Expert Analysis

Jordan Reyes

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Salopek is a strong cover corner with great all-around game speed and change of direction. Good size/length for the position at 6’0” 165 lbs. His speed allows him to play press coverage and stay in phase at all three levels. Plays with good balance and leverage throughout the play from his back pedal to his transition. Smooth in the hips, he does a good job maintaining his cushion but understands when he needs to flip his hips to turn and run. Like his recovery speed and ability to close space with the ball in the air. Flashes good reactionary quickness and ball skills. He shows good route recognition and anticipation to jump routes at the short and intermediate level. He’s aggressive at the catch point and times out his break to effectively play the ball in the air without drawing a flag. He’s a competitor that should see his recruiting stock on the rise this off season.

Devin Record

Prep Redzone Scout

Sage has SPEED. There’s no othert way to put it. Salopek can and will outrun almost anyone he lines up against. He currently runs a 4.39 40 yard dash and is only a junior. He has time to grow and get better, which is inevitable with all the work he puts in. During his week 4 performance, he had 4 tackles on the night to go along with 2 interceptions, one going back for a touchdown.
