Like Cam Hart, Hayden Stepp is a taller corner with length and good athleticism. Stepp is more of a national prospect at the same stage, while Hart was heavier and considered a wide receiver coming out of high school. 

Stepp will be a rare four-year starter for one of the nation’s true power programs. Boats a long, athletic frame pushing 6-foot-4 and can smother opposing receivers at the line of scrimmage. Shows rare combination of length and athleticism as well as natural cover instincts. Not a great track record in terms NFL draft success for corners over 6-foot-2 but Stepp is the rare long corner with quick feet and can change direction. He can plan and drive and shows a real burst getting in and out of his breaks. Plays like a shorter corner in terms of athleticism but has a nice edge in his game and has a physical presence to him. Tackles well in space, can bully opposing receivers in press and is physical at the catch point. A high IQ player with excellent football sense and feel and could play some safety because of his positional versatility. Projects as an easy high Power 4 prospect with an NFL ceiling.
