Draft Profile: Bio
Cormani McClain from Lakeland High School was rated a 5-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 5-star grade by 247 Sports. Following high school, McClain opted to join Colorado after being heavily recruited.In 2023 as a freshman McClain saw action in 9 games and played a total of 277 snaps at cornerback for the Buffaloes. He recorded 12 tackles, 3 assists, while adding 3 stops. In coverage McClain notched up one pass breakup, no interceptions, and QB rating when targetted of 114.2.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Trusts his eyes with very good awareness. Has very good reaction skills to break quickly on the ball.
- Has a nice blend of length, speed, and quickness. He’s at his best mirroring routes underneath, showing fluid movement skills and the ability to change directions on a dime.
- Can track the ball downfield and gets his head around when playing in a trail position, and McClain shows excellent ball skills when breaking on a route. He’s a plus tackler in run support as well.
- Can get up on the line of scrimmage and deliver a solid punch early in routes, then use that quickness to shadow, or back off and close quickly when the ball comes out
- McClain has the straight-line speed to recover. His ball skills are tremendous, with good hands and the potential to take it to the house any time he gets his hands on the ball.
- Top-end speed is good and is capable of turning and running in press coverage. McClain also shows good instincts when sitting back in zone and looking into the backfield.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Too often gives too much of a cushion while playing off his man, and it becomes especially problematic since he’s not a particularly willing tackler.
- Grab-and-drag tackler who will struggle to make plays against running backs, and he’ll be susceptible to some catch-and-run plays against bigger receivers.
- Much better in coverage than McClain is in run support.
