SEC- South Carolina

Stephen Garcia, QB, So- Arm is just not good enough for the next level. Needs to work on his arm strength or will not be draftable as an NFL DB will have more than enough time to break on the ball and get the pick.

Moe Brown, WR, Sr- Brown is a big receiver with what looks to be good speed. I think Garcia holds him back from being better. I think he will be a late riser and could make for a nice sleeper pick.

Weslye Saunders, TE, Jr- Not a top shelf prospect, but has another year, and with his size he could make for a tough matchup. For such a big guy he’s not a great blocker. Uses his size to his advantage by shielding defenders in the pass game and wins every jump ball because of his height. Saunders is definitely someone to keep an eye on, but he’s on that border right now of how Kellen Davis was in college. All the potential in the world, but has to put it all together still.

Tori Gurley, WR, Fr- Gurley has the potential to develop into a high first rounder. He’s 6’5” with good speed and good hands. He needs to learn how to use his body better to shield off defenders and go get the ball, but has game changing ability and is huge for a true Freshman. I will be watching him closely for the next two years.

Jarriel King, LT, Jr- Not too sold on King. Not quick enough to play LT, but moved him from tackle to guard and that is probably where he will fit best. He does not have the feet to play tackle, and he’s big enough to move the pile.

Devin Taylor, DE, So- Taylor is an impressive young pass rusher. Very good speed, long arms, good pass rush move variety, and relentless in pursuit. Blocked a punt as well.

Cliff Matthews, DE, Jr- I really like Matthews a lot. Good edge rusher who sets up the speed rush well with a good power bull rush. He’s long with long arms, and he does a good job of shooting his hands and locking out the tackle. He sheds well, stacks the line, and chases the backside play hard. Versatile, and fits best as a 4-3 DE in my book, but can play the five-technique.

Eric Norwood, OLB, Sr- Norwood just makes impact plays. He has an excellent burst, he’s explosive, he has an uncanny feel for the pass rush game and how to vary his moves, and when he gets to the QB he really delivers a hit. He is not very good in pass coverage, so he will need some coaching in this area. He’s the type of player I do not want to pass on, especially if I have a 3-4 defense.

Darian Stewart, SS, Sr- Stewart started off at corner, and I thought he looked poor and would make a better safety, and lo and behold he ended up moving to SS in the middle of the year. He’s a natural fit for SS as he’s a good hitter, a strong tackler, has good enough speed, and his stiff hips won’t hurt him as much at this position. His experience at both positions will help, but he’s not a coverage guy as much as he is a versatile weapon in the box.

Hakeem Auguste, FS, Sr- Smaller DB that plays big. Big hitter, always around the ball. Good break on passes. Looks decent returning punts as well.

Nathan Pepper, DT, Sr- Not a bad prospect, but a late rounder definitely. Good motor, effort player, who is decent in both phases.
