PRZNY Exposure Series: DB Notes I

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We had over 5 DB's in attendance competing this past weekend in horrible conditions. These DB's put on a show for myself, Nick, Jon, and Coaches. In this article, we will take a look at some notes I accumulated of a few WR's who were in attendance during the showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="font-size: revert;white-space: normal;font-family: var(--wp--preset--font-family--system-fonts)">Want to stay updated with the latest news and articles from Prep Redzone NY?

He projects as a slot receiver, and after seeing him dominate another camp, I knew we needed to get him to Warwick. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dunagan was a physical prospect who you could tell was ok with a bit of contact. He showcased a solid IQ, and moved well upfield off the LOS. I liked his ability to gain separation at the top of his routes, which saw him open on some 1v1 routes. He has solid speed, and I like watching him work. Dunagan is likely a slot WR at the next level, and the WR showcased some solid skills in Warwick.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2151385"],"_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-6a37f009e6517"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2151385' first='Shaye' last='Sykes'] was another DB who made his appearance in Warwick. The Chaminade prospect, is a name I have been tracking in the 2028 class, and to have him come out and hit the field in Warwick was a real treat for the scouts and coaches. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sykes you can tell wanted it more. Each rep he ran 120%, and attacked the ground with each step. In 1v1 reps, all he did was make plays in 1v1 reps, and he was excellent as a ball tracker, and was sticky in coverage. He had excellent awareness, and was able to stay with receivers, and get his head around at the POA. Sykes was agile and quick across the field, and had himself an excellent showing in Warwick. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1367178"],"_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-6a37f009e65a6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Last up in part one is a player who has consistently improved, which has led to his first offer, and more outreach at the college level. [player_tooltip player_id='1367178' first='Darren' last='Garrett'] made the trip to Warwick, to compete, and once again made his presence known at the DB position. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Garrett is like that. He is an extremely sticky prospect, who is excellent in man coverage. He can hold, but has worked on turning his head around, and improved tremendously. He has excellent footwork and an outstanding IQ, which sees him jump routes. Even if he is beat off the line, he is excellent at recovering on plays that can seem lost, and has elite hands, which allow him to make plays on the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--
