Prep Redzone Scout

Niday measures in at 5’8 165-pounds, and had a solid game against Durango. The junior went 1/1 for 14 Yds, and 4 receptions for 93 yards. Niday has good athletic ability due to very good change of direction, jumping, good speed, and acceleration. Niday has a good release and quick feet to beat the DB at the line of scrimmage. He attacks the press jam and breaks quickly into his route. Good separation quickness due to mental processing, and athletic ability. He’ll out juke the defender or find an open void to exploit. Good catching with very strong hands to hold onto the ball. Niday has good ball adjustment and very good body control. He’s a great young receiver who has shown to be a consistent catcher for his quarterback.
