Scouting Journals for Jeadyn Lukus

Smooth moving cornerback with exceptional size for the position. Is among the larger cornerbacks nationally at over 6-foot-2 and 190 pounds. Has outstanding length with arms that measure over 33 inches. Primarily plays in off coverage at the high school level, making his cover skills a bit of a projection. However, has shown quick feet and the ability to flip his hips and transition in camp settings. Is a solid tackler in space. Does not have as much ball production as some other top cornerbacks, but is playing wide receiver some as a senior and looks to have solid ball skills. Lacks recent verified speed but looks to run well on video.

Jeadyn Lukus‘ solid week of practice culminated with a terrific performance in the game. His ability to quickly and fluidly change direction and react to the ball out of breaks is high-end. The ability to smoothly transition without wasted motion was apparent in practice, and the game. He has a feel for staying attached, and finding the ball in the air, and is thus able to play on an island. Lukus also gets his hands in position to finish plays with interceptions with the ability to contort his body. The future Clemson Tiger produced one of the most acrobatic interceptions in the history of the Under Armour All-America Game Sunday, laying out for an incredible high-point grab.
