ESN PLAYER EVALUATION/NOTES
Dynamic athlete who can score a variety of ways. Set a state record for kick returns for TDs (seven), along with five punt returns for TDs. He also had three interceptions and scored multiple TDs from the running back spot to help River Rouge reach the Division 4 state semifinals. McKinney has offers from Cincinnati and Indiana. “Daraun is a playmaker,” Coach Corey Parker said. “He plays with a lot of confidence and a chip on his shoulder. In open field he’s dangerous because of his ability to stop and start very quickly. Could play on either side of the ball at the next level.
