Expert Analysis
Jordan Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
East possesses a diverse skillset that can impact the game in all three phases from multiple positions but was a 1,000 yard rusher as a sophomore with 12 touchdowns on 188 carries. 5’10” 180 lbs. he’s an attacking ball carrier that puts constant pressure on the defense to be gap sound. Flashes a decisive running style making quick reads and getting north-south without hesitation or wasted movement. Uses high level vision and instincts to read his blocks and locate a running lane while running full speed. He’s slippery in the open field but is a physical runner between the tackles and at the first level. Shows he can lower his shoulder, initiate contact, and fight through contact with good leg drive and balance. One to watch as he continues to develop.
