Jeneral Solomon Jeneral Solomon 5'11" | 175 lbs | DB Desert Mountain | 2027 State AZ has some of the better defensive back tape I’ve watched in a while, and what makes it so fun is that it’s not just one thing carrying the whole evaluation. Usually, when a DB really grabs your attention, it’s either the coverage stuff or the downhill physicality. With Solomon, it’s both, and that’s what makes him different. The first thing that jumps out is how quickly he sees run and how confident he is attacking it. He reads it early, trusts what he sees, and goes — and more importantly, he’s usually right when he does. That’s a huge deal from the back end because there are plenty of defensive backs who are willing to come support the run, but they’re late getting there, take a bad angle, or overrun the play once they finally do show up. Solomon doesn’t really have that problem. When he triggers, it’s decisive. He closes ground fast, and there’s a real edge to the way he finishes once he gets there. You also see it when he’s sent as a blitzer. He doesn’t look like a DB dipping his toe into the box — he looks comfortable attacking through traffic and finishing plays in space. Then you flip over to the coverage reps and it’s still just as impressive. His hips are fluid, he stays with guys well through their breaks, and I really liked how he plays through the hands at the catch point instead of just showing up and hoping the ball falls incomplete. That’s a small detail, but it tells you he understands how to actually finish. He doesn’t look like a DB surviving in coverage because he’s a good athlete. He looks like a DB who understands coverage — leverage, timing, and how to stay attached to a receiver without panicking. And that’s what makes the full picture so intriguing. When a defensive back can erase things downhill and still hold up when the ball goes in the air, you start talking about a player who can impact a defense in a lot of different ways.
