Breaking Down the Tape the Prospects Demanding Attention

Today we will be taking a look at 4 prospects who's film I was able to breakdown and give you some key takeaways. These are some of the names you will need to know as we move further into the offseason and names that could be on the rise.    Lanre-Ahmed is a running back prospect whose film immediately grabs your attention because of his combination of vision, burst and playmaking ability. He is an elusive runner who consistently makes the first defender miss, allowing him to turn modest gains into explosive plays. One of the most impressive parts of his game is how quickly he transitions from making a cut to getting downhill. Once he finds a running lane, he accelerates through it and reaches the second and third levels of the defense in a hurry. Linebackers and defensive backs are often put out of position because of his speed in open space and ability to change direction without losing momentum. Lanre-Ahmed also displays strong vision, routinely finding cutback lanes and taking advantage of overaggressive defenders. He runs with determination and it often takes multiple defenders to bring him down. With his team entering a new league this season, he will have an opportunity to showcase his skill set against new competition. The talent is evident on film and continued development could make him one of the rising offensive prospects to know in his class.     Baca put together a solid season but his film from the Mile High Prep provides an even better look at the tools that make him a prospect worth monitoring. Baca has the traits of a physical cornerback who thrives in competitive situations. He does an excellent job in press coverage, using strong hands and technique to press receivers at the line of scrimmage and throw off the timing of routes. Throughout his film, he consistently stays connected to receivers and demonstrates the ability to transition his eyes to his keys. His awareness and understanding of leverage allow him to play with confidence in coverage. What separates Baca from many defensive backs is his willingness to contribute in run support. He attacks downhill aggressively, takes proper angles and shows the ability to consistently make open field tackles. His physical style of play and competitive nature are evident on every snap. As he continues building on the momentum he gained this offseason, Baca has a chance to establish himself as one of the more intriguing defensive backs in his class and a player who could begin attracting much more attention.     Fisher is a versatile two-way athlete whose ceiling may be higher on the defensive side of the football. His film showcases a player with the athleticism, effort and instincts to develop into a disruptive edge defender. Fisher does an excellent job setting the edge against the run, forcing ball carriers to change direction and allowing teammates to rally to the football. He plays with discipline and consistently stays engaged throughout the play. One of the biggest strengths in his game is his pursuit. Fisher shows the ability to track down plays from the backside and close ground quickly, preventing runners from turning small gains into explosive plays. His footwork is solid and he demonstrates good balance while working through traffic and finishing tackles in space. Showing the ability to drop into coverage while maintaining his effectiveness as a pass rusher would make him an even more valuable defender. With a productive offseason and continued growth, Fisher has the potential to become a player that college coaches and evaluators begin paying closer attention to over the next year.     Spencer is a young defensive prospect whose instincts and football IQ stand out. After making a strong impact at the freshman level, he enters the offseason as a player capable of taking a significant step forward. Spencer displays advanced vision and anticipation, allowing him to diagnose plays quickly and put himself in position to make an impact before blockers can react. He consistently sheds blocks and finds his way into the backfield, being disruptive against both the run and pass. One of the most impressive aspects of his game is how quickly he gets his eyes on the quarterback while working near the line of scrimmage. That awareness allows him to affect throwing lanes and make life difficult for opposing offenses. When dropping into coverage, he shows good timing and instincts, frequently getting his hands on passes and disrupting plays. Spencer combines intelligence with physicality, making him a defender who is always around the football. If he is able to earn varsity opportunities this season, he has the tools to become a major contributor and a player on the rise.
