There’s absolutely no substitute for speed no matter what level of football being talked about. Enter, Searcy. He has pretty good size right now at 5-foot-7 and 140-pounds, but it’s his speed that makes him one of the elite players in this class. His electronic (verified) 4.6 in the forty is special for a young man entering his eighth-grade year. In fact, he has some of the best in-game speed I’ve seen for a prospect in this class. In addition to what he can do running the ball, Searcy is also a huge threat in the passing game. Whether it’s a wheel route out of the backfield or splitting him out in an empty set, he has reliable hands and the wheels to get behind Linebackers and Defensive Backs that are tasked with covering him. Can probably go without saying, but he’s also a threat in the kick and punt return game, as well. Though he plays a different position, former first-round pick, Tavon Austin, is a great NFL-comparison here.
