2023 Film Review: AJ has excellent field vision, and can get downhill on ball carriers quickly. He has strong hands when tackling, and can get from deep thirds to the boundary quickly. He is versatile enough to play free or strong safety, and is an asset in run support. He has quick feet and hips, and plays through the whistle. AJ can defend passes in traffic, and also can separate the ball from the player. He has value on offense and special teams as well; but with his build and skills, His name should be discussed as one of the best in New England.

His measurables align with FCS Schools

AJ Azuakolam AJ Azuakolam 6'2" | 175 lbs | DB Buckingham Browne & Nichols | 2025 State New E He is ranked as the #1 class of 2025 “Defensive Back” in Massachusetts and also the # 3 ranked “Defensive Back” in the New England. He attends The Buckingham Browne and Nichols in Massachusetts.

He has high level ball hawking abilities. He can deliver bone crushing hits. Has a very athletic lean muscular frame with length in his legs and arms. At safety, I look for someone that can work downhill fast, and that plays tough in run support. The safety is often a captain on the field because of what he can see, and the checks he can make from his vantage point on the field. “Azuakolam is a perfect example of a rising talented Defensive Back/Safety in my view. He checks all the boxes such as instincts and thought process, competitiveness, tackling and run support, ball skills, coverage, and leadership.

He has a very high ceiling ahead and should see college attention spike before and during the 2023 season.
