Expert Analysis
Alin Edouard | Prep Redzone Scout
Epps is a productive and dependable defensive back who brings consistency and toughness to the secondary. He finished the season with 76 tackles and 2 PBUs, showing he’s far more than just a coverage defender he’s heavily involved in stopping the run and cleaning up plays in space. He triggers downhill with urgency, takes disciplined angles, and wraps up well, making him a reliable presence when plays spill outside.
In coverage, Epps shows good field awareness and understanding of route concepts. He keeps everything in front of him, stays patient in his backpedal, and breaks on the ball with timing. His ability to read the quarterback allows him to anticipate throws and put himself in position to disrupt passing lanes. The 2 PBUs don’t fully capture how often he’s around the football and influencing plays.
What stands out most is his motor and physicality. Epps plays with a high level of effort snap after snap, competes through the whistle, and isn’t afraid to match up against bigger or more physical opponents. He communicates well, stays engaged pre-snap, and shows leadership traits on the back end of the defense.
