He has very good length in his arms. He has the ability to disrupt/make plays with his length. He is put together well enough to be physical and durable.

rnI have witnessed him in an evaluation setting along with performing in live game action and his skills have been consistent each time.  He is a very good prospect with good athletic coordination. His defensive back skills are instinctive as he has a great feel for the game. He is put together well enough to be physical and durable.

Antonio Bearden Antonio Bearden 6'2" | 175 lbs | ATH Suffield Academy | 2027 State New E is a name known on the 7v7 circuit where I first saw him perform.  He is now a rising sophomore with a promising future.  Standing 6’0″ and lean, he is a solid defender.  He was efficient in not letting receivers get separation the entire game. He can tackle in space and effectively tackle on the edge. Played corner the majority of the game.  Evertime I see him in compete, I get a sense he has the desire to continue putting in the technical work needed in his skill set.  This will surely attract college coaches.

Whats been said: April 2023 – (7v7 Program Breakthrough EFB)  It was hard not to find “Bearden” as he was all over the field making plays when he was competing.  A fierce competitor who is young with good size in his frame.  He is an experienced route runner who executes crisp cuts in his breaks.  He has high level body control and balance seen in his skill set.  He has very good speed and he is agile. He will high top the ball when targeted.  Turns up field quickly for the YAC.  Hands are of high caliber and reliable.

June 2023 – Was solid the entire M2 QB Academy Showdown.  Has good length in his arms. Bearden was just being “Bearden” all weekend.  I have seen him ball in the 7v7 environment and his skill set easily atracks.   He has a nice lean 6’0″ frame with very good athletic coordination and a dog mentality. He has the knowledge of defensive back techniques and applies them in his skill set. His skill set is advanced for a 2026 recruit.  He is a leader on the field and often can be heard instructing other defensive players on how to cover and where to go.  This is a special trait for such a young player that will only continue to improve his game and alert coaches to his abilities to be a leader on the field.   He has a great personality and when you speak with him, his confidence just stands out. His performance earned him “Top Performer” award from the staff.  Special player with a high ceiling.  Track start also!!!!! Projected D1 recruit after all said and done.
