About Aundre
Expert Analysis
Nathaniel Kue | Prep Redzone Scout
Aundre Nickleberry has prototypical size for the CB position, with a thick lower half and solid length. He is willing to be physical in the run game and on PBUs. He shows a smooth transition out of his backpedal and reads through to the QB to break off and make plays after seeing the QB pull the pin. He’s got some good hips, showing a smooth baseball turn when he’s out-leveraged downfield. He has some speed also back deep on both return units with 1 TD on each this season. Aundre also has an advanced understanding of his responsibilities in various zone coverages only being a Soph. What sets him apart from an average recruit, to a high level recruit is his ability to consistently play the ball while in phase – he turns into a WR downfield with multiple INTs on the season. Such a high ceiling for Aundre, this offseason I’d like to see him continuing to get comfortable with his movement pattern (COD, backpedal) and developing his athleticism. If his testing numbers match up, I expect Aundre to be on FBS radars very soon.
