Jordan Castell

Versatile defender who can cover in the boundary, line up over the slot or even bang in the box with the front seven. Lines up as a corner for his high school but has the size and frame to project at safety long-term. Stands in right around 6-foot-2, 200 pounds with nearly a 6-foot-5 wingspan. Tremendous frame with excellent muscle definition. Built like a linebacker. Seamlessly eats up yards with his stride length. Ran a 17.44 in the 110m High Hurdles during his junior track season. Has the hip fluidity and footwork for press man coverage. Lacks ideal range and twitch to play over the top or at field corner. Needs to have a defined role at the next level in order to fully implement his skill set. Best fit is a walk down safety who can cover jumbo slots, tight ends or carry running backs out of the backfield. One of the older prospects in the 2023 recruiting cycle.
