Jaylen McCollum is one of the most underrated, lockdown DBs in the state- he’s been so productive for Jasper the last few seasons.

“At 6’1 180, McCollum has great size and plays with a ton of speed and physicality outside at CB.

McCollum is highly instinctual and excellent at reading and reacting to plays. He isn’t easily beaten in coverage, is a constant threat to pick off/break up passes, and consistently puts himself in great position to take down the ball carrier when defending the run.

McCollum thrives off his physicality. He reroutes WRs at the line of scrimmage, is great in man coverage, and can easily fight off blocks and deliver huge hits to the ball carrier.“

McCollum has locked up almost everyone he’s lined up across from over the last two seasons. I’m a huge fan of his game and think he has a huge final season ahead. We’re all going to have to watch out.

McCollum pairs intriguing size and athletic traits with a physical demeanor as a corner. He does a good job of remaining physical during the route process, especially at the line of scrimmage. That violence translates as a tackler, where he isn’t afraid to come downhill and thump. From a size and physicality standpoint, McCollum should be considered one of the best DBs in the state.

Jaylen McCollum is another talented DB we watched earlier this year, and he showed up big in Jasper’s opener last Friday.

McCollum more than did his part in Jasper’s 41-7 win over Brookwood, hauling in an INT, FR, and providing great coverage and run defense all game long. It didn’t matter what Brookwood was trying to accomplish; Jasper and this secondary had an answer.

I can’t wait to see more from McCollum this year, in the meantime, check out some of his highlights from this week:

Something that really jumped off McCollum’s tape were his speed and pursuit- he plays with unbelievable effort every snap and will work his way across the entire length of the field if it means he can come up with a stop for his defense.
