Rock Ya-Sin | CB | Temple

Class | Senior
A one-year starter at Temple, Ya-Sin was a standout at Presbyterian College before making the transfer. Ya-Sin wins the best name award, but is a boundary corner with key-point ball skills, whose rare ball hawk skills standout in this loaded cornerback class.
Tons of press-man and zone coverage at Temple dictated his aggressive opportunities, Ya-Sin is a coordinated athlete for his size. He has the lower body to mirror routes and stay on top of receivers
Even though true straight-line speed didn’t usually show up on tape, through deep routes, Ya-Sin’s short burst, body positioning and twitchy agility helped him stay close to faster wide receivers down the field. Once the ball was thrown, he would locate it and use his length to disrupt the catch point.
Overall, good size, and agility paired with competitive toughness and spatial awareness will make Ya-Sin a starter in a heavy zone-scheme. He’s a pure cover corner who should produce right away, once he can improve in man coverage, tackling, and a few other areas.
