Mandarin High coach Toby Bullock isn’t afraid to heap praise on Jaime Ffrench. “As far as pure natural catcher, being able to control his body, manipulate his body for the catch, those type of things he’s the best I’ve ever seen,” Bullock said. Ffrench credits his coach for his development. He also says his brothers – who were receivers and defensive backs – for his development. One brother, Maurice Ffrench, set the single-season receptions record at Pitt in 2019. “They always stayed on me,” Ffrench said. “It’s always been like that all the way up. I grew up in it. There are a lot of great receivers out there, but definitely model my game as a Calvin Ridley.” Ffrench, who had 671 yards receiving and five touchdowns as a sophomore, also plays basketball and runs track.

On3 Scouting Report

Savvy, productive receiver who offers scheme versatility and a well-rounded skill set. Measured at 6-foot-0 ⅞, 184 pounds with 32-inch arms and 9.5-inch hands at the On3 Elite Series prior to his senior season. Lines up in the slot and out wide for his high school. Notched 62 catches for 1,247 yards and 14 touchdowns on a state finalist as a junior. Shows wiggle off the line of scrimmage. Adept at attacking the intermediate area of the field. Lethal on back shoulder fades. Has high level body control and is able to twist his body in air while high-pointing the ball. Shows flashes of high-end ball skills, making one-handed grabs in camps and 7-on-7’s. Tests as a solid athlete in the combine setting. Can improve initial burst and play speed. Will need to clean up drops as he can lose focus and catch with improper hand placement at times. Will need to make strides athletically and with consistency to be a true number one wideout long-term, but has a translatable skill set with his ability to attack the intermediate area and should be considered a high floor prospect as a possession target.
