Expert Analysis
Brendan Mankarious | Prep Redzone Scout
Unfortunately I could not find Dye’s senior highlight tape online so the following evaluation is based on his junior film.
Although the first clip of him is on defense, you can see Dye’s explosiveness and his leg drive delivers a sudden jolt backwards to the ball carrier. As a rusher, Dye appears patient when he runs affording any pullers to get through the hole ahead of him or for a lane to open up. Once daylight appears, Dye accelerates to the hole. In situations like this there is a slight change in speed that you are able to observe. He is a bigger back with great balance who keeps his legs working. This renders weak or arm tackles ineffective against him. Dye runs his track well, avoiding bouncing to the outside prematurely. In fact, much of his highlights – even the big gainers – show him breaking through the tackle box. When in the open field Dye will utilize the stiff arm or high-step over defenders who try to tackle him low. Profiling as more of a power back who demonstrates more power than wiggle, Dye has shown a propensity to lower his shoulder and barrel over defenders coming in high. This makes me think Dye profiles better as a 1-cut runner rather than one who will cut back against the grain – although he has. I would like to see Dye protect the ball with both hands as he gets through the first two levels of the defense, as well as lower his pad level in the same situation.
