Expert Analysis
Brendan Mankarious | Prep Redzone Scout
Central Regional has a good one in receiver CJ Yates CJ Yates 6'1" | 175 lbs | WR Central Regional | 2027 State NJ . The first thing I noticed about Yates on tape was that he will slow play things, setting up angles and creases, before he turns up to top speed and makes cuts. He is apt at doing this because it appears he has looser hips than your average player, allowing him to bob-and-weave effectively. Also able to win up-top, Yates manages to come down with the ball both in traffic and in double coverage – several times – on tape. Defending him 1on1 can be a difficult task, as he shows a second gear on deeper routes. Yes, he is probably a receiver at the next level; but I feel that Yates is one of those players who is simply at his best when the ball is in his hands. He is relatively raw and with a high ceiling.
