  Draft Scout by Conference









  USC linebacker Eric Gentry has yet to speak with the media this fall camp, but his teammates and coaches can't say enough about him. The sophomore transferred from Arizona State to USC in the spring and has been transitioning seamlessly and learning quickly. "The amount of ball he's been able to digest so far has been pretty impressive," inside linebackers coach Brian Odom said. "When he can get on the same page as the other guys - he's improving every day - I'm excited about his future." Odom said the coaching staff has been giving him a lot of repetitions to help him learn quickly and see what he's physically capable of.

Even when running gassers at the end of a hot, two-hour practice, Gentry gallops to the front of the pack with energy and a competitive drive. "It's really deceptive," Odom said. "He's really quick and has tremendous balance for his length. You don't see a lot of guys like that with his proportions." Gentry's athleticism is paired with a 6-foot-6, 200-pound frame. At first glance, he seems wiry, but in action, he uses his long limbs to increase his coverage area. At ASU, he was an early enrollee and became a freshman All-American after ranking sixth on the team in tackles (45). Although he has yet to show what he can do in a game with the Trojans, he did grab an interception during the fall camp scrimmage. "With the plays, he's been catching on," linebacker Raesjon Davis said. "He's always learning. That's been a main thing because he got here later than everyone else. So him getting the playbook was a big thing." - Orange County Register
