About Channing
Expert Analysis
Alex Pallone | Prep Redzone Scout
Channing had a breakout sophomore season, but I think his Junior season is going to blow it out of the water.
This past season, Channing was an excellent speed in space option for DeWitt’s elite offense. The Panthers had an elite group of weapons and some of the best blocking in the state. There are so many examples of plays like 0:18, where Channing earns a carry outside the tackles, and simply follows his blocks, turns upfield, and outruns the defense. Channing consistently stands out with his top-tier speed, as well as his sneaky-good vision. He seems to know exactly when to cut inside, follow behind his blockers, or bounce it outside. It’s subtle, but Channing’s vision is what turns a lot of his touches into explosive plays, not his speed.
Of course, Channing’s speed is really, really good. Straight-line, very few defenders are catching him. In tight space, Channing does a great job of starting and stopping, keeping a low center of gravity, and being a pest to tackle. I’d frankly be shocked if Channing didn’t have an amazing Junior season.
