Scouting Notes
WHAT THE TAPE SHOWS.
PRE-SNAP RECOGNITION
The best plays happen before the ball is snapped. Justin studies formation tendencies, personnel groupings, and motion shifts to put himself in the right position before the play develops. His pre-snap process is what separates him from athletes who just react.
ZONE VS MAN VERSATILITY
Whether it's single-high, two-high, or pressed man coverage, Justin's technique adapts. His hip fluidity and transition speed allow him to play multiple coverage shells without tipping the call — a premium trait at the next level.
TACKLING IN SPACE
Open-field tackling is where safeties are made or broken. Justin's approach angle, leverage, and wrap technique result in a high tackle efficiency rate. He doesn't miss arm tackles. He finishes.

The Philosophy
"THE GAME IS WON
IN THE FILM ROOM."
Every opponent is studied. Every tendency is logged. Every play is prepared for before it happens. That's not extra work — that's the standard.
