Kosci is a talented and long defensive back who helped the Whirlies win a state championship last season, and he has a number of college football programs after his services. Kosci has narrowed it down to a Top 6 schools, which include North Carolina, South Carolina, Rutgers, Kentucky, Miami, and Mississippi State. Kosci will announce his decision on July 26th. Kosci excels in man coverage, staying in phase with receivers on a variety of routes, and shows excellent ball skills. Those ball skills translate when he is a receiver on offense as well, used as a deep threat against single coverage. Finally, Kosci is not afraid to come up and run support from his corner position, tackling well in space.
