Raylaun Henry's combination of length and polish reminds us of Shaun Wade at the same stage. Both were national prospects who were battle tested entering college. Wade had more ball production at the same stage. 

 Outside corner with elite length. Measured at around 6-foot-0.5, 180 pounds prior to his senior season. Has elite length with arms that measure around 34 inches. Mans a corner spot for one of the better high school teams in the United States. Polished and developed with his footwork. Capable of mirroring receivers and reading routes. Uses his length to make plays on the ball at the catch point. Showed well in national all-star games coming out of his senior season. That, combined with his experience against national competition on Friday nights gives him an advanced level of seasoning. Not tested often and lacks the ball production of other top corners. More of a straightline athlete and can improve his hands as a one-way player. Older for the cycle and will turn 20 years old during his true freshman season. Projects as a high floor prospect who could push for early playing time given his physical maturity, experience, and length.
