Northwestern Cornerback With the Length, Speed and Upside to Track Bigger Receivers
Ryan Black is a Northwestern cornerback prospect whose appeal is more about traits and development curve than box-score production: at 6-foot-1 and around 170 pounds, he brings the kind of frame and range coaches like on the outside, plus experience that includes a stint at Fullerton College before landing at Northwestern. Reliable public game-by-game stats are limited, so the clearest takeaway is his projection: a long, lean defensive back who could fit a man-coverage-heavy scheme if his technique and play strength keep progressing. If your team wants a physical, developmental CB with upside, he’s a name worth watching.
