Jordan Pride

A bigger framed safety prospect with a multi-sport background that has impacted the game in all three phases on Friday nights. Excels at flowing downhill towards the line of scrimmage and meeting ball carries either in the hole or in the open field. Started prep career off at Blountstown where he faced a lower level of competition. Spent a few months at IMG Academy and got varsity snaps with the Ascenders before electing to return back home. While at the national powerhouse flashed plenty of range on the backend and was able to use his longer reach to eliminate throwing windows. Quick to read and diagnose. Understands how to play angles and has the footspeed to close most gaps. Face-up tackler that can wrangle larger players to the ground. Should only get more effective in the box once lifting in a college weight room. Has the makeup of a potential ace on special teams given how he runs and sifts through traffic. Overall, should be viewed as a future impact player in the back seven for a Power Five program given what he has put on tape. Will need to keep progressing, but size and athletic markers (state placer in both the 100 and high jump as a sophomore) are very encouraging. Could thrive in a single-high look at the next level where he can roam over the top.
