Draft Profile: Bio
Brandon Inniss from American Heritage High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports.

As a sophomore in 2024 he played just 3 games and had only 4 catches for 49 yards for an average of 12.3 yards per catch, with no TDs, and QB rating when targeted of 107.5.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Fits a zone system, can sift through oncoming traffic and explode through tiny creases and cutback lanes. Elite, darting stop-and-go acceleration. Dangerous in the open field.
- Inniss has quick feet and good body control, allowing him to gear down and quickly get in and out of cuts. His hands are good, and he’s a creative runner after the catch with the elusiveness to slip tackles in space.
- Thriving on physicality, he’s a contested-catch specialist with a knack for warding off defenders while the ball is in the air. He has strong hands and the ability to wrestle the ball away from defenders.
- His long arms allow him to play bigger than his size, and Inniss has a frame that can carry a little more weight.
- He has reliable hands and shows the willingness to make catches in traffic over the middle.
- Does a nice job locating and tracking deep passes and is a legitimate vertical threat. Willing to go up and attack the ball.
- Inniss was frequently put in catch-and-run situations, and he shows good vision with the ability to make tacklers miss in space. He’ll also break a tackle or two; he’s extremely competitive and will give effort as a downfield blocker.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Physically, Inniss profiles as a guy who should have success facing the quarterback, but he struggles to gear down and make the necessary sharp cuts to create separation underneath.
- Inniss seems comfortable in traffic to the point where he doesn’t make the effort to create separation.
- He also had problems with drops when coming back to the action. Inniss has some issues against press coverage, sometimes spending too much time hand fighting at the line of scrimmage.
