Expert Analysis
Ben Mitchum | Prep Redzone Scout
Two-way player that can excel on either side of the ball as a B-Back in a flexbone system or as a ever developing defensive end.
Defensively he shows the ability to not only play with a high motor but able to set the edge and disengage from blocks fairly easily, which makes him difficult to hook on the edge. Even has the ability to drop in coverage due to his athletic ability.
On the offensive side of the ball he shows good understanding and awareness at his B-Back (fullback) position. He recognizes his keys well and is able to sink or slide with ease. May not have elite top end speed but still shows adequate enough acceleration and speed to get the job done. Physical runner and protects the football quite nicely high and tight. Also a dependable pass catcher out of the backfield.
