ESN PLAYER EVALUATION/NOTES
Dynamic talent who could play RB, slot WR, or CB at next level. Rushed 67 times for 618 yards and 7 TDs and caught 10 passes for another 132 and 1 TD. Also served some time as team’s kicker hitting 7-of-9 PATs and his only FG attempt. Excellent speed. 40 times listed at 4.58. Accelerates quickly and is hard to catch. Good receiver who will need some work with route running but has soft hands and can run after the catch. He is small but is a weapon if used correctly. Only returned one punt but could be used in return game.
Postseason Honors/Statistics/Other NOTES
Redd only played a few games for the Leopards this fall before undergoing season-ending surgery — something he tweeted out Sept. 29. In three games available on MaxPreps, the 5-foot-8, 170-pounder made 24 tackles, including 14 of the solo variety and intercepted a pass against Taylorsville.
This was Redd’s only season at East (UT). He grew up in California and attended Sierra High, which is located in Manteca. As a junior running back for the Timberwolves, Redd rushed for 618 yards and seven touchdowns on just 67 carries in seven games. He also caught 10 passes for 132 yards and one TD.
