Expert Analysis
Caleb Holfoth | Prep Redzone Scout
I saw Franklin in person at a 7v7 tournament and saw Monroe play twice this season – It is at times hard to stand out as a Monroe skill position player with all the talent that team contains at DB and WR, but Franklin physically looks the part – he can play as a deep safety or rotate into the box as an extra LB – he will need to add weight to play in the box in college, but he avoids blocks and finishes tackles well. He does bite at ankles at times when attacking guys in the backfield, but he shows both live and on tape he can get guys down consistently. I like the coverage you see on tape. The two times I saw him, he wasn’t targeted much as one game was a Monroe blowout out and the other was primarily a run-first team, but the ball tracking and ball skills are there on tape.
The tape is good, but Franklin is a player where the live evaluation gives you more confidence in his frame and movement skills – I would highly suggest coaches emphasize giving a look to Franklin when they visit James Monroe in the spring. I will follow up with every coach that is recruiting in the northeast should probably visit James Monroe because of the depth of talent they have.
