2020 cornerback prospect Isaiah Dunson from Tucker HS in Georgia committed to the Seminoles on August 23.\u00a0 He is currently the 315th ranked prospect nationally,\u00a0 26th ranked cornerback and 30th ranked player in the state of Georgia according to 247sports.\u00a0 Tucker is a well known program in the state of Georgia that has a history of producing quality prospects.<\/p>\n
Dunson has length at 6-2 and that shows up on film.\u00a0 The first few clips on his junior highlight film feature him at wide receiver.\u00a0 I have spoken on this in the past as it seems playing on the offensive side of the ball,\u00a0 particularly at wide receiver,\u00a0 can garner you a great deal of attention as a defensive back when it comes to getting ranked in high school.\u00a0 One of the major reasons for that is because you will show up more on film at wide receiver.\u00a0 It becomes easier to display your athletic skill when you have the ball in your hands.<\/p>\n
Dunson does display solid ball skills from the wide receiver position and an ability to use his size to gain an advantage.\u00a0 These are things that you can project for him at the defensive back spot at the next level.\u00a0 There isn’t a ton from him after the catch on his wide receiver clips but his ability with the ball in his hands shows up in the clips featuring him returning kicks.<\/p>\n
His defensive back skills are raw as there is work to be done on his back pedal, body control and hip flips.\u00a0 With that said,\u00a0 there’s much to work with there athletically.\u00a0 In terms of projection,\u00a0 Dunson’s ceiling his high because of his size and athleticism.\u00a0 Currently he is a more polished wide receiver than defensive back. I can see why Florida State would be excited about him as a defensive back prospect given his attributes.\u00a0 IN what press clips I was able to see from some camp visits,\u00a0 Dunson is solid in using his size and length when in press man situations.\u00a0 In other words,\u00a0 he plays big.\u00a0 He also does a good job in keep contacting with wide receivers and tracking the ball on deep throws.\u00a0 One other thing that stands out is his ability to get back into it when beat on intermediate routes to stick a hand in the basket to get a pass break up.<\/p>\n
It will be interesting to see his development throughout his senior campaign as he will be relied upon even more on defense to lead Tucker throughout the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
