SI All-American Candidate Quincy Skinner Jr. Highlights and Evaluation
Prospect: WR Quincy Skinner Jr.
Projected Position: Wide Receiver
Status: SI All-American Candidate
Vitals: 6-foot-1, 175 pounds
School: Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas
Committed to: Vanderbilt
Frame: Well-proportioned. Above-average width across shoulders, chest. Long, sinewy arms. Tightly-wound, developing thighs and trunk. Ample room for additional mass, muscle.
Athleticism: Quick feet in short areas. Makes hard, aggressive cuts, wasting little motion. Above-average long speed with merely adequate burst. Excellent leaper. Innate hand-eye coordination. Functional play strength already, with budding power.
Instincts: Hands catcher. Jump-ball threat who routinely brings in throws that arrive well outside body. Attacks entire field with route tree. Physical, effective blocker in run game. Lacks dynamism as ball-carrier after catch; tough to bring down, but lacks wiggle, creativity to make defenders miss.
Polish: High-level route runner. Attacks leverage of corners while stacking, breaks with decisiveness. Varies release off LOS with quick feet, active hands.
Bottom Line: Skinner is among the most well-rounded receivers in the class of 2021. Long-term ceiling somewhat limited due to middling RAC ability, though strength development could play factor in improving that deficiency. Likely early contributor and multi-year starter, with All-Conference potential.
