With his long frame, Damion possesses great speed and twitchiness on the field, making him a dynamic playmaker on both sides of the ball. As a wide receiver, he runs smooth routes and has a knack for making impressive catches. Defensively, he uses his length to his advantage and can mirror receivers 1 on 1 all the way downfield. Furthermore, his vertical ability adds another dimension to his game, making him a threat in jump ball situations.

This guy is an old school safety type that does not let his size define him. His speed and explosiveness allow him to be a dynamic force on the field, and he excels in run defense with his willingness and strength as a tackler. Damyrion's smooth hips give him the agility to cover the middle of the field effectively. While only holding one offer from Co-Lin, this is the type of player that should easily garner the attention of more in-state JuCos as time goes on.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64b713dd43b54"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["910009"],"_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":"An athlete who excels on both sides of the ball as a wide receiver and defensive back, [player_tooltip player_id='910009' first='Dayshawn' last='McGee'] stands at 6'2u0022 185.
