Expert Analysis
Vic Castillo | Prep Redzone Scout
6’4, 215 pounds. Is a multi-sport athlete out of Greensburg Central Catholic. Has experience long-snapping, primaries as a DL/TE. Recorded about 20 tackles through four games, has two single-game cut-ups on tape through five weeks, would love to see more. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for a potential mid-season tape out of the junior soon.
Checking out all Botti has to offer via Hudl, you can get the sense that GCC needs him aligned at important positions like OT/DE. I’m unsure if Botti serves as a starting tackle right now. I do, however, like what I see out of him from a defensive perspective. His build suggests he might be better suited to play OLB or TE, yet the young man is still producing where he’s needed. Raw in terms of pass rush tech, raw in terms of hand-fighting to shed, yet a good amount of runs stopped that were headed his way. Botti’s a tough kid to down-block, he’s slippery as his 215-pound frame suggests, so getting a hold of him is tough if opposing OL miss his chest early. I want to see more before getting too excited, however. A mid-season tape showing off all of his tackles in one place would be great to see, as well as all of his XP and punting snaps. I’ll be on the lookout.
