It isn't often that you will see this blog talk about players outside the state of Georgia or Florida let alone the Southeast. But on rare occasions I will profile players from different regions. Today I want to profile an amazing athlete out of the state of Ohio by the name of Latwan Anderson.
The Ohio native who recently transferred from St. Edwards high school to the perennial powerhouse Glenville high school in Cleveland is ranked as the #2 safety in the country behind Georgia's Alec Ogletree. After watching film on both players I have come two to conclusions. First, Ogletree has the ability to develop into a better safety and possibly linebacker because of his body and unique size. The kid just walks off the bus looking like a college and possibly pro player. Anderson on the other hand just makes plays. He is what you call a ball hawk. The kid is always around the ball and does it all on a football field.
After doing some research and finding out that Anderson has admitted that he is only 5'8 3/4 instead of the 5'10 and 5'11 that most recruiting services have him listed at I see the speedy safety making the move to cornerback. He has the coverage ability to lock down most receivers and will be great in run coverage with his attacking style and ability to make the sure tackle. His 4.4 speed also translates well to the cornerback position. Additionally he can be used in the run game. If you doubt my observations let me know and check out Anderson's video.
