We’ll keep the scouting reports rolling on top prospects from across the country.
Corian Gipson – SAF
Lancaster, TX (Lancaster High School)
Safety prospect that has good height and solid size. Shows good speed and athleticism. Tracks the ball well when he gets his head around, and is able to get his hands on the ball to generate PBUs. Solid in man coverage, positions himself well to make plays on the ball. Good in zone coverage where he has his eyes in the backfield, gets a good break on the ball, and times his hits well to make contact when the ball arrives. Smart player that reads the offense well from the safety position and shows on-field leadership by adjusting his teammate’s alignment and getting them into position to make plays. Good tackler in the open field and he uses the sidelines well to get the ball carrier out of bounds. Displays solid strength; he is willing to play in the box, gets good extensions on blockers, and positions himself well to slip off and make plays on the ball carrier.
Marginal hands limit his ability to generate turnovers. A multi-sport athlete that also ran track at the high school level. He has some position flex in the secondary. A good overall prospect that will be an excellent addition to any defensive scheme. He would be a good fit in the Big 10 where he can compete against the run-heavy offenses and show his ability in zone coverage. Should work his way into the rotation quickly and develop into every down player.
