Expert Analysis
Mark Johnson | Prep Redzone Scout
Gatlin is an intriguing prospect that is on the rise. The 6’1″ 225 lbs off-ball LB has no shortage of physicality. He is a stout tackler that ends all forward progression on contact. The strength is there to take on blocks and shed them without losing ground or getting driven out of a gap. Empey is also very assignment sound, always filling his gap against the run. Gatlin also flashed the range to be able to get out into the flats to cover short routes and could open up that range even more if we see him continue to make improvements athletically. If being a downhill, physical LB wasn’t enough, Gatlin also took snaps at RB where he dared defenders to meet him 1 on 1 in the hole and bring him down. The physicality definitely carries over to the offensive side of the ball. Keep an eye on this kid.
