Expert Analysis
Vic Castillo | Prep Redzone Scout
- 6’1, 225 pounds. 4.1 GPA. Posted sophomore tape just two months ago, this the reason for him not being on our database. Formerly out of Shaler Area. Picked up an FBS offer via Eastern Michigan recently.
- Soph season tape posted late. On radar now. Has seven single-game tapes readily available. I recommend making a mid-season tape for coaches to watch ASAP, yet he’s clearly gaining traction in the recruiting world regardless. Has enough tape to do so. Took a look at his two most recent tapes for the brief eval. Norwin’s tape has Tapu strictly on special teams. PCC is loaded, so I won’t take two-way special teams reps for granted. Can see him work against Shaler Area, where he aligns as a 4-2-5 DE. Gets inside pressure/penetration via inside stunt/game. Recorded a sack off the edge against another player mentioned in this piece. Gets wide with the intent to single out opposing tackles to eventually win with lateral quickness and agility. Tough player who keys run plays well, great motor and effort witnessed with each rep. NA tape shows what he’s capable of with his hand off the dirt, as well as more special teams reps, excited to see more.
