School: Kansas City (Mo.) Lincoln College Preparatory Academy

Frame: Long, lean upper body with room to add mass and definition across the overall frame.

Instincts: He displays a high football IQ and has a consistent nose for the football. He takes a few negative steps, which allows him to consistently be in on the play.
Polish: He is a productive player at the high school level that should only improve as he adds weight and definition. He is a sure tackler with sideline to sideline ability, but he has to refine his coverage technique.
Bottom Line: Jermaine Jordan-Hamilton has the requisite length, athleticism, and instincts, but he has to add mass and strength to continue his success on the football field. Jordan-Hamilton possesses a desirable IQ and has a relentless motor that bodes well for his chances of continuing production as his body develops physically. He projects as a Power 5 starter over the course of his college career.
