Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Latu has strong hands and is extremely competitive, and Latu has an innate sense of timing when it comes to elevating and high-pointing balls.
  • Good burst off the snap, quick hands and good balance to gain a clean release.
  • Good strength and effort to run through arm tackles.
  • Latu has a tapered build and strong hands, ripping the ball back with ease when defensive backs manage to get a hold of it.
  • A lean athlete with obvious upside. Soft hands. Flashes the ability to make the outstanding catch.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • He’ll have to develop a better feel for sitting down against zone coverage.
  • He’s a work in progress as a blocker, often playing too high and getting overpowered at the point of attack.
  • Struggles tracking the ball over his shoulder.
  • Latu really isn’t a guy who will create a lot of separation.
