DeNairo makes a strong showing in these recent rankings. Coming in at #5 overall and the #1 DB after being on the Watch List in the preseason rankings. Being a key player on a strong Great Mills team this past season, Girton made plays all over the field in coverage. Totaling 8 PBUs and 4 INTs, his ability to be an impact player on D from multiple spots on the field proved very valuable.

What stands out most about DeNairo is his prototype size for the position and his overall athleticism. At 6’3″ with excellent length and a well filled out frame – he fits the mold that colleges look for in a DB for today’s game. He has great positional versatility as well. Able to play in the box, single high, split safety, and rangy enough to get sideline to sideline. Girton also displays great speed to go along with his build. He has a verified 11.2 100M from spring of his freshman year and self reported 4.55 40. That is a total package player that will certainly garner attention from college coaches. He’s not just a combine athlete though, he shows it on the field as well. Smooth, fluid and sudden as a DB. He shows great feet and hips, closes quickly on the ball and will hit you. A player with ton of potential that I look forward to seeing more of in the future.

His recruitment has also started to take off as it should be. Girton holds nine total P4 offers right now and I would expect that number to be closer to 20 after this summer. Another prospect who is possibly a bit under the radar on the National level currently, expect his stock to continue to rise as more college coaches get eyes on him during the spring/summer window.

DeNairo has been lights out this season for a surging Great Mills team that could be a problem for other teams in the playoffs. He’s got a nice long frame that will fill out well in the years to come. Plays smooth and sudden with quick feet / hips. Girton also has the speed to go with his size as he ran a 11.2 100M last spring as freshman. He lines up on both sides of the ball for Great Mills at WR/DB, but I think he will be best as a S in college. He plays fast, shows range and is quick to close on the ball & strike. DeNairo just picked up his first offer from Univ. of Maryland the other day and more are certainly in his future. He was on the WL for my 2028 Rankings before the season started and he has certainly earned a strong bump in the end of year rankings coming up.
