Expert Analysis

Marcus Benjamin

Prep Redzone Scout

The transfer from McCallie in Tennessee is already making a significant impact with his new team in West Boca. Arriving in South Florida earlier in this calendar year, Valade joins an elite defensive back group.

Valade is a strong tackler and has the speed to roam the defensive backfield to make impact plays. He is a Power Four-level talent at both safety and cornerback and could also excel as a nickel corner on the next level.

Florida is a team trending up for Valade and is seemingly the unofficial leader for his college destination.

The Tennessee native, by way of Canada, will fit right in with his blazing speed and versatility in South Florida. As a defensive back, he has great balance, breaks on the football consistently to cause pass-breakups, and snags interceptions.

Valade also shows the ability to be a high-level run-stopper. He is not afraid to step up and make tackles and can be used as a versatile chess piece for a defense.

Loia Valade Loia Valade 5'11" | 185 lbs | DB West Boca Raton | 2027 FL is an electric player in the secondary that overcomes his slightly undersized frame with excellent explosiveness, athleticism, ball skills and physicality.

While limited in height, he has verified measurables that offer good length for the position and has the explosiveness to make that length very effective at disrupting plays.

He has great break on the ball when it is in the air which can lead to big plays both in coverage or as a tackler.

Valade is a well-rounded cornerback with alignment versatility that has a high floor with his well-rounded skillset and measurements that scream even more upside.
