Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Takes accurate angles to the ballcarrier. A strong, aggressive tackler and doesn't back down against the run.
  • Has a powerful punch at the line of scrimmage and can deliver it while moving his feet. Trice also has the powerful core and hips to stick to a receiver downfield and escort him to the sideline
  • Fluid mover with decent speed and his length allows him to cover effectively downfield
  • Strong hands to make plays on the ball, effective blitzer who shows well-coached technique and awareness.
  • He’ll line up in press at times, where Trice has a quick and powerful punch. His ball skills are good, and he plays with an extremely confident and competitive demeanor.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Despite his size, he’s not an overly physical tackler. Trice might have to add some weight at the next level in order to become more physical.
  • Like a lot of collegiate corners, Trice has a tendency to get grabby, something that will have to be coached out of him.
  • Inconsistent getting off of blocks. Can be a step slow to react when a quarterback comes back to his side of the field late in progression.
  • Has only average long speed and body flexibility.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
