Moe Ways and the jam

I was watching Moe Ways senior highlights and I like what I see. Size, speed, hands, balance. He high points and has an extra gear. Thers few clips of blocking, but whats there looks competent. The question I have is; he always gets free release behind the D. Has anyone seen him deal with an MSU style jam? He's got the size to beat a corner, but does anyone know if he can/does?

No one is going to jam an

No one is going to jam an elite athlete at receiver (actually, hardly anyone jams at all) in high school unless you have a really great talent at CB yourself. Even in those cases you see on their film that they end up lining up like 8 yards off of the ball anyways. I didn't watch him in high school, but I think it's pretty safe to say no. I'm not sure what made you single out Ways, but this will be true for pretty much anyone coming into college.

Just watching the highlights and realized it. Never thought about it but I guess you're right that people dont jam in hs.

Nobody plays MSU-style

Nobody plays MSU-style defense in high school, especially against teams with receivers like Ways - because if he beats the jam, most teams don't have safeties who can help over the top. What I've seen most teams do to a great receiver is run a weak cloud defense, walk a linebacker out to cover the short zone, and put a corner over the top in a deep third.

Maybe

Maybe they should have tried jamming because if there was supposed to be safties over the top, they weren't very effective, dude was wide open on most of those highlights.

I know you're right, just think it's kind of pointless to evaluate when the reality is that elite level highschool talent is pretty much going to beat sorry defense no matter what they run out there.

To me, Ways looks like a big, pretty athletic, pretty fast receiver.  That's good enough for me, hope he does great things for Michigan.

Moe Ways is jacked at 6'4 and 200+

Im not saying that all it takes is size, but I dont see him having much trouble getting off the line.

Ways is hugely underrated.

Ways is hugely underrated.  He improved a ton between his junior and senior years.  He's very thick for a hs receiver and is faster than I remember him being when I first heard of him.  The recruiting services clearly didn't keep track of him, or more likely are just being their usual stubborn selves.  Don't be surprised if this guy turns out to be better than Harris.  It's gonna be a battle for that #1 jersey (Nevermind, NOT GOOD ENOUGH).

Does anyone jam in HS on a D1 receiver?

I did like this thought because I hadn't seen his film before. He does seem to have at least Drake Harris speed and is a good sized receiver already.

The answer...

No. Especially not against the competition he plays against at Country Day. Class B school who plays a tough schedule, yet they play against solid 'teams' and very few elite athletes. If someone presses him the last two seasons then they were not very wise.

I had not watched any of his film.

I have now.
Wow.
Catches with his hands, good in traffic. Appears to have great body control. Fast? Maybe, but definitely fast enough. Big. Dude kept wanting to chest bump and the only ones not to get pushed back were his ol.

He looks like a beast.
