Expert Analysis

Prep Redzone Nebraska Lead Scout

The Griffins look primed to be a contender in Class B again with a great returning core. Safety MJ Maryott MJ Maryott 6'1" | 185 lbs | DB/ATH Gretna East | 2027 State NE will once again be a key player on defense after recording 30 tackles and two interceptions. Watching MJ’s tape, I was very impressed with his versatility on the backside of the defense. He mainly lined up as a free safety, but also showed the football IQ to slip into a nickel/slot role or even out on the perimeter against the opposing WR1. MJ is very fluid in coverage, as he can quickly flip his hips and has the agility to change direction on the fly. His range, combined with his ability to read offenses, makes him a dangerous center-field safety who is quick to break on the ball with great closing speed. MJ plays the ball very well at the catch point, showing he can force a turnover or a PBU. Good tackler who can make sure tackles in the open field and is an asset in the run game as someone who is willing to step into the box. Great prospect who should turn some heads this camp season!
