Samarae is my #1 DB in this class, but #3 when you factor in other likely DBs who I put in the “ATH” category.

Yes, Samarae is ranked ahead of some DBs with division 1 offers. Why? Because he has better tape than all of them, performed extremely well at a recent camp, and has good testing numbers.

Strengths

Great athletic traits

Far more explosive than most DBs

Good ball skills

Plays slot DB- a lot of great run stop highlights

Good ball skills

Weaknesses

Can force more INTs

Tends to lose a step when WR makes cut

Needs to have faster feet

Saw Samarae at our Prep Redzone camp. Easily won DB MVP. Good man corner. Good run stopper. Really hard to nitpick his game. Could have faster feet and change of direction, but once he does change direction, he’s explosive enough to make up that ground. He also has longer than average arms than go up and swat balls.

Just speaking on skill, Samarae should be a MAC prosepct.
