Mississippi State continues to recruit the state of Georgia hard as
Garry Peters is the latest prospect to pop onto the radar. Take a look
at his evaluation and video to judge for yourself.
Evaluatrion
Peters is a dynamic, quick-footed athlete and a pure playmaker with the
ball in his hands as dual-threat quarterback. Lines up behind center to
get the ball in his team's best player's hands on every snap, but at
the next level we feel this smooth athlete will line up at defensive
back, most likely corner. Has good height on a long, leaner frame that
still has a ton of physical development left. Very high-cut and rangy;
should be able to compete for the jump versus today's taller college
receivers. Displays very fluid, loose hips for his long lower- body and
the ability to stop-start and change direction sharply. Will need to
consistently play with good sink in his hips but should excel in
mirroring receivers in off-man coverages at the next level. Flashes
good speed as well and better than adequate burst to recover quickly
when beat. Will need to polish up technique and show he can set the
edge on run support but the great body control, ball skills and natural
athleticism are there to mold once Peters concentrates on the
fundamentals of cornerback play. Has very good range making safety a
possibility as well if his body continues to fill out to play down in
the box. Offense is not out of the question with his elusiveness and
overall playmaking skills with the football in space. Overall, Peters
may not be overly explosive and his top-end speed could get tested at
the next level, but he is a smooth, composed athlete with great feet
and a lot of natural ability. The key to his future success may be the
ability to add size/strength and adjust to the increased physicality of
the college level. Still should add great versatility and athleticism
to a future roster.
