He is equally as good a man-to-man defender as a defender in a zone defense. As a man-to-man defender, he has good coverage skills. His ability to cover wide receivers and take away passing lanes is excellent. He seems like he revels in the ability to lock down wide receivers when he covers them in man-to-man. He also has good ball skills as he can get his hands on the ball when it is thrown in his direction. He is also a good tackler who tackles well in the open field. Beyah is a talented defensive back who should only improve going into next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">sophomore yr highlights <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachGoettner?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachGoettner</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/DavidBRobbins1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DavidBRobbins1</a> @PRZPAvic <a href="https://t.co/uADVcRjvqb">pic.twitter.com/uADVcRjvqb</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1475960' first='Eesa' last='Beyah'] (@Eesa1Beyah) <a href="https://twitter.com/Eesa1Beyah/status/1852788101610922382?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 2, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["913960"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6837bd4ad03ba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Malik Drayon is an outstanding athlete who made an impact as a cornerback and a returner last year for Imhotep Charter. As a cornerback, he has excellent coverage skills. He also shows good closing speed, and if he is playing off a receiver, he can fly up and make the play in the open field. He is also a good tackler who takes pride in tackling offensive players. He is also a dynamic returner who shows great speed and elusiveness to make defenders miss in the open field. Gray is an outstanding prospect in the 2027 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Blessed to say I have received my 1st offer from Howard University <a href="https://twitter.com/coachnickgould?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@coachnickgould</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/cy_woodland?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@cy_woodland</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/yusuftribble?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@yusuftribble</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/coachnah2?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@coachnah2</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/TepFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TepFootball</a> <a href="https://t.co/pA30POM4zU">pic.twitter.com/pA30POM4zU</a></p>&mdash; Malik drayton (@m1drayton) <a href="https://twitter.com/m1drayton/status/1922770156838617203?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 14, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["463107"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6837bd4ad040a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Relei Gray is a heavy hitter from his defensive back position. His ability to fly up and knock a ball free when a receiver catches the ball is excellent. Some defensive backs shy away from contact, but Gray is the opposite; he revels in it. He also has good coverage skills and ball skills. When the ball is in the air, he attacks it with gusto. Gray is a dynamic defensive back who can do it all from that position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Full Sophomore Year Film<a href="https://t.co/MmUofMS56v">https://t.co/MmUofMS56v</a><br>I'm so grateful for the opportunities I got this year as a underclass men.
