ESN PLAYER EVALUATION/NOTES
Cornell is arguably the best linebacker in Michigan for the 2020 recruiting class. He is an explosive hitter that really bends and runs through ball carriers. He has the burst, speed, quickness , and agility to close on the football no matter where on the field. He is elusive in the box to avoid blockers but has the strength to take them on and shed. He is great dropping back into coverage and can run with all underneath routes and seams over the middle. This is what makes him ELITE! He is slightly undersized as a MLB, but is the total package outside of an inch or two in the height department. Power 5 and regional prospect.
