Emmanwori did upped his value

South Carolina DB Nick Emmanwori​

Quite simply, you really can’t perform better at the Combine than Emmanwori did. If you want to know what it means to maximize a 6-3, 220-pound frame, well, this is it (he actually had a 4.38-second 40 officially):

South Carolina S Nick Emmanwori

HT: 6-3 1/8 (97th percentile)
WT: 220lbs (92nd percentile)
Vert: 43 (98th percentile)
Broad: 11-6 (98th percentile)
40-yard: 4.40 (94th percentile)

Emmanwori isn’t just a physical freak. The All-American was a major reason why South Carolina’s defense turned around this year, and he’s been a key piece of that unit since he was a true freshman starter at safety. It’s silly to think that a 6-3, 220-pound safety who runs a 4.40 with a 43-inch vertical also had 244 career tackles and 17 passes defensed. In a time when the safety position feels like it continues to be devalued in the Draft, perhaps it’s a rare talent like Emmanwori who can get that group back into those Round-1 conversations.

People may not like how he left…but seeing our guys dominate at the combine is a really good thing for recruiting…especially when it comes to the portal (I know he wasn’t a portal guy). And seeing a guy like Juice leave and tank doesn’t hurt either. Juice might have made some $$ leaving, but it likely cost him in the end.

Portal game is still young, and people are still figuring it out. That being said, we’re starting to develop a reputation of a team that will help elevate talent and perform well.
