Expert Analysis
Oliver West | Prep Redzone Scout
We’re heading back to the NW ‘burbs and Anoka High School to check out their impressive 6’2 WR and combo guard Darren Nyanyuki. He’s coming off an impressive youth football and basketball campaign and had a solid showing at the Minnesota Gopher’s prospect camp in early June, and is going to be a force once he’s eventually called up to varsity. With tons of length, Nyanyuki is noticeably confident and effective route runner for his age. He can drop his hips and create separation out of his breaks for a taller & younger wideout and shows good footwork in his releases at the LOS as well. He’s deceptively fast and glides by pursuers in the open field with ease, and possesses juice after the catch,with balance and quickness shining through when he’s in the open field with the pigskin in-hand. Like his height and athleticism from his hoops background would suggest, he can easily win 50/50 balls and will climb the ladder to high point the rock over DBs. There’s a great play 1:45 into his midseason tape where a Coon Rapids DL picks up a loose fumble and Nyanyuki, starting 20 yards behind the DL, runs him down to save a TD in the blink of an eye. He’s been dominant against non-varsity competition, is an impressive and eye-catching athlete, and will be playing varsity football next season. He’s got a shot to be a great one.
