Scout Inc Evaluation Johnson is one of those kids that is going to lace it up and make the dude lined up across from him earn his scholarship. He is a high motor and physical kid and can be disruptive in the trenches. He has solid size, but is a bit tough to place position wise. He moves around the defensive line now and will likely do the same in college mainly settling in as a bit of an undersized defensive tackle. While you wish he was a little bigger you do see the kid can be productive. He can be explosive off the ball. While lacking ideal bulk he is tough because he can fire off the ball low and win the leverage battle. He can derive power from his lower body and strike a blow and stand a blocker up and at times knock him back. You wish he was more consistent at shooting his hands and creating better separation. He flashes the ability to quickly press a blocker off of him and slip to half-a-man and rip and shed from the block. He displays good football instincts. He hustles to the ball and displays solid speed. With his motor he can offer support on the perimeter. He is no textbook tackler, but he can punish and throw down ball carriers. As a pass rusher he keeps it simple but seems to have a solid plan. He can create some initial push with a bull rush and displays the ability to slip to the shoulder and clear the blocker by being active with his hands. Johnson is a fun kid to watch. He is able to combine a motor, a physical style, and some smarts to be productive. Bit of a sleeper at the defensive tackle spot and though he will likely be a little undersized should be a disruptive college defender. Became TCU’s First Class of 2010 commitment shortly after the Class of 2009’s national siging day.

Carter is a very similar version to Christian Green from Florida only Carter is left handed and may be a more experienced passer at this point. In the right offense Carter is a QB yet he also has size and athleticism to become a running back, safety or even wide receiver if moved from QB. He has an over-the-top delivery which is rare for a lefty and this helps negate deflected passes and compensate for a lack of ideal height. He shows good drop speed and a quick set up in the pocket. Works from under center and out of the shotgun and gets rid of the ball quickly in the short passing game. Shows good zip and arm speed on underneath routes and has shown the ability to fit the ball into tight spots when his feet are set. Does a terrific job of buying time and moving around the pocket to make the throw and does not show a run first mentality. You can see he works to play within the scheme and use his athleticism only when he has to create after things break down. He is elusive and shows very good speed for the position. he can make the first defenders miss and shows very good change-of-direction for a QB. We are not convinced he is a speedster, but he runs competitively well in the open field. Carter is not a guy that is going to be able to just drive the ball vertically or make every college level throw from within the pocket with power, but he does show good arm strength. Overall, Carter is an impressive athlete and thrower and he displays solid accuracy, toughness and a competitive temperament. Good prospect and very good athlete.

Scout Inc Evaluation Roberts is a very impressive athlete with a great blend of size and vertical speed. He is a bit straight-lined but his great burst and acceleration makes him very disruptive near the line of scrimmage as an outside run supporter. Has great height and a long, well-built frame that still has plenty of room for future physical development making defensive end a likely possibility. A relentless pursuer. Lacks great hip-fluidity but is a great vertical attacker with good closing speed. Very good blitzer. Shows some wasted motion changing direction in space but redirects well in the short-area and recovers quickly off false steps. Chases well from the backside and covers a lot of ground with his lengthy frame; an effective reach and grab type of tackler from the backside and a collision tackler from the front. However, he struggles breaking down in space and tends to overrun the ball carrier and the outside zone cutback. Needs to improve leverage as a tackler and pursuer; we question his ability to sift fluidly through the fast moving traffic at the next level. Can get caught up in blocks and is not a great shedder at the point of attack but can certainly jolt blockers back and hold his base. Explosive closing in space but tackles high and does not consistently put his head around the football and wrap up low; could struggle breaking down/mirroring on the perimeter versus quicker college skill players. Overall, Roberts is a very explosive perimeter attacker who is falling under the radar; a bit wild but his combination of size and acceleration can’t be coached; technique can be polished. Coverage skills are raw making defensive end a good possibility. An outside ‘backer in a 3-4 defense may be an ideal spot; flexibility and bend off the edge as a pass-rusher would still need improvement. Notes Committed February of junior year…
S Jonathan Anderson 6-2/201/4.6 Corpus Christi, TX (Carroll) safety prospect but can move to OLB, explosive hitter.
S Elisha Olabode 5-10/180/4.5 Cedar Hill, TX Extremely quick and likes to hit, can play CB or safety, over 10 offers including Neb and Wisc. Voted DFW Defensive POY on HSGametime, had a phenomenal senior season and named to the first-team of APSE 5A all-state team, had 76 tackles, 10 TFL, 4 picks and 5 touchdowns. (a 108-yard return for a touchdown off a missed field goal, a 60-yard interception return for a touchdown and three punt returns for touchdowns of 73, 50 and 48 yards).
Scout Inc evaluation:
Elabode has everything going except physical size. He is extremely athletic and quick in the secondary. Even though he will need to gain some overall strength, he is an excellent football player. Breaks quickly out of his back peddle and closes quickly on the perimeter run and in the passing game. Very instinctive and reactive. Takes proper angles to the football and does not hesitate to bring the wood when making a hit on the ball carrier. Shows toughness and courage not shying away from bigger players. Will chest up tackle and drive legs on contact to finish the play. Sniffs out the screen and flare pass to often make a play behind the line of scrimmage. Fills the running lanes in short yardage situations and goal line to make a play in the backfield before blocking develops. An excellent pass defender that can play safety in both two deep and three deep coverage. Reacts quickly to all types of passes but is especially impressive on balls thrown in front of him; times the interception or deflection to perfection. Possesses loose hips and can turn and change direction fluidly with no loss of motion or body control. Athletic enough to play man to man coverage; could possibly play corner at the next level. Elabode has everything except the overall physical dimensions. He is one of those guys that plays much bigger than his size and can be a major contributor to the program he ends up.

Ath/LB Marcus Mallett 6-1/205/4.6 Cleveland, TX District 22-3A MVP, HM all state LB also played RB (445 yds) for 10-1 Indians.
Scout Inc Evaluation:
Mallet is a big play defender with good production on or near the line of scrimmage. Is a guy who is not going to blow you away with great size and speed measurable on paper but plays bigger and faster. Has adequate height, length and the room to add a lot of bulk to his leaner frame. Has a good nose for the ball. Takes sharp, direct pursuit angles and is a very active defender. Excels at chasing from the backside and closing in space with his very good closing burst. Gets depth in coverage and shows better-than-adequate athleticism and ball skills. Makes solid contact as a tackler. Shows he can fill hard between the tackles as well and beat blockers to the hole with his good first-step quickness and downhill burst. However, he does show difficulty when blockers reach him at the second level. At times will open up his whole body to the cutoff and struggle to disengage; needs added bulk, strength and overall size to play the strong side, where he projects at the next level. Could struggle breaking down sharply on quicker skill players and when defending the cutback; is more of a straight-line, vertical attacker. Overall, speed and good burst project to be more effective in the short-range; has a good motor but does not make a lot of plays sideline-to-sideline. That said, we could see recruiting start to pick up for Mallet. He has a frame for continued physical development and more-than-adequate explosiveness closing in space that could make him disruptive in a heavy pressure scheme in college.
CB Kevin White 5-10/175/4.5 Round rock, TX (Stony Point) Had a very good showing in the playoffs, great closing speed, plays like a true shut-down corner. Had 5 ints in 2008, 2nd Team All-District, 3rd team All-Area.

Orlan Lockhart III 6-1/195/4.6 Lake Charles, LA (Sam Houston) junior season completed 124-of-221 passes for 1,903 yards, 15 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Also rushed for 470 yards and 17 scores on 129 attempts.
Jacob Morgan 6-4/215/4.69 Austin, TX Threw for 2,285 yards and 17 tds in 2008.
Scout Inc:
Morgan is a pocket passer in the spread offense that possesses ideal measurables and is a well built prospect. He is in a shotgun offense where he dinks and dunks, but also will roll out, throw on the move and will make his fair share of throws from within the pocket to intermediate ranges of the field. He shows good arm strength, not elite, but possesses good RPM’s and when set and balanced, will plant and deliver with good power and velocity. Throws very well on the move and shows good zip on throws to the sideline when rolling to his right. He is an adequate athlete for the position, but is not much of a threat with his legs. Needs to be protected and use his arm, feet and timing to beat the rush and avoid pressure. He can change ball speeds and shows very nice touch on the deep ball and throws within the red area that needs to be dropped in over coverage. There are times when he looks like an authoritative, strong passer with big throws from the opposite hash to the sideline and he can get hot and shows nice rhythm. However, there are moments with Morgan where his accuracy is inconsistent. He will miss the strike zone when he should not. His overall throwing mechanics are a bit unorthodox, will wind-up just a bit. He isn’t always consistent with his release. We would like to see what type of footwork he can show when having to drop from center and work through progressions in the three and five step passing game. Overall, Morgan is a legitimate Division I prospect with good size and upside to develop and become more polished as a passer. He possesses the physical tools to succeed.

http://www.houstonpruitt5.com/Video.html
Scout Inc EvaluationPruitt is a very physical and aggressive football player. He has good size and is quicker than fast. A tough guy that attacks quickly on run support; really closes to the ball well. Keeps good leverage on the ball carrier when coming up from inside out from the free safety position in cover three. Equally effective in run support when coming downhill from the hash when in the two deep. Really likes to punish the ball carrier and drive through the block but must be careful to not be out of control. A reliable tackler when one on one in the openfield. As solid of a pass defender as run supporter. Breaks instantly on the pass and takes great angles to make a play on the ball or try to separate the defender after the catch. Does an excellent job of undercutting the receiver and anticipating where the route will be broken. Very alert and shows field smarts; a lot of natural instincts. Pruitt is a vey solid defensive back that plays like a linebacker but is not too out of control when playing safety. He has the great combination of quickness, toughness, intelligence along with a motor that never quits. He has the chance to be a very productive safety at the next level.

He has good size and is impressive by his aggressive play. Very physical safety when coming up on run support; has tremendous closing speed as he reads the play. Can react and change his closing angle on the ball carrier while on the move in order to keep leverage on the football. Especially good at attacking the perimeter versus the run, flare and screen pass. Very instinctive with real football savvy and a nose for the football. Takes great pursuit angles to the football when the ball breaks on the opposite side of the field; uses the sideline as an extra tackler. Displays toughness when making the angle tackle and does a good job of getting the head across the body; drives legs and finishes the play. Openfield tackles aren’t quite as picture perfect but still very reliable. Sometimes gets tied up on blockers and can’t disengage quickly. Very sound at breaking on the pass and does a good job of undercutting the deep out and comeback. Times the interception and breaks well of the hash in cover two. Cover three skills are solid as a strong safety defending the curl and flats. Martin is only limited by pure speed but does display a burst at times along with being extremely agile and quick. A very talented defensive player.
