D'anton Lynn: Underrated?

Penn St got a good one from the state of Texas. I believe he is better than the experts think.

D'anton Lynn was originally from the state of Florida and moved to Texas and attends Celina HS (Celina, TX). The 6-1, 180 lb safety prospect has recently committed to Penn State. He chose PSU over Oklahoma, Florida, USC and Ohio St. Here is how the big boys rank him:

Rivals: #30 safety, #34 in state of Texas (3-star)
Scout: #17 safety (4-star, but they hand those out like Hargrave Military Academy hands out diplomas)
ESPN: #8 safety

Much of Lynn's success will be derived from the system with which he is used. His strengths lie in his attacking style of play. He is lightning quick once he diagnosis the play and when he gets to the ball he announces it. He is a very physical player and can cover sideline to sideline. He was used in a system that allowed him to play down in the box, much like a Rover back, which could hurt him if he is playing predominately at a high-point position.

His speed and acceleration does make up for his slower diagnostic skills. Which is something he can work on and will need to do. I believe that Lynn is much like Roy Williams the former OU and current Dallas Cowboy safety. Lynn will need to work on his hip turn and cover ability when it comes to playing in open space with high level D-One athletes. Williams struggles in pass coverage but is a monster when playing the run. If PSU utilizes his explosiveness and tenacity around the line-of-scrimmage, Lynn could be a huge steal from the state of Texas, a state that has been dramatically under-utilized by JoePa and the Nittany Lions.

In case you forgot, Roy Williams was a hell of a player at OU...
