Morgan Trent SELECTED BY: Bengals Round 6 (6)

SI Grade 3.61 GRADING SYSTEM

BIOGRAPHY: Full-time starter the past three years after seeing action in five games with the first team as a freshman. Senior totals included 41/3/5 after 41/2/10 as a junior when he won all-Conference mention.

POSITIVES: Forceful, hard-working defensive back best facing the action. Aggressive, jams opponents at the line, and will mix it up throughout routes. Forceful up the field defending screen passes or running plays, and stays with the action. Displays solid awareness, and effectively reads the action when it is in front of him.

NEGATIVES: Struggles making plays with his back to the ball, and usually a half step behind receivers. Lacks deep speed and does not play to his 40 time. Tends to lose a sense of where he is on the field. Struggles staying with receivers out of their breaks.

ANALYSIS: Trent has been a consistent player for Michigan, and he is a well spoken young man with good size for the next level. His game has some limitations, although Trent could thrive in a zone system, and he may even get consideration inside at safety.

PROJECTION: Third/Fourth Round
