PRZMI Stock Up: Defensive Back Testing & Impressions

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This may be the best DB group we've ever had at a Michigan showcase! There are several future college prospects here, some being Elite D2 or possible D1 prospects.

It was pure luck that I was watching when Keegan made an incredible one-handed interception on a deep ball. Plus, it wasn't a fluke- his tape and testing back me up. He was incredibly impressive in the shuttle, broad, and 3-cone, while still having an above-average 40. VERY athletic with some excellent hands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I watched three total 1-on-1 reps from Keegan, including one where he locked up the Wide Receiver MVP. I really liked his footwork and ball skills. Now, I'm not super educated on DB technique, and the DB coach did tell me Keegan has things to work on. Regardless, I'd recommend that any GLIAC or MIAA coach take a close look at Keegan. Can't wait to see what Keegan accomplishes this offseason! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1148702' first='Ron'Dre' last='Austion'] | Oak Park</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another solid showing for Ron'Dre! In terms of testing, I'll be honest: I expected better. But with actual coverage, he was amongst the best at the camp. Good footwork, great explosiveness, and great change of direction. He tends to bite on double moves and generally struggles against receivers with excellent route running, but I have little doubt he'll improve in college. Still a GLIAC prospect in my eyes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1290688' first='Samarae' last='Stephens'] | Detroit MLK</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Something about those Detroit MLK athletes: Samarae is very athletic and highly polished compared to others in his class. He's a very patient DB with the explosiveness and ball skills to cover deep routes effectively. I think he'll continue to perform excellent during the offseason. In-season, I'd love for Samarae to defend the run a little better, </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1580896' first='Jamier' last='Sullivan'] | Romulus</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I honestly didn't catch a single rep from Jamier- so many prospects with very little time. But I needed to give him a shout because of his testing numbers. Especially since he's a 2025 prospect, we could have a hidden gem here! <br>His tape is good enough to catch the attention of some colleges. There are not a ton of man-to-man reps on there- but a ton of GREAT run stops, tackles, and other hard hits. Athletic ability does show up during a few moments. Hope Jamier is able to find a home! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1148707' first='Derrick' last='Williams'] | Detroit Country Day</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>So excited to see Derrick's college value. I'm pretty dang confident he's a GLIAC guy. Derrick has the athleticism and has a good enough skill set to match. I've seen him play several positions, but I think it's a solid idea to take a lot of DB reps- EVERY college I've ever talked to needs DBs. I think Derrick would fit great at a contender like GVSU or Ferris, but could also earn earlier playing time with teams like Davenport or Michigan Tech- both of which are on the up-and-up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
