I think Ryan Mack is easily the better player between him and Romanas Frederique right now. I think Frederique is going to have to develop early on, likely punting on his true freshman season, to truly get ready to play the cornerback position.
He has freaky athletic traits and huge potential thanks to his ball skills and length, but you can tell there is an adjustment going from a lowly Deerfield Beach team to the bright lights of St. Thomas Aquinas. I really think he might be a better fit for a Nickel role or turn into a safety. He has the size, physicality & versatility to make the move.
Mack is really underrated for me. I know fans see him more of a lightning Rod prospect that is helping bring in fellow teammates and Purple Machone products, but with his sun-11 speed, patience in coverage & solid hand placement mixed with a willingness to come up and play the run shows me he could fight for a depth role early on. He’s physically filled out now, too. Love this pick up and I think he could be a riser in the rankings, potentially back into the blue-chip ranks by the end of season.
