6’1, 155, 3.0 GPA. Track national qualifier and 8x medalist, speed is legit. That alone will get attention from college staffs. Lean frame fits DB more than WR right now. If he bulks too much, there’s a concern about losing that elite speed. Tape is limited (two minutes mid-season), but enough to show flashes. High-end FCS grade with near-FBS traits based on athleticism. Needs continued development in the weight room. Would like to know more about his offseason work habits. Ceiling is tied to how he develops physically. One of the better athletes in this range.

Some prospects are just football players; that’s exactly who Carmelo Barnett Carmelo Barnett 6'1" | 155 lbs | ATH/WR Riverside | 2027 State PA is. He is a dynamic athlete who is excellent with the football in his hands, but he also does a lot of other things well. An example is that he blocked or partly blocked multiple punts. Back to his offensive playmaking ability, Barnett is special with the ball in his hands. His ability to go and make defenders miss is special. He is especially good in the open field, where he is able to make defenders easily miss. He also catches the ball well out of the backfield. He also plays as a cornerback, where he has good coverage skills and is a good tackler. Barnett is an underrated player to me who should eventually have a good chance to get recruited to play college football.
