Malik Muhammad Scouting Summary
Charles Power
04/15/22

Instinctive corner with coverage versatility. Has good polish and the ability to cover both outside and in the slot. Draws on his background as a wide receiver to make plays on the ball in coverage. Measured at around 5-foot-11, 180 pounds with a 6-foot-3 wing-span prior to his senior season. Registers as a solid athlete, running an electronically-timed 4.61 40-yard dash in 2021 along with a 43+ foot long jump in track and field. A natural corner who makes plays at a high rate when targeted on Friday nights and in neutral settings. Has an innate feel and spatial awareness. Showed signs of improved physicality later in his high school career. Helped his high school team win back-to-back state titles as a junior and senior. Does not have overwhelming physical traits but polish and instincts along with positional versatility point to a high floor.

Muhammad transferred back home to the Dallas area and South Oak Cliff High School after playing his sophomore season at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. “I came back because I realized that I could do the same thing that I did at IMG here at South Oak Cliff,” Muhammad told Dave Campbell’s Texas Football. “I want to do it for the hood, for South Oak Cliff.” Muhammad is the third-oldest sibling of nine and one of only three boys. His mother is Nimat Abdullah. Muhammad plans on majoring in international business. He lists his hobbies as music, basketball and movies.
