Danns recently transferred out of Servite and into Mater Dei where he is capable of becoming a national level recruit. 6’0” 160 lbs. he carries his length well and shows the athletic ability to match up and lock down on the outside against top tier competition. Tough to gain separation on, he stays attached to receivers with smooth transitions, controlled footwork, and natural coverage instincts. Holds the speed to stay in phase carrying vertical routes and the change of direction to match movement underneath. Works comfortably in multiple coverages, showing effectiveness in press situations where he can use his hands to reroute as well as in off coverage where he keeps plays in front and reacts downhill. In zone, he flashes good vision and field awareness with the range to peel off and close space as the QB works through the progression. Initial college offer from North Carolina but will explode as the cycle progresses.
