Bryson Kerns – WR/DB

Scouting Report

Bryson Kerns is very physical and strong with a knack for making big plays while the ball is in the air and after the catch. He has height, good bulk and great speed. He shows flashes of being dominant in all phases. He’s at his best versus man coverage where he can use his speed to run by defenders and is a precise route runner for such a young player. He also does a great job versus cushion — he’s able to get defenders to bite with subtle moves and then run by them. His ability to lower his weight and plant out of the break provides great separation on short-to-intermediate routes. He gets to top speed quickly. He does a good job of dropping his hips and breaking off his routes quickly and coming back to the ball. He is a playmaker in the vertical passing game and has to be accounted for deep at all times. He has very good hands. He catches the ball on the run and over his head. Great leaping ability and will make a lot of plays on jump balls. Also displays excellent body control and sideline awareness. He is explosive as a route runner and if he hits a crease on the run, he has the speed and second gear to win nearly every footrace. Bryson is a polished playmaker and has a natural feel for the game.
