Back to the South Jersey parochial circuit we go to take a look at St. Augustine’s Christian Dunoff Christian Dunoff 6'0" | 170 lbs | DB/WR St. Augustine | 2027 State NJ . Dunoff is a prospect I like just a bit more at defensive back than receiver. Film shows us that Dunoff runs stride-for-stride with his matchups and, as his receiver skills translate to defensive back, can adjust to the ball in flight – often plucking it out of the air from the intended receiver. I thought that on the quick game, Dunoff breaks on the ball quickly and does a good job of wrapping and driving through the body of the target. Unlike most cornerbacks, Dunoff does not shy away in run support. When power is ran his way and sprung to the perimeter, we see him get low and wrap for a textbook tackle. What is most impressive in this situation, however, is the fact that Dunoff maintains his force leverage and allows his help to rally. Lastly, in moments where he finds himself in sub-optimal position, very astutely, Dunoff will match the receivers hands to give himself a shot and making the play without drawing a penalty.
