Jeryl Brazil - Your thoughts?

dont like him at rb. I think he ends up at cb.

A mix of Brooks and Mathieu ..hes somehwere in the middle.

Great speed and hips for corner, little undersized but good enough. Playmaker on D, while a return specialist on O.

I dont think he will be as exciting as Tyrann but who is. More of a Ron Brooks with better return game.

If you notice, most small schools and actually all high schools will put the ball in the hands of the best ATH. In the high school game your best player usually will be on the offensive side of the ball. Depending on how athletic the player is, he will make the switch to D especially in the SEC.

Most great coaches will tell you, for a corner its all about the hips. That is what seperates a wide out and a corner. In this day in age you need elite corners to defend the modern day spread. In college everybody is fast. But if you have speed AND hips you are on D. Look at Tharold Simon, you would think from size and leaping ability alone he would be a stud reciever, but his hips have him where he should be.

No doubt, that's why he's playing QB. I'm just saying he makes some really good catches on film, you don't see that in every "was the best ATH on the team so got the ball every play" prospect.

I agree CB all the way and Brazil wants to play CB. I have him #1 in the state at the moment because of the simple fact that his skillset is not one than can be mistaken or missed in evaluation. No matter what competition, what position or how bad he plays in a particular game, his speed, athleticism and drive aren't going anywhere. Once coached up Brazil could be a star. He has all the talent to be one. As I see more of Tim Williams, Smith , Diarse and Jefferson this year I'll reevaluate and really any of them could end up #1. Some have Beckwith #1 and I think he'd be fortunate to break the top 5 but not because he isn't talented. Those 5 are just that talented. Tredavious White is one to that could sneak up the rankings big this year if he performs well.

I like an honest man. I like the way he has handled himself. He has leadership potential written all over him. He is our homegrown DAT. Our coaches are smart enough to let him be the best cb of the year over time.

Recovery speed?

F.A.S.T.

The recruiting services tend to show the love to the guys with Elite speed and size. Brazil has elite speed.

I feel he gets a look at WR and CB, seems like a fair assumption.

"The Jet" got an offer from Nebraska...
He will continue to receive offers.
Glad we will see him in Purple and Gold
