Expert Analysis
Cole Laing | Prep Redzone Scout
See what I previously wrote on Sam below. He remained as our 25th overall ranked player in our most recent update. He has a strong junior season playing in 12 games with 26 Rec, 347 Yds, and 7 TDs and has received multiple P4 offers.
Very good height with a good frame with lots of room to add functional mass. Good athletic ability with good foot speed, acceleration, lateral agility, flexibility, change of direction, and solid explosiveness. A balanced Tight End can be used as a receiver and as a blocker. As a receiver, he has solid route running ability, with solid release out of two and three-point stances. Solid route stems setting up the top of the route, able to run change of direction routes and deep Seams, Posts, and Corners. Good separation quickness versus Zone coverages, with good processing of the defense to find the hole in the coverage. Solid separation quickness versus man, winning with his size. Good hands and adjust to throws, with solid run-after-catch ability. Good run blocker with good competitive toughness in his blocks, showing good block fits and drive on his blocks with good sustain. Can be used in Gap and Zone blocking schemes and as a puller to lead block to the second level. Overall, a good Tight End prospect with high upside as he develops his body, strength, and explosiveness.
