Expert Analysis
Oliver West | Prep Redzone Scout
Keep an eye on Lakeville North’s Gavin Casey Gavin Casey 5'10" | 170 lbs | DB Lakeville North | 2027 State MN if you’re interested in following potential stock risers, as the hard-hitting safety had some of the most physical and bone-shattering hits I saw out of the entire 2027 class’s evaluations. A multi-sport athlete out of the 6A Metro ranks, it ain’t easy starting on the Panther’s defense as an underclassman, but Casey looked like a hardened vet on tape who excels especially well as a tackler and in situations involving contact. Casey is a crushing tackler who lit some receivers up like Christmas trees, coming down into contact like he was shot out of a cannon and rattling cages and laying the wood like a professional hard hitter. The 170 lber. crumples receivers and RBs backward when he stamps them, and does a good job of creating clean shots and squaring up on ball carriers when he sticks them. He also comes out of the secondary like a missile and is an enforcer in the MOF, and laid a bruising and aggressive hit on a helpless Roseville WR to prove it to opposing offenses on tape. He also is an instinctive and productive pass defender who does a good job of reading route concepts and the QB’s eyes to step into passing lanes around the first and second level of the field and does a good job of generally reading, processing, and then triggering on the ball with intensity, play speed, and bad intentions like you’re you can only find out of Lakeville North defenders. Casey also displays loose hips, can gain depth in his backpedal to stay on top of receivers going vertical, and does a good job of high-pointing and playing the football out of the air. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that a Lakeville North defender is one a list as one of the state’s hardest hitters.
