Expert Analysis
Marcus Henry | Prep Redzone Scout
Gentry epitomizes the prototype of an elite ball-hawking defensive back, possessing a rare blend of physical attributes and technical prowess. His long, lean frame gives him an advantage in coverage, allowing him to match up effectively against taller receivers while maintaining agility and speed. Gentry’s aggressiveness at the line of scrimmage in press coverage disrupts routes and throws off timing, often forcing quarterbacks into mistakes. His superb footwork enables him to mirror receivers effortlessly, staying step-for-step with them throughout their routes. Gentry’s violent hands and sticky defense make it challenging for receivers to gain separation or secure catches, frequently leading to pass breakups or interceptions.
Gentry has consistently demonstrated his skills and ball hawk coverage skills on the offseason 7v7 circuits, where he has excelled against top competition. His performances at various camps and showcases have further highlighted his potential and garnered attention from college coaches nationwide. Gentry narrowed down his top five schools to Wisconsin, Oklahoma State, Missouri, SMU, and Baylor. Whichever school he ultimately selects will undoubtedly gain a dynamic playmaker capable of making an immediate impact in their secondary.
