Scouting Journals for Javion Hilson

Dynamic speed rusher who makes plays in the backfield at a high rate. Measured at 6-foot-3.5 and around 225 pounds prior to his junior season. Touts good length for the position. Flashes high-end speed in combine settings and track and field where he posted an impressive 11.29 second mark in the 100 meters as a sophomore. Transfers that athleticism onto the field, where he wins with pure speed off the snap. Shows good first-step quickness and darts into the backfield. Gives offensive tackles trouble with his quickness. Closes quickly as a finisher. Plays with a high effort level, using his play speed to track down plays in pursuit from sideline to sideline. Productive for one of Florida’s top talent-producing programs as a sophomore. Needs to add more pass rush moves to his arsenal as he is primarily winning with speed and effort at this stage.
