proved to be one of the most athletic and versatile defensive backs at camp, showcasing a rare blend of speed, fluidity, and instinctive coverage ability. His testing numbers backed up what showed on film throughout the event, as he finished 7th in the 40-yard dash (5.04) while also placing in the top 10 in both the broad jump (8’0”) and L-Drill (7.44). That combination of burst, body control, and lateral quickness made him one of the most naturally athletic DBs in attendance and allowed him to consistently stay in phase with receivers.
Dake’s athletic profile translates directly to the field, where he showed the ability to handle both underneath routes and vertical concepts with confidence. His speed and agility help him mirror wide receivers in space, while his leaping ability and timing allow him to shrink throwing lanes and contest passes at the catch point. Beyond the measurables, he also displayed strong football awareness, showing the instincts to anticipate routes from both receivers and running backs before the ball arrived. His positioning through the hips and trunk stood out as another strength, helping him transition quickly and engage receivers at the perfect moment to disrupt passes. With his movement skills, anticipation, and competitive coverage traits, Dake looks like a defensive back with major upside as he begins his high school career.
