Zion Babb


Zion Babb - 6'0" - 177 lbs - 4.67 - Alhambra, CA
Analysis: Zion Babb is a bit of an enigma, when he first committed, most assumed he'd be brought in as a defensive back, and James Rogers as a receiver, but now it seems the roles have been reversed and Rogers will be a cornerback while Babb seems poised to make his contribution with the ball in his hands. Babb's videos show an extremely explosive player with speed to spare, and great field vision. He repeatedly bursts through the hole and out races the secondary, in one case hurdling a player on his way to the endzone. As well as recieving, Babb has some impressive clips returning kicks. While Zion had some academic trouble during his senior year, everything appears to be resolved. I think Babb will likely redshirt, but once he puts on some more muscle and learns the offense I see him filling the slot receiver role very well, he'd be great as a kick returner and on underneath routes.
