Joenel Aguero Scouting Summary
Charles Power
04/08/22

Head-hunting, twitched-up safety who is arguably the biggest hitter in the 2023 cycle. Delivers crushing blows over the middle of the field. Explodes into ball carriers and receivers. A top athlete who tests very well in the combine setting. Ran a 4.48 electronically-timed 40-yard dash prior to his junior season. Was considered the top athlete on the loaded IMG Academy defense as a junior. At his best when he can use his athleticism and physicality to play fast and move forward as a cover down defender. More of a strong safety type at this stage. Not overly long with sub 31-inch arms and may not have much more room for growth on his 5-foot-11 frame. Will need to continue developing his man coverage skills. Flashed some two-way playmaking ability as a senior after transferring home to St. John's Prep, where he saw some time on offense.
