HIGHLIGHTS
ANALYSIS
Sean O’Connell, UMGoBlog.com: “Pretty good looking corner prospect. Has a very nice back pedal and nice fluid hips. Blake also does a nice job in run support as well. He does a nice job of shedding blockers and is a good tackler. He will need a redshirt year in order to fill out his frame, but he has the abilities to be a solid corner.
Barry Every, Rivals.com: “Corner is the most difficult defensive position to have an early impact. Look for a redshirt season followed by a season of special teams and nickel/dime packages. Countess should become a very good two-year starter.”
Scott Kennedy, Scout.com: “A strong, hard hitting defensive back, Countess does a good job of jamming his receiver at the line of scrimmage. Flips his hips well to run with a receiver. An asset in the run game because of his willingness to make a hit. Size and skill set of a cornerback with the mentality of a safety. Comes out of his breaks and closes on the ball very well. Not the biggest DB on the field, but usually one of the toughest.”
Scout Inc., ESPN.com: “Countess is not elite in one particular area but is very well-rounded, reliable and consistent. Brings some intangibles to the position and should fit into a number of defensive schemes at the next level.”
