Film review:
Returning kicks, Tarence is a smooth runner who knows how to set-up his blocks and also is adept at using what we in rugby call a "swerve" to create space for himself. He is certainly not the fastest guy in the world but seems to have adequate speed...just not game-breaking speed.
On defense, all the clips show Tarence playing soft coverage from the CB spot. Again, his lack of speed may not allow him to play CB at the next level, but with his ability to read plays and make some solid hits, I could definitely see a safety prospect.
On offense, Tarence is not afraid to go over the middle and make the tough catch. He is not the kind of kid who can turn any ball into a TD, but he is going to make the catches he should make and move the chains. He shows great hands and the ability to once again set-up his downfield blockers nicely.
Overall...it is not hard to see why he is a DI prospect. Will Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio State and USC come through with offers? That probably depends on how he does this Fall. But it is not hard to see why some good programs like Tennessee, Kansas and Oklahoma State have offered. This is the kind of kid who looks like he could go off to college a bit unheralded and leave as a solid performer if not a guy who will be playing on Sundays. He would make a fine college safety or slot WR.
