Highlights
Polk really flashed during his Sophomore campaign and had 3 INT’s, 4 TFL’s, and 40 tackles from his corner position. He is very technically sound, patient in coverage and triggers quickly in space when breaking on the ball or coming up in run support. He shows disciplined eyes, and tracks the ball well with natural instincts and ball skills at the POA. Polk can play physical in press man coverage while also staying patient and recovering downfield well off the ball as well. He is in line for a huge Junior season and should start to draw college interest.
Highlights
Beal is a impressive corner with good size, man coverage abilities and twitch in transition with fluid hips and good ball skills. He is still growing and is a sure tackler in space, triggering on the ball and showing quick violent hands in press coverage while using the sideline to his advantage. Beal is a versatile player with closing speed, not afraid to come up in run support and plays big in space. He has already picked up offers from UNLV and Nevada, and it should not be long until others roll in.
Highlights
Francis could find his home at safety at the next level, and has a big frame that passes the initial eye test for his age and is a downhill player in space. Francis shows good hips in transition, off hand jam in press and breaks quickly to the ball with recovery speed and length when trailing. Due to his size, movement abilities and run support instincts, he could grow into a next level safety in college and should draw college interest through his final two seasons of his prep career.
