‘23 NC WR Nathan Leacock (Tennessee)

[VolMack——————$]

Man he’s got the size and knows YAC ! (Yards after catch) He looks thick…I’m not sure about the speed but definitely a position receiver and a YACer

They specifically mention Hobbs and Leacock as players that will see significant bumps in the next update

Can’t believe he isn’t even a 4*’yet, wow that will really help his composite ranking:

He is.
On3 and 247 he absolutely is.

All the sites haven't done their post-season updates yet. He's going to rise a lot on Rivals is what they've said

 

[thunder5]

Bumped to a 5.9 and #93 overall on Rivals...this is up from a 5.7 3*

Yeah that's one of the bigger jumps a UT recruit has gotten on Rivals in recent memory.

Wow

 

[JRVOL11]

wow, this staff sure does finds some gems early on

 

[LittleVol]

First time watching the kids tape.
Also compared his tape to his former teammate Wesley Grimes (2022 4*)
Seem like he went head 2 head with Noah Rogers and his team lost. Leacock only a handful of grabs.

What I see:
- Big kid that is a natural runner- this means he will get faster in college. He's very good after the catch for a 6'2-6'3 type player. Strong lower body. Does have good field speed and can run away once momentum is going. Probably 4.55 guy? But gets faster as he runs. Has run a 10.98 100 meter this season. That speed shows on film once he breaks open in the field.
- Strong hands- plucks it right out of the air.
- More aggressive blocker than his former teammate Wesley Grimes.
- Plays with enthusiasm. He's having fun out there.

Needs work in the routes department.
Needs to tuck the ball away and get up field better (quicker)

Yeah he's a take for sure. Perfect for our offense. because of his yac ability and blocking.
Wouldn't be suprised if gets a 4th star before it's done.

That's a ridiculous stat. I love that this staff identifies talent early and stands firm on their personal evaluations.

Yes! Who else was even looking at him when we started recruiting him?

I don't remember him having any major offers (maybe NC State) at the time we offered.

Can't really think of anyone they backed off of except for Stallings.

That is it this cycle and his situation was very unique with the transfers and not really playing at all.

 

[CO Vol]

My feeling is he will bring big numbers in this offense! When that happens, I’m not sure. Wouldn’t surprise me if it was sooner rather than later. Superb snag by this staff (sts)

His strong rac ability will get him on the field soon. Just like Squirrel White in that you can just throw him a quick pass in the flat and pet let him run.

Strong hands and he's already college ready from a physical standpoint

 

[LittleVol]

Hakeem Nicks ! That's who this kid reminds me of.

Played out of Charlotte Independence HS. Also with the NY Giants
