What is it about DBs from Florida. Looks like he bulked up a little, should definitely be getting a bump in ratings.

Sr highlights

In his constant search for the next generation of defensive backs to represent "DBU," (Defensive Back University) Raymond scoured his recruiting area of Florida and stumbled across a dynamic safety prospect in Hallandale's John Battle. At 6-2, 190 pounds, Battle also has the size LSU is looking for. Add in the fact that he runs a sub 4.4, 40-yard time, and you now have the size and speed combination that NFL teams look for. Battle will visit LSU this summer, and if things go well, expect him to declare for LSU by summer's end.

Forgot he was that fast...

You think? It seems like we generally put guys with freakishly long arms at Safety.

He'll be a Safety IMO. Not that he can't play corner, but just going to be stacked at corner, if we get who we expect, and RR and TW having 2 more years.

Eric Reid

I got that impression too.
The aggressiveness of the hits make me think of Laron Landry though.

The play at the 1:50 mark Battle looks like a safety to me.

He's gonna be a beast. I can easily see him playing at 205lbs and absolutely destroying people.
