Sherman
6'0" | 185 lbs | DB/WR
Cumberland Valley | 2027
State
PA
of Cumberland Valley High School is an instinctive 2027 defensive back who brings physicality and football IQ to the secondary. At 6’0”, 180 pounds, Sherman has a solid frame that allows him to match up well in coverage while also holding up in run support. He does an excellent job reading offensive routes, showing patience in zone and reacting quickly once the quarterback commits. His anticipation allows him to break on the ball with confidence and close space in a hurry. Sherman thrives when he can fly downhill, delivering aggressive, tone-setting hits on receivers after the catch. He plays with controlled aggression, rarely taking poor angles when coming forward to make a play. In coverage, he stays balanced in his backpedal and transitions efficiently out of his breaks. With his instincts and physical edge, Sherman projects as a defensive back who can impact the game both in coverage and as a force in the open field.
