He plays with a mean streak and isn’t shy about contact, embracing the physical side of the game. At times, his size can even work against him—defenders tend to drape all over him, and when he initiates contact, it can look like he’s overpowering opponents.

Read EvaluationJoshua Graham | Prep Redzone Scout
Ari Rendell was, by far, the most physically imposing prospect at the tournament. Standing close to 6’6 and well over 240 pounds, he immediately passes the eye test—but what separates him is how well he moves at that size. Rendell can really run, creating matchup nightmares for defenders, and consistently showed the ability to make contested catches in traffic. He even took reps at safety, flashing his range and overall athleticism. With his size, movement skills, and versatility, Rendell is a legitimate D1 prospect with a very high ceiling.
