DezzRicks

Tall, refined corner who stars on one of the most talented defenses in high school football. Has good stature for the position at over 6-foot-1 and 175 pounds heading into his final season. Has average length for his height. Registers as a good athlete in the combine setting. Was a key player on IMG Academy’s talented defense as a sophomore in addition to seeing significant time as a freshman. A smooth mover with advanced technical ability. Battle-tested against top wide receivers both in practice at IMG and in playing a national schedule throughout the fall. At his best as a boundary corner, where he can uses his height and technique to crowd receivers at the catch point. Can improve his twitch when triggering against smaller receivers and in defending in-breaking routes. Also needs to get stronger to aid in progress as a run defender and tackler. Was initially in the 2024 cycle before reclassifying as a 2023 prospect.
