What makes you stand out as a future collegiate athlete?
I work harder and have more heart than anybody you could find, and strive to best the best in the classroom, on the field, and in life.
Deal had close to 100 tackles last season as a junior. He plays at full tilt, and is all out hustle type of player with great metrics on both the academic and athletic side. He is easily one of the biggest sleepers in Georgia, and if you watch his film you will it checks out. He closes on the ball carrier, has good length and is a fundamentally sound tackler. Pursuit angles need some work, but we like how he aggressively gets off his blocks. He also shows some ability as at tight end. If Deal lived at one of the large metro Atlanta high schools he would already have offers, so colleges need to check him out. He can absolutely play at the Div I level.
