Name: Tamarick Vanover Jr
School: Morehouse
Position: WR/PR
Height: 5’9″
Weight: 175
Q: What goals did you accomplish heading into your final collegiate season?
I helped lead my team and school to one of the best seasons we’ve had in a long time and I was one of my team’s top receivers in receptions/yards.
Q: What would your coaches say about the type of player you are?
They would say I’m easy to coach because I’m a fast learner and a respectful person. They would also say I am an instinctual player because I feel like football comes naturally to me.
Q: When you are studying film, what do you focus on to improve your game?
I focus on tendencies of opposing players so that I can be a step ahead of them at all times. I also study play calls for certain downs and distances.
Q: What separates you from the other players at your position?
My ability to read coverages from the pre-snap and using that to determine how I should run my route in order to get open for the quarterback, and the way I can check my surroundings for anyone coming down fast or untouched while a punt is in the air and still track the ball.
Q: How will you train and prepare this offseason for the draft or other pro opportunities?
Whenever I’m not at Morehouse working out, I’ll be in Gainesville, Florida working out at NUMA Speed.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
I always do the right things off the field. I have a very strong work ethic, Intelligence of the game, and I’m also very athletic so I can get out and pull, reach defenders on plays like outside zone, and get up to the second level which I feel like some players just cant do.
Q: What is your final pitch or sell to NFL and other pro league scouts?
Being a professional football player has always been my dream and if given the opportunity I would take full advantage, because not everyone gets a chance, especially coming from a small school. Teams will never see anyone work harder than me and I feel like when it’s all said and done I could be one of the best football players in whatever league gives me a chance.
