Recruit Breakdown Pt. 1

AD Adelabu is a 6’5”, 320-pound offensive tackle who demonstrates excellent leg drive and consistently finishes defenders. He possesses prototypical size for the position and shows the athleticism needed to pull and make blocks downfield. In high school, he also played defensive end, where he proved effective as a pass rusher and used his long arms to deflect both field goals and passes. A three-star prospect, he received offers from Army, Fresno State, and Navy.

Lucius Anderson is a 6’2”, 200-pound wide receiver with great height and reliable hands. He is very shifty after the catch, showing the ability to break tackles and use a strong stiff-arm to gain extra yardage. His vision and cutback abilities allow him to find open lanes, and he has the skill to disengage from a cornerback at the last second to create separation.

Brady Carson is a 6’1”, 200-pound safety who excelled as a two-way player at the high school level, contributing both as a safety and as a quarterback. He rushed for over 1,400 yards, displaying impressive speed, power, and balance with the ball in his hands. On defense, he shows a strong feel for coverages and possesses good ball skills. Given his offensive background, he could also be an intriguing option to run wildcat quarterback plays at the next level.

Hutch Chipman is a 6’4”, 235-pound tight end who plays in the mold of Jimmy Graham, with the versatility to line up both at tight end and wide receiver. He has a knack for finding holes in zone coverages and was nearly impossible for smaller defensive backs to bring down, consistently racking up yards after the catch. With his combination of height and strong hands, he is highly effective at securing contested catches.

Xavier Coleman is a 6’2”, 238-pound defensive end who shows strong hand usage to disengage from blockers and make plays. He has solid speed that allows him to chase down plays from the backside and can quickly collapse the pocket as a pass rusher. Against the run, he is powerful enough to push around offensive tackles and disrupt plays at the line of scrimmage. His overall skill set is comparable to that of former outside linebacker Brian Abraham.
