Texas Practice Report: Dia Bell's Deep Ball, Kobe Black's Rise and O-Line Shuffle

Reggie Rogers has seen some talented players during his coaching career, especially in his time at Marrero (Louisiana) John Ehret. So, it speaks volumes when he gushes about Wardell Mack. “We use Wardell all over because he is such a dynamic athlete,” Rogers told NOLA.com. “We just let him play and make plays. He’s one of those athletes that’s effortless in everything he does. He makes coaches look a lot smarter.” Mack plays receiver, cornerback and special teams for Ehret and has accumulated more than 1,000 yards of total offense through his junior and sophomore seasons. He also had 55 tackles and four interceptions in 2021. Along with his playmaking ability, Mack has 33-inch arms and “outstanding length.”

Wardell Mack's length and positional versatility on the back end remind us of Martin Emerson. Mack is a more fluid athlete at the same stage, while Emerson was a bit taller and heavier.

Starter-caliber traits for a Power 4 program (SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, ACC). Squarely on major-conference radars.

Power 4 Prospect

Blue-chip traits — a high-priority Power 4 target with the tools to contribute early at the highest level.

Blue Chip

The top of the scale — national-caliber talent that every major program pursues, with a clear NFL trajectory.

Elite / Top 100

Smooth moving defensive back with the length and playmaking ability to make an impact as a cornerback or safety. Measured in at around 6-foot-0.5, 170 pounds prior to his senior season. Has elite length for the position with arms that measure 33.75 inches. Shows the ability to stick with receivers, using his length and movement skills to stay in-phase. Physical in press coverage, using his length to reroute receivers at the line of scrimmage. Shows loose hips and is fluid when changing directions. Has refined footwork with a very smooth backpedal in the camp setting. A willing downhill defender, not scared of contact or being physical as a tackler. Shows solid top-end speed, but not look to be top-tier in that regard. Ball skills are good not great, as he does not look to be the most natural pass catcher. Is still comfortable playing the ball at the catch point, getting his hands on the football. Viewed as a high floor prospect who could see an immediate role as a nickel corner at the next level and eventually developing into a field corner. Relatively young for the class, turning 18 in April of his senior year of high school.
