About Danny
Expert Analysis
Dame Lester | Prep Redzone Scout
Lang, a 6-1, 165-pound four-star hybrid safety/corner with interest from USC and Oregon, is a reactionary athlete who flies to the ball with a mean streak. His strengths: physicality in coverage, solid instincts to play anywhere in the secondary, and a high-effort motor that racks up tackles (31 as a junior) and pass deflections (10). At Mater Dei, he’s versatile but his lean frame can be a weakness against bigger receivers in jump-ball scenarios, where he might lack the bulk to contest effectively. To counter Hale, Lang should attack with press-man technique to jam at the line, disrupting Hale’s release and forcing him into off-script routes. Use his quickness to undercut intermediates and his range to help over the top, turning Hale’s size advantage into contested opportunities.
