Slipping Through The Cracks

Finding talent is not a science. Kids get overlooked or under-publicized. Coaches don't actively promote players. It is a whole host of things that make recruiting talent a difficult thing and not an art form. Needless to say I love when kids who are two or three star players show a world of talent on film. I think I have found another kid who does just this.

Dean Haynes is a do it all player out of Turner Hill, GA. The 6'0 180lbs. two athlete does whatever his team needs, and does it quite well. When it comes to offense, Dean shows great play making ability from the quarterback position. A great instinctual athlete, Dean knows when to run and when he does he always makes the first defender miss and runs with authority and power. As a defender Dean is a big strong kid who makes plays on the ball, and always puts himself in good positions. He has great leaping ability and can really jam receivers at the line of scrimmage. Dean is also a strong and sure tackler in run support.

When I look to project Dean I see him as defense of player and possibly a speciality player (situational wildcat quarterback). If Dean does not work out at corner he has the physical tools and speed to make an impact at the safety position. Regardless, NC State definitely got a gifted player in Dean Haynes.....
