Andrei Iosivas played as the X-receiver at Princeton, but better projects to the next level as a Z. He will offer some versatility to a team and could potentially develop into the role of an X, but his immediate contributions should be from the Z. He’s an intruging athlete overall, making Bruce Feldman’s Freaks list this offseason, and is a three-time Ivy League champion in the heptathon. He also happens to have run the fastest 60 meters ever (6.71) in the 2022 heptathon.

Andrei Iosivas scouting notes
Pros:
- Very solid speed. Was almost always the fastest player on the field.
- Understands nuances well in the concepts.
- Has a decent release off of press. Has good athleticism to jump laterally and squeeze by the defender.
- Very solid, reliable hands.
- Has just 6 career drops as of 11/11. When he did drop balls, they were very easy and he just took his concentration off. A very rare occurrence.
- Has good vertical ability to go up and win contested catches.
- He shows to be a decent run blocker. Held up well against defensive backs just using his size.
Cons:
- Acceleration is average. Has good burst that he can get into once he’s moving.
- I really don’t see a lot of explosive ability from Iosivas.
- Size and competition is a real key. Iosivas played against subpar competition and may have been able to bully his way around a bit with his size and athleticism.
