Expert Analysis
Matt Tate | Prep Redzone Scout
Chu measures in at 5’9 180-pounds playing SS for Creek. Last season, he had 15 total tackles (7 solo, 8 assisted) and 1 FF. Chu has good athletic ability due to very good change of direction, acceleration, good speed, and jumping. Good read and reaction speed. Notices it’s a run and comes down from the deep safety position to make a play. Great run support with stout tackling. Chu is a hard hitter and is aggressive when tackling. He’ll punch the ball out when given the opportunity. Uses his quick feet to decelerate and accelerate back, adjusting angles to make the tackle. Chu brings this same type of energy to the special teams. Runs down the field like a heat seeking missile and tackles the returner. Keep an eye on Chu this camp season.

Read EvaluationRobert Davis | Prep Redzone Scout
Chu brings intriguing versatility as a hybrid defender capable of lining up as a nickel or linebacker. His ability to cover inside receivers stands out, particularly in zone concepts where his awareness and positioning allow him to be effective. Chu shows a natural feel for reading the quarterback and reacting to routes developing in front of him. His skill set fits well in zone coverage as he has the flexibility and coverage ability at the second level. As he continues to develop physically and refine his technique, Chu has the potential to become a reliable defender who can impact the game in multiple roles. He is certainly a name to monitor as he continues to progress.
