Westry’s upside flashed throughout the season despite operating in a limited role. His dynamic closing speed paired with his linebacker-like instinct stand out. Rather he’s triggering downhill, disrupting perimeter/ screen plays, or filling alleys- he plays with an aggression that isn’t common for corners.

This short-area explosiveness paired with his long speed makes Westry a certified playmaker on the boundary. His hidden value as slot defender is worth noting. He can blitz, disrupt timing, and create splash plays around the football with his burst and tenacity. The athleticism, playmaking, and decisiveness in Westry’s game makes him a sure fire candidate for a break out season when his opportunity arrives.

Zion Westry Zion Westry 6'1" | 175 lbs | DB/ATH Hewitt-Trussville | 2028 State AL is a talented DB I think will have a ton of success this fall.

“Westry is a gifted DB who can come up with big stops against the run and pass. Westry has great instincts and is terrific at flying to the ball- against the run, Westry is terrific in pursuit and has also shown the ability to strip the ball and create turnovers. In coverage, Westry is tough to beat downfield, has great ball skills, and frequently breaks up passes- he came away with some huge stops in the red zone and deep downfield last fall.

I think what impresses me most with Westry’s tape is how willing and talented of a tackler he is- he takes terrific angles, wraps up really well, and is always willing to come downfield and deliver big hits, no matter who has the ball.“
