition, he has a natural pedal, loose hips and does not take false steps in the short area while twitchy in man coverage and a high IQ kid when in zone. A sure fire impact player in college at the corner position with position versatility, he is one of the most exciting defensive backs to watch across the region and very worthy of entering our rankings. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/deven_broady/status/1587541780139954177?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/deven_broady/status/1587541780139954177?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["663018"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63fa78a5ca789"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Crane is a true field safety that can cover the entire field and displays outstanding open field tackling abilities while bringing a nice thump at the POA. He is rangy and shows good ball skills with highpoint abilities and can flip his hips quickly in transition when recovering. He displays open field speed with solid short area burst when breaking and plays a lot bigger than he may appear with a high motor and physicality. He should gather D-III interest as he progresses through his final year and can make a impact at the college level. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
