About Matthew
Expert Analysis
Brendan Mankarious | Prep Redzone Scout
D’Avino had a tremendous senior campaign this fall. No matter where he lined up on the field, D’Avino produced for his team. What makes D’Avino unique is that he understands the subtle nuance on how to create extra space, influencing the way defenders move, by the way he runs his routes (not to be confused with creating separation in his route running). Similarly, D’Avino will use his body to box out and out-leverage defenders trying to play the ball and sells his route fakes nicely. He is a hands-catcher, high pointing the ball every opportunity he has to. By about the fourth step or so I would say D’Avino maxes out in speed. D’Avino seems to love the challenge of making catches that are heavily contested. D’Avino would benefit from a more expansive route tree and his routes will become sharper as he continues to sink his hips when breaking.
