Continue ReadingThe defensive back position is one of my favorites to evaluate since it was what I played in high school. A high school defensive back who can not only cover but fly up and make tackles is very fun to watch. These guys I am going to talk about are all both great in coverage and at tackling. They are guys everyone should have on their radar heading into the 2022 season. I expect them to make more big plays next year. They are definitely guys who can change a game.
Amare Snowden Amare Snowden 6'4" | 190 lbs | DB Roseville | 2023 State MI |
Snowden has tremendous ball skills and comes down with every interception thrown near him. Snowden has excellent technique and can turn and run with wide receivers. Snowden’s ball skills translate well to the receiver position as he does a great job of catching deep balls. At 6-3, 188lbs, Snowden has the ideal size and length you look for in a cornerback. Snowden shows the versatility to line up at slot corner as well. I am a big fan of his game and look forward to seeing how he does next year as a senior.
Jameel Croft Jameel Croft 6'1" | 165 lbs | DB Detroit King | 2023 State MI | Hudl
Croft is excellent at opening his hips in zone coverage. Croft has the ability to run a long way and track down interceptions. Croft is so good at mirroring wide receiver’s movements. He has the outstanding stop-start ability and it helps him work back to the football to create pass breakups. Croft runs with receivers so well that any football that is underthrown will likely be intercepted by Croft. You can tell that Jameel Croft Jameel Croft 6'1" | 165 lbs | DB Detroit King | 2023 State MI is a guy that loves to compete and do everything he can to help his team win.
Torrence Greene Torrence Greene 5'11" | 170 lbs | DB Ann Arbor Huron | 2023 MI | Hudl
Greene is a guy I have talked about a lot. He is a guy whose tape has really stood out the last two years. Greene has a tremendous range at the safety position. He will read the quarterback and confidently break on the football and make an interception. Greene does a great job of taking proper angles when coming up to make tackles. In the Dexter game this past year, Greene made several open-field tackles on Cole Cabana Cole Cabana 6'0" | 185 lbs | RB Dexter | 2023 State MI . I have followed the Ann Arbor Huron program closely for the past few years and have been very happy to see the success the program has had. Greene is one of the guys who has played a big role in their football program winning a lot of football games.
Devon Buskin Devon Buskin 6'0" | 160 lbs | DB Southfield | 2023 State MI | Hudl
Buskin is a great open-field tackler at the safety position. Buskin makes great plays on the football. He shows very good range in deep zone coverage and can run a long way to make pass breakups. Buskin does not give up on plays and will fight to break up every pass. Buskin shows no fear when it comes to making big hits. Buskin is a guy that should have another outstanding year in 2022. I look forward to seeing him add to what is already a very impressive highlight tape.
