Cole Cabana On3 Scouting Summary
The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Cole Cabana:
“Electric playmaker with the ball in his hands who lived in the endzone during his junior season. Scored 28 total touchdowns with nearly 2,200 all-purpose yards during his junior campaign. Top-end speed is top tier. Terrific sprinter who ran 6.43 in the 55m, 6.82 in the 60m and a blistering 10.55 100m during his junior track and field season. Excellent wiggle and change of direction. Plays with a low center of gravity and tremendous field vision. Quality pass catcher who should be effective in the passing game at the next level.
“Build is lean now but should add solid muscle mass as he works in a collegiate strength and conditioning program. Never going to be a bruiser but plays physically. Terrific all-around skillset who has the chance to fill an immediate change-of-pace role early at the next level and potentially be the workhorse down the line. NFL potential is capped due to size, but still has NFL upside.”
