Oliver West | Prep Redzone Scout
Nothing like a mega camp to really kickstart a prospect’s recruitment, and Glenbrook South’s 2025 CB standout Tyrone Cotton Tyrone Cotton 6'1" | 160 lbs | DB Glenbrook South | 2025 State IL III is another example of how quickly a recruitment can change during the Summer Camp SZN. Cotton III earned four offers from Western Michigan, Kent State, Western Illinois, and Grand Valley State after his performance at the North Central mega camp, and followed it up with three FBS offers from Miami (OH), Akron, and Buffalo and P4 offer from Indiana after he balled out at the UIndy Mega Camp. Marshall and Southern Illinois joined the mix during June as well, but Cotton III ended up committing to a program who put their faith in the Chicagoland DB and pulled the trigger before his stock-rising Summer Camp SZN campaign. The South Dakota State Jackrabbits offered up on March 1st and got Cotton III up to Brookings for an unofficial visit in mid-April. That early evaluation and faith showed by the Jacks paid off in the end, as Cotton III committed on June 16th for an excellent DB pickup for the back-to-back defending FCS national champs.
Cotton III’s speed and explosiveness, which has been clocked in the 4.5s as well as a his 6’5 high jump, shows up as a big-play wide receiver with vertical ability, and he has an impressive rep of him running down a loose RB from the backside CB position far downfield to save a TD. The off-man cornerback displays a smooth backpedal, does a good job of undercutting wide receivers, and uses his length effectively at the catch point and shows good technique when breaking up passes. The 6’1, 170 lber. can also tackle in 1v1 situations and in space and does a good job of maintaining phase with receivers throughout their route. Cotton III earned and deserved all of his Summer Camp SZN attention and success. We can’t wait to watch him with the Jackrabbits.
