<p class="text-gray-700">I've seen Darious numerous times in the offseason and in game. He has good length and wingspan and is one of the better cover cornerbacks in the state. He shows good hips and sticks to receiver's hip pocket. He does a good job of looking back and making a play on the ball. He has good instincts and plays with good physicality. Moving him to a Safety spot would be interesting as he has good athleticism and range. As a box safety he would make an interesting prospect as he has all the tools to play the position and has the physicality and toughness for the position. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Chris is one of the better athletes in the state. He is a converted Quarterback who was moved to Running Back. As a runner, he has a natural feel for the position and he has the explosiveness to get through a closing gap and he does a good job of getting through the first level and showing good contact balance. He will run between the tackles and he has the speed to get to the edge. He does a good job of being elusive in the open field and as he continues to learn the position, he will only get better. He has good instincts and he is a player who is being overlooked. He likely ends up at the JUCO or D2 level, based on him being raw, but he has all the skills to be an immediate performer and someone who transfers up in a couple of years. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Justice is a defensive back who has put in the work this season. He has improved his athletic markers and is a defensive back with good ball skills. He has good instincts and does a good job of sticking to a receiver's hip pocket. He's a defensive back who can be a cornerback, or be used as a Safety. He likely falls into the FCS/D2 level.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Paden is a multi sport athlete and he is a signal caller who has proved himself against some of the tougher defenses in the state. He has good arm talent and has good ball placement and throws a nice deep ball. He processes quickly and he is a signal caller who I've seen multiple times, from private training sessions to in game action and he is someone who throws a good ball and is poised in the pocket. He shows good pocket navigation and he can manipulate a Safety. He's someone that has gotten the job done everywhere he's gone. </p>

Evaluations are normally subscriber-only but when an athlete subscribes, theirs becomes free for all readers.
Subscribing doesn't change who the Scout covers, it changes who gets to see it.
