Prep Redzone New England Camp: Defensive Back Notebook, Part II

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As customary with my event coverage, I feverishly write as many notes as I can, as quickly as I can, in order to report on as many prospects as I can. In this feature from Prep Redzone New England's Stock Up Showcase, I share my positional notes for the group aforementioned in this article's title. More coverage on different groups will be forthcoming in the days to follow, so be sure to check back later!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Defensive Back Notebook</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I was impressed with a few traits that rising junior [player_tooltip player_id='1116825' first='Aiden' last='McCullough'] demonstrated this evening. Relative to his fellow campers, McCullough had outstanding balance in his breaks. This allowed him to break on the ball in any direction and limit being vulnerability to fakes. Moreover, I was most impressed with his pad level, specifically how he maintained it, throughout his reps. This is a clear indication of how well he can bend... For as great as his pad level was, [player_tooltip player_id='1679469' first='Gerald' last='Patrick']'s might have been slightly better. I have my regrets about him though; as I wish I got a second, closer look at Patrick throughout the event. Ranking as a top scorer in all four combine drills, he ran a 4.45 forty, 4.42 shuttle, 7.23 L-Drill, and broad jumped 9'1". </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another 2028 prospect who moved well was [player_tooltip player_id='2100267' first='Ethan' last='Aviles']. Aviles individual strength was his ability to stop-and-go without losing much speed. Although his ability to quickly break on the ball will improve once he cleans up his footwork, Aviles will also benefit from attacking the ball with his hands , extending and demanding his right to the ball when making a play on it... One of the most disciplined set of eyes I saw were affixed to the face of [player_tooltip player_id='2100247' first='Alex' last='Brousseau']. During live competition, Brousseau's eyes were locked in on his opponent's hips. Despite their best fakes, Brosseau was never shook, defending tightly like glue, and won that rep. During indy I thought he dropped a ball that, although I thought came in hot, he should have had a handle on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2123780' first='Bakary' last='Jallow'] was a prospect that I had mixed feelings about. During indy I thought he struggled, particularly with his footwork and how. he played the ball. Frankly, I thought he looked a bit uncoordinated; however, Jallow had a second act in him. All to his credit, it seemed as though Jallow took the coaching he received during the event and improved each time I saw him, especially during the competitive portion of the camp. If I am grading Jallow as a prospect, I would categorize him as "raw," which is something that I typically like.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Prep Redzone New England Stock Up Showcase Event Coverage</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/02/burning-questions-prep-rezone-new-england-stock-up-showcase-qbs">Burning Questions: Quarterbacks</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/02/burning-questions-prep-rezone-new-england-stock-up-showcase-dl">Burning Questions: Defensive Linemen</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/02/burning-questions-prep-rezone-new-england-stock-up-showcase-rbs">Burning Questions: Running Backs</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/02/burning-questions-prep-rezone-new-england-stock-up-showcase-wr-te">Burning Questions: Wide Receivers/Tight Ends</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/02/burning-questions-prep-rezone-new-england-stock-up-showcase-lbs">Burning Questions: Linebackers</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/02/burning-questions-prep-rezone-new-england-stock-up-showcase-ol">Burning Questions: Offensive Linemen</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/02/burning-questions-prep-rezone-new-england-stock-up-showcase-dbs">Burning Questions: Defensive Backs</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/02/prep-redzone-new-england-stock-up-showcase-offensive-eye-test">Offensive Eye Test</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/02/prep-redzone-new-england-stock-up-showcase-defensive-eye-test">Defensive Eye Test</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/02/prep-redzone-new-england-camp-top-defensive-combine-scores">Top Combine Scores: Defense</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/02/prep-redzone-new-england-camp-top-offensive-combine-scores">Top Combine Scores: Offense</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/02/prep-redzone-new-england-camp-defensive-back-notebook-part-i">Scout's Notebook: Defensive Back, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/02/prep-redzone-new-england-camp-defensive-back-notebook-part-ii">Scout's Notebook: Defensive Back, Part II</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/02/prep-redzone-new-england-camp-defensive-line-notebook-part-i">Scout's Notebook: Defensive Line, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/02/prep-redzone-new-england-camp-linebacker-notebook-part-i">Scout's Notebook: Linebacker, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/02/prep-redzone-new-england-camp-offensive-line-notebook-part-i">Scout's Notebook: Offensive Line, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/02/prep-redzone-new-england-camp-quarterback-notebook-part-i">Scout's Notebook: Quarterback, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/02/prep-redzone-new-england-camp-running-back-notebook-part-i">Scout's Notebook: Running Back, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/02/prep-redzone-new-england-camp-tight-end-notebook-part-i">Scout's Notebook: Tight End, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/02/prep-redzone-new-england-camp-wide-receiver-notebook-part-i">Scout's Notebook: Wide Receiver, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/02/prep-redzone-new-england-camp-quarterback-notebook-part-ii">Scout's Notebook: Wide Receiver, Part II</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
