Raw Skills

So often recruiting is all about seeing the potential of a kid. That means finding someone who has a great frame to put on weight, or a kid who has speed and good hips to play defensive back, or a an athlete that projects well to other positions. Regardless, in each potential recruit there has to be something that gives a school the idea that hey this kid will be able to play on the next level as long as he improves in this area.

Today I have chosen to look at Linebacker Tyrone Cornileus out of Stephenson High School in Stone Mountain, GA. Tyrone looks to have all the physical qualities of a top notch outside linebacker. First off he has a nice frame at 6'2 and only weighing 195 lbs. there is obviously room to add weight to his build. Tyrone also possess elite speed for the LB position and shows really well in coverage with great leaping ability. It is clear that given time and a college weight program he can add the size to really make a difference at an outside linebacker position. He already has great ability to sink his hips when taking on linemen and making tackles. The added weight will allow him to explode through blockers and defenders.

This three star backer has offers from most schools in the SEC and projects as a better player than his current ranking. I definitely see him as a potential pro player if he continues to improve his play as well as his measurables.

Check out some of his highlights below:
