On to the Goal

Andre Debose is reporting to Gainesville for Summer A in a few days and the Gators picked up a commitment from 2010 recruit Solomon Patton earlier this week. But let’s be honest, you can never have enough The Next Percy Harvins.

After signing Debose, do you think that Meyer just leaned back, kicked up his feet and lit a cigar? Hell no! He was immediately back out on the road from Pahokee to Pago Pago looking for more The Next Percy Harvins. That’s what winners do.

So in this week’s edition of Thursday Recrootin’ Roundup, we focus on a 2026 receiver prospect that could be The Next Percy Harvin: Da Next Percy Harvin. Here’s his highlight reel:

Analysis and Scouting Report

Strengths: Shorter than scouts would like, but has a lean, compact build … Is expected to grow … Size makes him elusive in traffic, tacklers often forced to bend over to reach him … Good hands … Able to track and adjust to balls in flight … Quickly opens up hips to transition from bench route to quick curl … Demonstrates strong ability to recite own name and age on-demand.

Weaknesses: Looks shorter on film than his listed 3′2″ … Many of his plays on offense were slip-screens and quick passes with no defenders within frame … Could struggle making transition from neighborhood barbecue to Division I … Tendency to catch balls with his body instead of his hands … Character concerns … Tendency to look at the camera and grin after making a catch instead of turning upfield for additional yardage … In pre-school received a timeout after stealing a Thomas the Tank Engine from classmate … Missed time in 2008 due to a skinned knee and colic.
