He will play some DB, where he flashes good ball skills and the speed to roam the field. However, the bulk of his production comes from his play on offense and as a returner. He is more of a linear runner, staying on a vertical track to the endzone and making subtle adjustments to find new running lanes. When given the ball on sweeps, he flashes the speed to outrun defenders to the sideline and beat angles as he turns the corner to run. Finding where he projects might be a challenge, but he is a track athlete with good speed and has a knack for making plays with the ball in his hands. At the very least, he should add some potential as a returner. He holds an offer from North Alabama.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1141947' first='J'Vion' last='McDuffie']","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"McAdory","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"McDuffie might be overlooked due to his shorter stature, coming in at 6'2 280. However, I believe he possesses the necessary traits on tape to compensate and play at the D1 level. For starters, there looks to be plenty of room to grow. On tape, his legs look thinner, so he should develop more drive as he fills out. Regardless, he plays with good leverage, winning with pad level and collapsing defenders in the run game, gradually winning out through the dirt. In his pass set, he has the shiftiness and light-footedness to quickly adjust to counter moves and catch rushers. His quickness also allows him to pull and leak out to the second level, where he can settle down and get his hands on faster defenders. His fundamentals and quickness will give him a chance to develop at RT, but he might move inside to play G or even C. At center, his ability to shift laterally and react to twists and stunts would be intriguing. Regardless where he ends up, there is D1 upside here.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Ty Doughty","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"James Clemens ","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Doughty just picked up his first D1 offer from Air Force, and more might be on the horizon. Doughty is a featherweight 5'9 175 and is electric with the ball in his hands. He projects as a slot WR, but plenty of his production comes from kick and punt returns. He is lightning in a bottle in space, breaking down defenders with his footwork and sheer speed. He steps on the toes of defenders when he cuts and redirects, which allows him to create even more separation. His spatial awareness pops on tape, keeping his eyes up and seemingly is always aware of blind side defenders looking to make a tackle. A lot of his receiving production comes around the LOS on screens and sweeps, but enough of his stop and start ability should translate to his route running and allow him to separate downfield. I have an FBS grade on Doughty and consider him an elite playmaker. His returning ability could allow him to find the field sooner.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1182852"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1182852' first='PaLanding' last='Drammeh'] has been one of the buzziest prospects in Alabama this offseason, and for good reason. He has shined on the camp circuit over the last few months, but he also put out some really good junior film. Drammeh is 6'3 285 of sheer strength and raw power. He often lines up over the center, where he can sheer off blocks and complete eliminate running lanes between the tackles. He can be moved up and down the line, playing at seemingly every spot. On the interior, he can push blockers back into the QB, denting the pocket and flushing the football out to his teammates. There is some finesse to his game as well. He can slip off blocks and settle down in a 1 v 1 with a playmaker. From there, he uses his instincts and tackling radius to match up and make a tackle. Drammeh has firmly planted himself on the FBS radar and is surely generating P4 attention.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65f3205d1045b"} /-->
