Safety

Like Cole Bishop, Bode Sparrow is a two-way playmaker on Friday nights with plus ball production and physicality that points to a high upside at safety. Both also have similar size at the same stage. Sparrow was more of a national prospect coming out of high school. 

An exciting two-way, two-sport athlete who could end up on either side of the ball. A dynamic receiver who caught 83 passes for 1,218 yards and 16 touchdowns as a junior. Pure pass catcher, strong hands and explosive after the catch. Projects best at safety and flashes a ton of range, high end instincts and is always around the football. Totaled 16 interceptions over his sophomore and junior seasons and is a threat to bring it back to the house when he gets his hands on it. Can fly off the hash in run support and is a big hitter. Talented basketball player and an all-state point guard as well. At 6-foot-2, 200 pounds, a plus athlete with a high end skill set, Sparrow is on the short list when talking about the best athlete in the country.
