Evaluation

Fileppo is one of the most underrated prospects in this class for West Virginia. The offers, in my opinion, don't match what I see on tape. This kid plays the game fast and physical from the safety position and is a flat-out playmaker.

I am, however, conflicted about where he'll play at WVU, though. While he seems to be a nice fit at safety, I believe he can add a little weight and slide down to linebacker. He doesn't miss many tackles, and solid pass coverage from the linebacker spot is something this defense desperately needs.
