A Big Fish in a Big Pond

So often you hear of kids transferring from one school to another for more exposure or a better program. The bad thing is it does not always work out that well. Kids struggle to make the adjustments from a smaller program to the demands of a higher more competitive one. It is almost like going from high school to college in some cases.

One player that I feel will have a smooth transition is Kadetrix Marcus (known as JJ). This 6'0 185 lb. safety has size an range as a deep hole safety. JJ does not appear to be the most physical safety but moving from Hillgrove high school to Stephenson will force him to become stronger and more of a hitter seeing as though Stephenson plays more run oriented teams.

The biggest plus with JJ's game is he is a ball hawking safety that always seems to be at the right spot on the field. JJ has a great football IQ and gets his players lined up well. JJ also reads plays well and anticipates which allows him to always be around the ball.

Ball skills, strength, and overall footwork are the areas that this upcoming senior needs to improve on in order to get more attention than he already has. I look forward to seeing him in an SEC school check out his video an see what you think....
