5’8, 160 pounds. Ranked as a top-five defensive back, yet his tape suggests he should likely be ranked as a pure two-way athlete. Unoffered currently.

Four interceptions to his name, a fantastic number for a freshman regardless of level of competition. Recently saw him work at a few 7v7s this past couple of months. Watching him work in person before cutting on the tape further validates his live evaluation. First rep on tape has Darnell working at boundary corner in a butt-to-sideline tech. Eyes in the backfield, coupled with a poorly thrown ball, set up Darnell for an easy interception downfield. Great under-cutter, relies on a trail technique. Has great body control and hand-eye coordination, Darnell clearly has wideout-capable hands. I would implore Darnell to not rely so heavily on his athleticism. Further developing technique and awareness is the only way he’ll maintain this high of a ranking moving forward. That being said, I’m through the roof about the young man’s potential. Great start to his career over at Southmoreland.
