RI | ‘26 | ATH | 6’0 • 160 | Track: Hurdles, HJ, LJScout Analysis: Bearden was just being “Bearden” all weekend. I have seen him ball in the 7v7 environment and his skill set easily atracks. He has a nice lean 6’0″ frame with very good athletic coordination and a dog mentality. rnHe has the knowledge of defensive back techniques and applies them in his skill set. His skill set is advanced for a 2026 recruit. He is a leader on the field and often can be heard instructing other defensive players on how to cover and where to go. This is a special trait for such a young player that will only continue to improve his game and alert coaches to his abilities to be a leader on the field. He has a great personality and when you speak with him, his confidence just stands out. His performance earned him “Top Performer” award from the staff. Special player with a high ceiling. Track start also!!!!! Projected D1 recruit after all said and done.
