Expert Analysis

Will Helms

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Cotton is a versatile playmaker whose biggest impact is in the secondary, but he’s not limited to that role. His recruitment took off after a late January NC State offer and now he’s just over a month away from a college commitment. He has great ball skills and is electric when he gets the ball in his hands, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see him star on special teams at the next level.

KD has been a great leader for the Lions throughout his career, and he did an excellent job on both sides of the ball on their run to a state championship last season. KD can star anywhere on offense outside of being a lineman, and defensively he stands out as a defensive back. On both sides of the ball, KD shows impressive speed and explosive abilities in space. With the ball in his hands, KD can win as a receiver over the top, as he made several big catches against man coverage in the playoffs. Defensively, KD shows the elite ability to cover in both man and zone coverage while excelling in making tackles in space in run support. KD has a ton of offers to play college football and should have a ton of choices to choose from to play at the next level.

KD has had a great career so far, and is a supreme athlete on this Junior Bowl team. Coming off of leading West Charlotte to a state championship, KD excels anywhere on offense with the ball in his hands. He has explosive speed at the receiver position and good hands. On the other side of the ball, KD is an excellent defensive back with impressive instincts. Man or zone coverage, KD can play it very well with great agility and reaction skills when the ball is in the air, and in the open field tackling ball carriers. KD recently named a Top 5 including Power 4 schools, reflective of the special player he truly is.
