Scouting 2019 Michigan commit S/Viper Joey Velazquez

If there was one word to describe new safety/Viper commit Joey Velazquez, it’d be versatile. Velazquez is not only a 3-star football prospect, but also a stud baseball player as well who has top three round draft potential.

But this versatility extends to football as well. Running the ball, catching passes, gunning down the field on kickoffs, defending the run, covering passes, lining up in the slot, playing back deep or rolled up near the line of scrimmage, Velazquez shows it all on his tape.

Many of this versatility stems from the fact that Velazquez does not have a good positional fit in high school.
