A taller cornerback for Morristown Beard, Darius is one of those versatile players that could really line up anywhere in the secondary. Often found pressing up close to the line, Darius is aggressive with his hand movement and can drive receiver’s off of their routes. There are moments when Darius has been beat off of the line, but luckily he has the quickness to recover and get back involved in the play. I think where Darius shines the most is his open field tackling skills. Very few runners have success getting away from Darius in open space, as he does an exceptional job keeping his foot moving, getting low, and wrapping up fully as he pounces at the ball carrier.
