Destinn Basemore Destinn Basemore 5'10" | 180 lbs | LB Louisville Central | 2027 State KY rounds out the top three in the 40-yard dash by clocking a 4.62 on his first attempt and a 4.65 on his second. Basemore is a running back and linebacker for Louisville Central, and proved his potential for explosiveness by also testing a 109 in the broad jump, as well as a 4.65 in the pro shuttle. His above-average testing scores made him stand out as one of the top athletes of the day on Sunday. In addition, Basemore recently cracked the new class of 2027 rankings.

Basemore is a smooth athlete with good body control, and his wrestling background shows up in the way he plays through contact and works off blocks. He understands how to use his strength and frame to his advantage, staying balanced and engaged throughout reps. I thought his speed stood out as well, especially with how he could chase plays down from behind. He put together a productive year 3 with 74 tackles, 1 interception, and 1 forced fumble. He strikes me as one of those players who is being talked about far less than he probably should be.
