Vercher looked much more muscular than when I last saw him and he hasn’t lost any of his speed despite the size increase. He was dominating defenders in one-on-ones with his route running and had arguably the best hands at the camp.

Read EvaluationJordan Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Vercher lines up and moves like a WR for Thousand Oaks but projects as a major D1 TE with his combination of length, size, and growth potential. At 6’4″ 210 lbs. he’s an impressive athlete that can drop his hip level and accelerate out of his breaks. Natural hands catcher that has the body control and coordination to adjust to ball flight. Good speed to attack vertically and run after the catch. Recruitment kicked off in the spring with two P4 offers from Arizona and Arizona State but expect more big time programs to pull the trigger as he’s able to showcase his size and skillset.
4 Offers: Arizona, Arizona State, Toledo, Liberty
