Jarrell Chandler

Big-framed two-way athlete who projects as a big safety with the potential to grow into a linebacker. Measured in at 6-foot-2, 205 pounds with solid length and 10-inch hands prior to his senior season. Strong overall football player on Friday nights, making big plays as a safety and wide receiver. Primarily lines up covering the slot on defense, but will move around depending on matchups. Projects as a plus run defender. A physical presence when operating in the flats. Diagnoses, breaks down in space, and closes quickly. Quality form tackler and finishes with authority. Also sticky in coverage. Has fluid movement skills and the ability to redirect in coverage. Has fared well in 1-on-1 matchups against Power 4 pass-catchers on Friday nights. Finds a way to be around the football. Makes high-end grabs, with interceptions as a defender and contested catches as wide receiver, showing top notch ball skills. The coordination he shows as a receiver bodes well when projecting the ability to play the ball in-air on defense. Finished his junior season with 94 tackles, 6 tackles for loss, 1 interception and three forced fumbles on defense along with 42 catches for 691 yards and seven touchdowns on offense. Has posted an 11.37 second mark in the 100 meters along with a 6-2 foot high jump in track and field. Will be interesting to see where he ends up size-wise given his larger frame, but has the skill set to be a defensive playmaker regardless of which position he ends up playing.
