This is the type of safety you love to watch play. A kid that is a chess piece for his defense. Someone who will play deep, in the box, or out over the slot and deliver game impacting plays. He earned his spot as a Top 10 DB because of his impressive blend of athleticism and physicality. The way he can run and change direction on the fly while still being able to instantly load up and deliver hard tackles jumps off the tape while he plays near the line of scrimmage. This is a safety you can trust to make the open field, 1 on 1 tackle as your last line of defense.

In pass coverage Jonas has proven that he can play zone or man coverage. In zone you see the awareness and well trained eyes to know when to close on a receiver and how to bait a QB into a throw. In man coverage Jonas has the speed required to run down the field and also the feet and hips to be able to remain tight on his man through route breaks. I’m very excited to watch Jonas blow up this summer. Do not miss out on this kid. Dive into his highlights.

Stats: 53 Tackles, 4 INTs, 4 PBUs, 305 Rushing Yards, 6 Rushing TDs

Another really impressive safety talent that needs to be on the radars of college coaches is Jonas Berndt Jonas Berndt 6'0" | 180 lbs | DB/RB Notre Dame | 2027 State WI . The 6′ 180 lbs athlete has built a powerful frame that has the athleticism needed to win in the secondary. Jonas is so versatile in coverage. He has the smooth backpedal and footwork to transition out of his backpedal so that he can play man to man in cover 0 situations. His athleticism and play recognition allow him to easily play over the top, read the QB and then close for the tackle or play on the ball. When the junior isn’t shining at safety he was also rotating in at RB and carving up the defense for big chunks of yardage. A must watch athlete.
