About Darnell
Expert Analysis
Jordan Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
A good natural athlete at 6’1” 175 lbs. that can be a difference maker on both sides of the ball. His 30 inch vertical and 4.6 40 time in combination with his plus body control and ball skills speak to his well-rounded athleticism. Tracks and adjusts well to ball flight and does a good job timing out his jump to attack the ball at the high point. Strong instincts to read and react and trigger to run/pass while putting himself in position to make plays. Does a good job breaking down in space and wrapping up to the ground as a tackler. Plays a hybrid OLB/SS for his HS but projects as a Safety at the college level. Has received camp invites and junior day invites from a variety of college programs.

Darnell is a great overall athlete and is able to run around a 4.6 40 yard dash. He flies all around the field and compiled 58 tackles and 4 pass breakups on the season last year. He wraps up nicely using very solid technique while doing so. He has a very high IQ and vision so he is able to read the play and the offense quickly. He is bound for a breakout season this year.

Darnell is one of the most intriguing players in the 2024 class. He plays with urgency, always being involved with tackles. He enjoys contact, I can tell that by watching film. He has great size and likely isn’t done growing just yet. He’s excellent in pass coverage, reading the quarterback very well and being able to stay with the wide receivers too.
