Here’s a snippet from his full recruiting profile.
OVERVIEW
The recruiting highlight video site HUDL lists Daniel Cobb’s Forty time at 4.30. That’s probably a little inaccurate but I’m sure an official laser-measured time would be pretty darn close. Cobb is a burner on the football field. He’s just a difficult player to track down and tackle. Defenses and coverage teams have a difficult time getting aligned off the snap before Cobb hits the edge. If he gains position, more often than not he’s as good as gone. Most importantly, opposing players know he’s lightning quick causing them to hesitate before trying to make contact. At that point Cobb’s already won the mental battle and his legs and flexible hips to the rest. Overall this is just an extremely dynamic, dangerous football player for any team.
OUTLOOK
As mentioned, Cobb translates to a slot receiver for the Bearcats but I wouldn’t be surprised if the coaches tried him out at kickoff or punt returner where his raw speed would really be put to use. If he doesn’t earn a starting or rotational spot, a redshirt is in order where he can spend a little time in the weight room to bulk up. Either way, this is yet another player the coaches have added to greatly improve UC’s speed in the coming years.
