I really like Polk out of YC to have a big senior season and see that attention flood in. Quick, twitched up kid with excellent instincts and disciplined eyes. Really good transition and burst on the ball- showcasing good flexibility with loose hips, frequently making bursts from all angles look smooth. Scrappy player as well as he shows the ability to utilize violent hands to fight through blocks. Excellent strength at the POC given his size at 5’10” 160lbs, frequently delivering big hits. Looking forward to what he can bring to the table here in 2025.

A lot to like about Polk’s skillset. He shows high level instincts and anticipation at CB with strong technique and footwork. Plays well with his eyes to be quick to read and react. Exceptionally ability to plant and drive on the football at the short and intermediate levels. He shows smooth hips in his transition and can change directions rapidly to accelerate coming out of his break and close separation. Flashes good execution of fundamentals and technique in both press and off coverage. He’s patient and precise with his steps to limit wasted movement. Takes good angles when breaking on the ball in coverage and when coming downhill to make a tackle. Not the biggest frame at 5’10” 170 lbs. but not afraid of contact and explodes at the POA to bring heavy thump. Possesses good upside and potential to build on going into his senior season.
