Justin is an electric force on the field, an explosive and dynamic weapon who jumps off the page from the first snap. His game has electric, fierce energy and unmatched versatility. He flows downhill with violent urgency, diagnoses plays with split-second instincts, and hits with a physical presence that echoes across the field.

Justin blends aggression with high-level IQ, creating the perfect mix of speed, effort, and intelligence. What separates him from every other player at his position is the way he controls the game on both sides of the ball. He is a natural playmaker who sees the field like a coach, reacts faster than the offense can adjust, and plays with a fire that ignites everyone around him. Every time he steps on the field, a coach can expect a dog who hunts, disrupts, leads, and refuses to slow down.

This season has been a full-force eruption. Justin has stacked 91 tackles, 22 tackles for loss, 4 forced fumbles, 2 interceptions, 550 plus all-purpose yards, and 7 touchdowns with 2 more called back. Last season, he produced 82 tackles, 2 interceptions, 102 rushing yards, and 1 touchdown. His biggest improvement came from the extra speed he built in the offseason, which unlocked a more dangerous version of his offensive game. Last year, he earned Honorable Mention All-Conference, a moment that lit the spark inside him and pushed him into an entirely new level of work and focus. His goals are to keep improving his speed, dominate every phase of the game, and keep chasing greatness with no hesitation. Coach T fuels that inner fire, placing Justin in positions to make plays and bringing the energy that turns him into a game-changing force.

Pre-snap, Justin uses pure intelligence to gain an edge. He studies play call signs, formations, and tendencies on film, which helps him attack plays before they develop. When facing adversity, he keeps his head down and pushes through because he knows no single moment defines him. He sees himself playing D1 or D2 football and will do anything necessary to reach that level. A coach can expect maximum effort, physicality, discipline, and a player who will make plays every single time he touches the field.

I assess that Justin offers a blend of strength, intelligence, and impact that immediately boosts a college program. His ability to read offenses, explode through gaps, create negative plays, and tilt the field in his team’s favor makes him a weapon on any defense. His two-way ability and natural feel for the game give him versatility that coaches love. Programs that value toughness, instinct, and consistent production will quickly see how valuable Justin is.

Moving forward, Justin is poised for a major rise. His added speed, sharper IQ, and hunger to keep building will continue to elevate his game. He is stepping into a phase where experience, confidence, and physical development collide to create a high-potential athlete. Expect Justin to become the anchor of any defense he joins and a relentless problem for every offense he faces. His ceiling keeps rising, and his future looks powerful. Stay tuned.
