Christian Askew brings size, range, and ball production to Penn State’s secondary
Askew is a long, rangy defensive back prospect who earned all-region honors at Veterans High School and piled up 48 tackles, 15 pass breakups, two interceptions, two forced fumbles, and a defensive touchdown as a junior, which shows real playmaking impact, not just cleanup stats.[1][6] At 6-foot-4, he offers uncommon length for the secondary and has enough athletic profile to project as a versatile defensive back, with Penn State initially listing him as a safety while also getting early cornerback reps.[2][6] If you want upside, coverage range, and a player who can disrupt throws at the catch point, he fits the bill.[1][6]
