Bryton has a size advantage over the Skyridge defense, and he’s an athletic chess piece against their backers and safeties. He’ll be an easy target to move the chains and working the middle of the offense.

With the receivers working downfield and quick screens, the middle will be operated by Niu and he’ll force the Mountain Ridge backers to cover him which will leave a light box. His impact early on will set the tempo for the offense and give Lehi the flexibility to keep Mountain Ridge on its toes.

Read EvaluationAndy Pham | Prep Redzone Scout
Niu is an exceptional tight end and part of the modern day wave. An athletic big, who moves like a receiver. Niu is physical and can be inline, but when he is detached and forces a backer or safety on him, that’s when he shines. He’s too athletic and physical for safeties and too quick and shifty for backers. He’s primed to have a fantastic final season.

Read EvaluationAndy Pham | Prep Redzone Scout
During the 7s event, Niu showed good footwork and soft hands. He has little wasted movement and gets upfield in a hurry to pick up chunk yards. Niu is an athletic playmaker who can be moved around all over the field and deployed as a mismatch.

Read EvaluationAndy Pham | Prep Redzone Scout
Niu is an athletic playmaker who can be a mismatch when lined up as a big slot. He transitions upfield with little wasted motion and easily finds the weak spot in the defense. He will easily catch outside of his frame, that extension gives him a nice catch radius, and can adjust and contort his body. Niu has strong hands and does a nice job working his way back to his Quarterback in scramble drills. Niu has an excellent change of direction and movement patterns, he has a quick acceleration which allows him to slip past opposing Linebackers. Niu is a physical player who contributes in run and pass blocking and holds up well to long-developing plays. He shows his physicality in this aspect and his selflessness helps the team in all aspects.
