Draft Scouting Report:

Rating: 77.57 (Chance to start)

Pro Comparison: Decobie Durant

Accolades: 

  • 2022: Third-team All-ACC
  • 2022: Recorded career-high 51 tackles

Summary:

The former Liberty transfer is coming off a 2021 ACL injury, but you wouldn't know it to watch him last season. What Kei'Trel Clark lacks in size (5-10, 179), he makes up for with ... well, everything else. He ran a 4.42 40 at the combine, and he plays that fast on tape. He has the ability to stay in phase on every type of route, is physical at the catch point and uses his hands well early in the rep to reroute quicker/faster wide receivers.

Strengths:

  • Small frame but shows good change of direction in middle of field vs. shifty WRs
  • Has the ability to be physical at catch point and make contested catches difficult
  • Looks every bit a 4.4 player; doesn't panic when he's threatened vertically and has the juice to move laterally vs. in-breaking routes
  • Plays much bigger than his size; not afraid to gap-fill and make wrap-up tackle vs. bigger RBs

Weaknesses:

  • Suffered ACL tear in 2021
  • Will get grabby if he's beat at the stem
  • Undersized physically even though he plays bigger than that

Combine Results:

  • 40-Yard Dash: 4.42 seconds
  • Vertical: 34.5 inches
  • Broad Jump: 10 feet, 2 inches
  • Shuttle Run: 4.21 seconds
