Expert Analysis
Ryan Wesley | Prep Redzone Scout
Vegas is an underrated prospect with the potential to be a steal as a recruit for the right program. Being a 6-foot-3 corner makes him an immediate standout on and off the field. His wingspan helps him force receivers to take wider releases off the line while also making him a difficult defender to beat in jump ball situations. His technique is a little raw, but his instincts and physicality enable him to consistently be near the ball with the willingness to make a big hit. Vegas is an athlete whose powerful stride makes him difficult to break away from and hard to catch when the ball is in his hands, adding to his list of sleeper characteristics.

Vegas is a player that is under the radar but will have a chance to skyrocket his stock this season. He is a tall corner that has a lot of speed and can play trail technique really well, making his way back into the play to dislodge the ball from the receiver. He has good vision and uses that when in coverage, reading through his receiver and reacting on the underneath passes when they are throw. On film he stands out with being able to take away the top receiver, just has to string it together this season and he can be one of the top corners in the class.

Read EvaluationRyan Wesley | Prep Redzone Scout
Vegas is a player with the height and frame that makes him an immediate standout on the field. His long wingspan and physicality help him in press-man situations, but he looks to have more success as an off-corner playing over top. He is the type of defensive back that will probably start getting looks as a potential safety at the college level. His stride allows him to cover ground quickly and his height gives him the advantage over most receivers in jump-ball situations. Vegas is another low-flyer on the radar, but expect that to change this fall.
