Part of Steinert’s strong season last fall coincides with the the emergent play of Makai Blackstone Makai Blackstone 6'0" | 170 lbs | DB Steinert | 2027 State NJ . As a safety, we see Blackstone stay in his backpedal as he reads the quarterback, only breaking when the quarterback indicates where he is going with the ball. This, however, does not take away from the belief that he should be early to the pass and late to the run. A low tackler who raps well makes him a strong run supporter in the alley – although I would encourage him to not tive up his feet. Seeing toss is one of his strong suits, as Blackstone absolutely flies up to take that play away. Should he over-commit or read incorrectly, Blackstone has shown recovery speed and aggression to make up for it. Lastly, he delivers his body through the man to dislodge the ball when covering.
