Mekhi Butler

What the tape shows

True Freshman CB who is polished in his technique. He flies out of his break and causes him to miss some tackles from not being in control but that is much easier to teach than the mentality, and acceleration that he has. In Press he consistently is patient and stays square but did see him get beat for a big catch vs Wagner from opening the gate. Came back that same game and made a great PBU on the same route with perfect technique. Stays square in Off-man coverage which is a sign of confidence and allows him to get out of his breaks quickly. Has things to clean up as all players do but this is one of the most polished true freshman corners you will see.
