Kyle Parker On3 Scouting Summary
The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Kyle Parker:
“Technical receiver with advanced route-running skills who projects in the slot at the next level. Has measured around 5-foot-10.5, 180 pounds heading into his senior season. Plays in a spread, vertical passing offense at the high school level, but shows lateral agility and route polish to easily project to a complex route tree in college. Wins with quickness and agility in the route and after catch phases.
“Capable of breaking off defensive backs with his change of direction. Picks up yards with the ball in his hands, both after the catch and as a punt returner. Quicker than fast, but can turn in some long gains with the ability to make defenders miss in space. Has strong hands at the catch point and can win in traffic. Not physically imposing in terms of his stature or frame. Younger for the class, turning 17-years old in June prior to his senior season.”
