Brandon Inniss Scouting Summary
Charles Power
04/17/22

Developed, competitive wide receiver who has been on the national radar dating back to middle school. Emerged as a college prospect while playing on varsity as an eighth grader. Possesses a filled-out frame at around 5-foot-11.5, 195 pounds with a 29.75-inch arm. Has a technically advanced skill set with quickness both in his releases and at the top of his routes. Can break off defensive backs with his change of direction. Extremely competitive and embraces matchups with other top prospects. A standout on the camp and 7-on-7 circuit. Tests as a good athlete in the combine setting. Not as productive as some other top receivers as a junior in part due to being forced to play quarterback for part of the season. Rebounded with a very productive senior season, catching 73 passes for 1,336 yards and 15 touchdowns. Lacks length, which naturally limits his catch radius, but has shown strong, reliable hands and the ability to win in contested situations. Fights for yardage after the catch. More of a choppy than smooth mover. Does not appear to have the physical upside of most other top-ranked wide receivers but is a high-floor prospect who should be set up to contribute early in his college career.

Personal Life

American Heritage coach Patrick Surtain knows what it takes to succeed at the highest levels from his time as an NFL star. That’s why it speaks volumes when he gushes about Brandon Inniss’ dedication to winning. The star receiver was thrust into action at quarterback in 2021. But Surtain said Inniss took the move in stride. “He’s a selfless guy,” Surtain said. “He said, ‘Coach, I want to do it.’ [Not] like, ‘Oh, I’m the No. 1 receiver in the country. No, I’m staying at receiver.’ He said, ‘Coach, whatever I’ve got to do for the team, I’m here for.’ He relished that role. He got it and studied. He called me at late hours, ‘Coach, what do I do on this and that?’ That’s what kind of football player he is, and that’s what kind of person he is.” Inniss was committed to Oklahoma at one point in the recruiting process. He plans on majoring in business in college. His parents are Dayne Inniss and Amy Flinton.
