Draft Profile: Bio
Makari Vickers from Robert F Munroe Day High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. Following high school, Vickers opted to join Oklahoma after being heavily recruited.In 2023 as a freshman Vickers saw action in 7 games and played a total of 61 snaps at cornerback for the Sooners. He recorded just 5 tackles, 4 assists, while adding 2 stops. In coverage Vickers notched up one pass breakup, no interceptions, and a disapointing QB rating when targetted of 122.9.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Vickers can flip his hips and run, with good top-end speed and the length to make plays on the ball.
- Gets an effective jam on the receiver and has loose enough hips to turn and run.
- Stout and feisty. Will engage, shed and securely wrap the ballcarrier. Very fluid hips, backpedal and change-of-direction agility.
- Trusts his eyes with very good awareness. Has very good reaction skills to break quickly on the ball.
- Explodes out of his backpedal and has the hands and coordination to force interceptions.
- Vickers has good size and is a fluid mover, capable of mirroring quickness underneath
- Plays with the natural balance and ultra-quick feet to mirror underneath, and he’s tremendous at reading routes and reading quarterbacks.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Holds the ball loosely. Inconsistent in run support. Average tackler
- Like a lot of collegiate corners, Vickers has a tendency to get grabby, something that will have to be coached out of him.
- Physicality comes and goes when facing the run. Vickers doesn’t show much in the way of take-on skills once he meets a blocker
