CB Rock Ya-Sin, Temple
Strengths
Versatile, capable of playing both man and zone well. Fluid hips allow for quick changes of direction which helps him to mirror receivers and stick to his man in coverage. Tracks the ball well in the air, putting himself in position to make plays he shouldn't have opportunities to make. Can run deep with receivers and does not get beat over the top in man or deep zone. Fights for the football when in the air, does not let the receiver make a clean catch. Not afraid to come up in run support, always goes after a ballcarrier with aggression.
Weaknesses
Occasionally struggles to get a successful jam in press man coverage. Is forced to use athleticism to cover for technique mistakes at times. Isn't always the surest tackler, especially against the run.
Other
