Lambeth possesses all the skill and physical ability to be one of the state’s top DB’s in the 2028 class. 6’1” 170 lbs. he combines his natural coverage instincts with his speed, lateral agility, and ball skills. A long strider his speed gives him great range to cover all three depths and recover quickly to close separation. He’s quick in the hips to smoothly transition out of his back pedal and can accelerate in the short area to turn and run with receivers downfield. Active hand usage, uses his length to his advantage to push receivers off their line and create positional leverage to close the throwing lane. Versatility allows him to play multiple positions in the secondary effectively and play both press and off coverage. Saw some varsity action as a freshman, including in the state championship game. First offered by Arizona in the Fall and will quickly rise up rankings and recruiting boards going forward.
