Scouting Journals for Henry Sakalas

Longer framed high school safety who could put on weight and be a backer in college. Comes downhill and supports the run very well. Does a good job of diagnosing and reacting to screens and other short routes and closing on the ball. Will need to add weight and get stronger which will help him take on blocks but he plays the game physically. Has some offensive experience as a receiver and his length and ball skills will be assets in coverage. A hybrid type role could suit him well or it's possible he will pack on the pounds and end up as a SAM. Either way, a school is getting a smart, versatile, physical football player.
