About Desean
Expert Analysis
Tyler Graham | Prep Redzone Scout
Desean is another edge rusher who has good size and solid athletic traits. He’s aggressive, brings physicality and has a great motor to pursue across the field. Mona Shores tends to be pretty solid in the trenches, and Desean is looking to be another example of that.
I really like that his highlights show a quick step off the line, and whether he’s going outside or inside, he tends to use his leverage to get good position on the blocker. Another thing I like to see his an above average football IQ. He doesn’t get too far upfield, and when he’s left unblocked he crashes straight down the line and stays home. Clearly well coached, I will be expecting some more great leaps out of Taylor!

Desean is what I’d call a boom or bust prospect. He doesn’t have much tape, but the tape he does have, in addition to his size, makes me optimistic. Last season, Desean served as a solid JV defensive lineman. He played with good effort, made some tackles, and flashed good physicality. This season, I fully expect him to take a massive step forward. For one, 6’3″ 205 is great size for a defensive lineman. Secondly, I trust Mona Shores to give Desean every opportunity to develop. If Desean breaks the starting Varsity roster, then I’d be confident that he’ll break out this season.
