Expert Analysis
Will Helms | Prep Redzone Scout
Cotton is a long, lean edge rusher who burst onto the scene as a junior after another talented edge rusher transferred out. Cotton keeps his weight down as an all-state wrestler, and you can see that background in the way he uses his hands. He’s likely to get better as a run defender, and he showed continue to develop his pass-rushing arsenal.

Cotton came out of nowhere last season to be one of the state’s leading pass rushers. Now, he’s far more well-known and isn’t flying under the radar anymore. He’s a lengthy edge rusher who can rush the passer (obviously) or crash down and attack the running game.

Cotton was our biggest mover at edge rusher, something that tends to happen after a 21-sack season at the 6A level. Since August, he’s our biggest riser in the class, regardless of position, going from unranked to 85th in a matter of months. There’s some untapped potential, as he has room to add more weight and improve his power. Still, he knows how to get after the quarterback.

Dudley lost a premier pass-rusher in the weeks before the season, and Cotton has more than answered the call. The length junior has 13 sacks through eight games, and he’s been nominated for multiple player of the week awards. He wins mostly off of athleticism, so he still has some untapped potential as a scary pass-rusher.
