His agility and speed make him a true dual threat—he can turn potential losses into huge gains with his quick footwork, slipping through tight spaces and bursting into open field with ease.
On the defensive side, Quentin shines as the Wildcats’ last line of defense. Playing safety, he demonstrates incredible range, tracking down runners from sideline to sideline. He’s not just fast; he’s a sound tackler, consistently stopping plays and saving points with his ability to close in on opponents quickly.
