Jacoby Glenn - University of Central Florida 6'0" 186 lbs
Glenn will be leaving the UCF Knights as a redshirt sophomore. In 2014 he was a key part of a defensive backfield that was ranked among the best in the nation. He finished the year third in the nation in both interceptions with seven and passes defensed with 18. Glenn was named as a second-team All American for his efforts. There is little doubt that Jacoby Glenn has the skills to play at the next level.
In addition to his ball-hawking, Jacoby brings a physical presence to his game. He is a solid tackler who seems to enjoy contact. His main drawback is that he could have used another year of work at the college level to improve his footwork and gain more experience. One additional coaching point is that he plays too tall in his back pedal and in his stance, but that is something that continued coaching will address. Glenn is a raw talent who will only get better with time.
One thing that I was impressed with about Glenn is how explosive he appears to be out of his break. He is also able to flip sides with ease, making him a versatile asset for a team. My belief is that, given some time, Jacoby Glenn is going to develop into one of the top two or three corners out of this draft class but that he would have been much better off initially if he had returned for his junior season at Central Florida.
I think he could be a steal in the later rounds. Might be able to make the switch to FS.
