Expert Analysis
Christian McAlvain | Prep Redzone Scout
Deatherage showed how much of an impact player he could be this season, where he was able to show off that not only is he an excellent blocker but a true threat in the passing game. He has the vertical speed to be a matchup nightmare against linebackers and is strong enough to make him hard to cover by safeties. He is a complete tight end that showed why he should have a spot on a college roster next season.

Deatherage had a really good season for Kuna playing primarily at Tight End. He is a unique player who could really flex out or play in the slot with his big strong frame and ability to find the soft spots in zone coverages.

Deatherage had a really good season for Kuna in the Tight End position where he showed off his unique abilities. Deatherage has the ability to be dominant both phases of the game where he is able to put his hand in the ground and flex out on the edge. Deatherage has good footwork while running blocking and maintain his base throughout contact. He has a strong punch at the point of contact that consistently gets knock back and then is able to finish at the end of his block. He really maintains his balance and never seems to get shed by defensive lineman. Where he really shines is out on the edge where he is an advanced route runner that allows him to separate from safeties and linebackers. His a natural pass catcher that has strong hands and doesnt let the ball get into his chest. He understands zone coverages and spaces in the defense where he sits down to collect footballs. Right now hes a real underneath weapon but as he progresses he is going to be come a legitimate vertical threat down the field where he is going to shine.
