Expert Analysis
Oliver West | Prep Redzone Scout
One of the most exciting and dynamic players in Minnesota undoubtedly goes to St. Paul Harding/Humboldt’s Aijhon Douglas. The 5’9, 150 lb. Energizer Bunny of a WR/DB/returner has put out some electric highlights as a sophomore and junior, and even with his junior film only consisting of half a season’s worth of highlights, there’s more than enough to be dazzled by and have Douglas qualify as “impressive in the open field.”
Super explosive and operating on another plane of athleticism, the 651 product makes big plays look very easy. For example, Douglas has a rep a couple minutes into his tape where he basically improvises a 100-yard TD run where he takes the snap as a punter, sees space and creeps forward, and then spots a gap and takes off like a bat out of hell, cutting at top speed to make two Two Rivers’ defenders miss and burning past a couple more for a TD that few prep prospects could even dream of pulling off. The cojones it takes to make that decision, much less finish it, should give you a sense of just how athletic Douglas is and how explosive he is compared to his competition. His game-breaking speed that makes pursuing opponents look like they’re sprinting in slow motion, and he has reps of him easily out-running NSIC commits, and that speed creates so much space in the open field that it sometimes looks like he’s a 9man ball carrier. He displays a ton of balance, noticeable burst and get-up, body control, twitch, pound-for-pound power, and the ability to cut on a dime. Defensively, where I think he may project best to at the next level, he demonstrates a smooth backpedal and doesn’t waste steps when he’s weaving, mirroring, or adjusting to a route, and he flies out of his breaks his pace. Douglas‘ body control is very apparent when he’s changing direction and covering WRs on the perimeter, and he’s also a big hitter on the perimeter who cranks WRs at the catch point and punches well above his weight class. He’s rocked more than a few balls loose in his career and forces PBUs against big and smaller receivers alike. I could watch this dude play football all day, every day.
