Expert Analysis
Shayne Pickering | Prep Redzone Scout
Brandon Leavell is a versatile athlete prospect that likely projects best as a defensive back with his very good to elite length, straight line burst and ball skills.
He plays both receiver and defensive back for his high school and is a very productive player on offense, defense and special teams.
As a defensive back, I think he projects best as a safety or even zone corner, where he can put his foot in the ground and explode upfield to make a play on the ball and/or ball carrier. He has a strong frame with a long wingspan, which gives him the ability to be a sure tackler at the next level when he gets to work with a college level strength staff.
The receiver ability is evident with his ball tracking ability and ball skills, where he can intercept passes off when playing in more of a safety role.
Some teams will like him as a receiver with his size, athleticism and ball skills which shows his versatility, but he could be an underrated piece of the secondary for a strong college program at the next level.
Wherever you like him positionally, his high-level special teams impact will give him a high floor for translating to the college game.
