Expert Analysis
Matt Tate | Prep Redzone Scout
Sauer made the most of his opportunities at the varsity level as a freshman. Measuring in at 5’10 140 pounds. He has 6 total tackles, 0.5 sack, and 2 INT. Sauer has good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, change of direction, good jumping, and speed. Good read and reaction time. Sauer uses his good mental processing to watch the QB and get the interception. Good back pedal. Sauer has very good ball tracking and good catching. He’ll rip the ball out of the air to make the INT. He’s shown good coverage skills in both man and zone. I’m intrigued to see how he continues developing moving forward.

In limited game action, Sauer had 6 total tackles (1 solo, 5 assisted), 0.5 sack, and 2 INT. He measures in at 5’10 140-pounds. He has good athletic ability due to very good change of direction, acceleration, good speed, and jumping. Sauer has good read and reaction time. What stands out to me is his ball tracking and catching. He’s a ball hawk in the making, and picks the ball with ease. Good man and zone coverage with good tackling. I’m looking forward to seeing Sauer play more next season.
