Expert Analysis
Michael Huntley | Prep Redzone Scout
Bishop was a top performer at the Prep Redzone Showcase in January and was one of the top overall speed testers from the event.
In his evaluation of Bishop, Zach Reyes said: “He’s a big, physical S at 6’2”/185 with natural length and explosive traits as an athlete. He was a pest in coverage disrupting routes/timing and making his physical presence felt, particularly around the second level in off-coverage. He showed closing speed and efficient angle-of-attack snapping his eyes and driving on a deep-out to create the PBU in what was one of his best reps of the day.”
I saw Bishop at the Battle at the Beach passing tournament and he has put on some muscle since then and had one of the most impressive interceptions of the day.

Bishop showed significant improvement in his coverage skill and technique as a returning showcase attendee this weekend. He’s a big, physical S at 6’2”/185 with natural length and explosive traits as an athlete. He was a pest in coverage disrupting routes/timing and making his physical presence felt, particularly around the second level in off-coverage. He showed closing speed and efficient angle-of-attack snapping his eyes and driving on a deep-out to create the PBU in what was one of his best reps of the day. With the physical upside he possesses, Bishop could end up being a major sleeper among SoCal’s 2025 DBs- continuing to refine his technique and putting together strong senior film/production will be important factors for him.

Bishop didn’t get a lot of varsity playing time last season but Los Alamitos had a loaded secondary full of Division 1 prospects.
He is lengthy, could add some size but should see some more playing time next season.
