Bo Scarbrough, Alabama
Game Film Evaluated:
Clemson (2017)
Georgia (2018)
Florida State (2017)
Fresno State (2017)
Analysis: Has the look of a LB and a big one at that. Taller frame than ideal for the position. Extremely powerful in the lower body, he excels at getting yards after contact but not because he breaks tackles. He just keeps his legs moving and consistently gains multiple yards after the defender wraps him up. Not a quick lateral back or someone who is shifty in close quarters. He has good straight line speed. Solid hands out of the backfield and can make the difficult catch. Below average vision, runs up the backs of his offensive line too often. He doesn’t run to daylight, might be result of coaches insisting him to run where it is designed. Solid pass protector showcasing solid footwork and good strength to absorb contact and prevent defenders from pushing him into the pocket. Flashed a good jump cut vs Fresno State but did not come up consistently. He is able to break tackles when he uses his free hand on defenders but often he is focused more on protecting the ball.
Summary: Bo Scarbrough is a plus athlete similar to former Alabama back Derrick Henry. He is physically imposing and runs a violent high style that dishes out a lot of contact on defenders. However he is not overly quick, shifty or someone who can make much out of nothing. He can create a big play when blocked up well for him but that can be true for any pro prospect. However he is an adequate receiver out of the backfield and plus pass protector for the QB. He may never be a starter at the next level but a fine rotational back especially for a team that likes to run power football. 4th round grade.
