Khairi Fortt Evaluation


Heres an Eval I did of Khairi Fortt. Amazing player overall

Khairi Fortt-

 

As Penn State’s most celebrated prospect, I will be evaluating exactly what makes Khairi better than the rest of the linebackers in the nation. From the first play on his game tape, Khairi impressed the most with his burst through the offensive line. He was able to get into the backfield and at the quarterback before he could even look downfield. The tantalizing combination of quickness and strength helps make almost all of the plays Khairi is in on. Fortt possess great instinct but in the plays that his instinct is wrong and leaves puts his body one step behind the runner. This would be an issue for most inside linebackers, but Fortt just turns to another gear and gets right back on the play. Even though his duties at Penn State through the years will be mostly as in blitz package because of his superior play, he possesses the uncanny ability as an ILB to cover tight ends around the field and clog up the middle of the field for slot receivers. In the very conservative play of the Big Ten, this characteristic will be essential to the successfulness of both Fortt’s play but the Nittany Lion’s defense as a whole. One of the most sought after traits colleges look for in a linebacker is the ability to be blocked, then in an instant, shed the block and make the quick tackle. This feature was used many times in this game film which impressed me the most. Of course it helps to be a running back on the other side of the ball as well. If Khairi Fortt can work to his potential during his tenure at Penn State, there is no doubt that we will soon see him at the top of draft boards all over the country.

True

I know but he is absolutely unstoppable in blitz packages. Reminds me alot of Dan Connor with his quick burst and his ability to step back and process the D

As Penn State’s most celebrated prospect, I will be evaluating exactly what makes Joe Paterno’s glasses better than the rest of the linebackers in the nation. From the first play on his game tape, Joe Paterno’s glasses impressed the most with their burst through the line at walmart. He was able to get into the backfield and at the quarterback before he could even look downfield. The tantalizing combination of quickness and strength helps make almost all of the plays the glasses are in on. Joe Paterno’s glasses possess great instinct but in the plays that his instinct is wrong and leaves puts his body one step behind the runner. This would be an issue for most inside linebackers, but Joe Paterno’s glasses just turns to another gear and gets right back on the play. Even though his duties at Penn State through the years will be mostly as in blitz package because of his superior play, he possesses the uncanny ability as an ILB to cover three wolf T-shirts around the field and clog up the middle of the field for fun. In the very conservative play of the Big Ten, this characteristic will be essential to the successfulness of both the glasses’ play but the Nittany Lion’s defense as a whole. One of the most sought after traits colleges look for in a linebacker is the ability to be blocked, then in an instant, shed the block and make the quick tackle. This feature was used many times in this game film which impressed me the most. Of course it helps to be a running back on the other side of the ball as well. If Joe Paterno’s glasses can work to their potential during their tenure at Penn State, there is no doubt that we will soon see him at the top of many statues all over the country.
