Expert Analysis
Oliver West | Prep Redzone Scout
Coming out of the Rockford area and Boylan Catholic High School, 6’2, 190 lber. Santana English Santana English 6'2" | 190 lbs | ATH Boylan Catholic | 2024 State IL excels on both sides of the football and brings length and impressive composure when the ball is in the air in pass coverage. Offensively, he’s a long strider that covers a ton of ground when going north-south and when he opens up, and is quick and can step and slip through tackle attempts with the ball in hand as a WR or after an INT. Defensively, there’s a lot going for him, especially at his size. English is proficient in shuffle technique and does a good job of staying low and dropping his hips for a bigger CB, can cover man-t0-man out of the slot or on the perimeter, and is comfortable pressing, where he uses his length and physicality to jam receivers off their marks and impact the timing and cohesion of the WR to QB relationship, which is where that speed and his long strides help him capitalize on misthrows that no one else can get to. He can also flip his well well, shows good technique in off man and is patient when getting hip to hip with a WR, where he gets his head around quickly and reacts well to the ball, and has recovery speed to boot. Additionally, when making a play on the ball, he times the break well and is solid at asserting and positioning himself strongly to finish the catch and is dangerous with the rock in his hand. Right now, NSIC competitor Winona State is his lone offer, but that will change once senior tape keeps coming out. There’s a ton of talent in Rockford for 2023, so college coaches coming into the area will be sure to hear about English and his talent.
