Mario Buford Scouting Summary
Cody Bellaire
08/18/22

Lengthy corner prospect who can pin down receivers and play the ball in the air as good as anyone in the country. Stands in at 5-foot-11.5, 165 pounds with an impressive 6-foot-3.5 wingspan. Jumped a 30-inch vertical and nearly a 10-foot broad jump during the spring camp circuit prior to his junior season. Ran a 23.85 200m and jumped a 20-foot-4 long jump during his freshman track and field season. Projects to boundary corner due to his length and physicality. Has the frame to fill out nicely at the next level. Brother is current Nebraska cornerback, Marques Buford.
