About Isaiah
Expert Analysis
Ed OBrien | Prep Redzone Scout
Artiles is a versatile defensive player who plays both linebacker and defensive back for his team. In his highlights, he lines up at strong safety, outside linebacker, and over the slot, showing that he can play in space. Artiles makes plays on defence, and part of that is the way he attacks the football. The interceptions he gets in zone coverage show that he’s disciplined and knows his role. His highlights show him undercutting routes, competing at the catch point, and finishing plays. There’s a pick-six and a field goal-block that reinforces the fact that he can make game-changing plays.
Artiles holds his own in coverage. He runs with receivers across the field, stays connected to them, and breaks on the ball when the time is right. Against flats and short routes in his highlights. Artiles reacts quickly and limits yards after the catch. He’s physical against the run. I like the way he fills alleys, avoids blocks, and stays involved in cleanup tackles. I’d like to see him square up more often and finish with better form when tackling, and see how he looks in more 1v1 situations. Artilies is solid in coverage and run support. I think he’ll ultimiately ends up at safety if he gets an opportunity to play at the next level.
