Expert Analysis
Max Karduck | Prep Redzone Scout
Past Analysis: On offense, Wyatt was their top option at receiver and his athleticism & speed helped him grab many touchdowns for the Metcalfe County squad. But on defense, Wyatt tied for first in the entire state for total interceptions at 9 (which included 2 pick-sixes). As a nickelback, Wyatt was able to lock down nearly every receiver he faced. His defensive movement aligning with the momentum of his assigned receiver is solid as he can position himself to the point where he gives zero space for the receiver to come up with the catch. Another great aspect of Wyatt’s playstyle at CB is his extremely fast reaction time. Once the ball leaves the quarterback’s fingertips, Wyatt can adjust his positioning to get to where the ball is and make a play if he is close enough. Sure enough, with his speed & agility, he can come up with many picks because of this. Although Wyatt may decide to recruit himself as a receiver, people should not sleep on his talent on the defensive side of the ball.
Current Time: Although I recently looked at Wyatt as a defensive back, I think his talent at receiver is just as good or even better than his abilities at DB. The senior had a great senior season on offense for Metcalfe County, grabbing 62 receptions for 932 receiving yards & 16 receiving touchdowns in 13 games played. Wyatt is an extremely quick receiver who is amazing at making difficult off-body grabs. Moreover, his athleticism enables him to take over the game for the passing offense as he makes it extremely difficult to make a stop on him. In the case of Wyatt, speed kills. As a defender, watch out when you’re assigned to Wyatt on a go route since he will most likely speed past you to come up with the grab. Blythe is another player who has not reported signing anywhere to play college football as of February 1st, but the talent is still there for him to pursue when the time comes.
