Brenden Deasfernandes

Brenden is a big time sleeper in the 2020 recruiting class even though he didn’t start most of the games for Belleville because of their depth at the position. He is a fundamentally sound defensive back that has the versatility to play corner and safety. As a CB, he is tall, has great feet to mirror underneath, and the speed to stay with receivers on vertical routes. He has a nice sense of timing when the ball arrives to get a hand in and break up the pass. As a safety, he showed that he can come up in the box and make tackles. He has good closing speed getting to the football. He recently committed Iowa and is projected as a tall corner. He has a tremendous amount of upside and should have a breakout senior season for the Tigers.
