Randon Fontenette On3 Scouting Summary
The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Randon Fontenette:
“Heat-seeking missile that flies downhill and strikes ball carriers with reckless abandon. A two-way star for Brazosport (Texas) High, playing quarterback and safety. Threw for 1,440 yards and 21 touchdowns and also rushed 164 times for 1,066 yards and 12 touchdowns as a junior. Also totaled 32 tackles, 1 tackle for loss and 2 interceptions on the defensive side of the ball. First year playing safety as a junior. Natural alley player that plays with his hair on fire.
“Lacks ideal long speed and can strain when getting sideline to sideline. Quicker than fast. Stands just a shade under 6-foot-2 and weighs 190 pounds. Has elite length with 33.25 inch arms. Explosive upon impact and shows impressive vertical ability on 50-50 balls. Jumped a 20-foot-2 in the long jump during his junior track and field season. Immense upside and relatively low floor. Still learning to play defensive back and could potentially grow into a box player if he adds more mass. Young for the cycle and will not turn 18 until the July prior to his freshman season in college.”
