ESN PLAYER EVALUATION/NOTES
Kalen is one of the top defensive back prospects in the 2021 recruiting class. He has been an impact player for Cass Tech the last 3 seasons. He is a strong cover corner that is fundamentally sound and aggressive in press situations. He can shed receivers and has the burst to get to ball carriers on the outside before they get past the line of scrimmage. He breaks well on the ball and has good ball skills. He can challenge big receivers and win on 50/50 balls. He is a huge offensive threat as a receiver on offense. He is a big time player on both sides of the ball. He is a playmaker and has the confidence of a future All-Big 10 DB. Power 5 corner!
