McCall (6-0, 180) can play several positions at the university level, but he is probably a safety or a cornerback, although he said Noles247 that he could also work on the wide receiver. It makes a comparison with the old Alabama security highlight Eddie Jackson by 247Sports, and here’s a full benchmarking report on it from regional analyst Andrew Ivins.
“Just over 6 feet and growing. Adequate length in the arms with some defined muscle. A versatile athlete who has found ways to impact the game in attack, defense and special teams throughout his preparation career. Instincts and breadth suggest, however, that his future is likely to be on the defensive back. He does a good job of feeling the routes around him and is able to take advantage of the mistakes that defenders make. Excellent ball skills also result in lessons. Smooth on the rear pedal with the ability to plant and drive. There is no shortage of foot speed at all. It can mirror opposite pass catchers, although man-covering techniques are still being developed. Willing striker, but this is another area of his game that he can improve. One of the most impressive athletes in the Sunshine State for the 2022 cycle, given the movement patterns. You have the chance to play corner on Power 5 level, but you can emerge as a secure conference type player. Positive side of the NFL. “
He is the second five star in the FSU class of 2022, joining other defenders Travis Hunter.
The Seminoles now have the ninth recruiting class in the country with McCall’s promise. He joins a talented defensive class that is made up of Hunter, a four-star defensive lineman Nyjalik Kellyand defensive end of three stars Aaron Hester.
