Scouting Report - A national-level defensive tackle prospect with true defensive tackle size, Sorrells is a load in the middle who requires double teams at the high school level. Even at his size, Sorrells is light on his feet, displays fluid change of direction, and does a good job of using his quick hands to disengage from offensive linemen. Not only does Sorrells display a knack for getting into the backfield but he's adept at finishing off plays when he gets there and also has the motor to chase down screens on the perimeter.
High School Coach Scouting Report -Winter Park (Fla.) High head coach Tim Shifflet -"Explosive, can run. One of his greatest attributes, I would say are his feet, his ability to run and then his explosiveness coming off the ball. He's one of those guys that you see in the SEC every year whether it's at South Carolina, Alabama, Ole Miss - interior guys who just can create havoc and can change the game ala Donold from the Rams - he's one of those explosive, leveraged, strong kids and he's only going to get better."
Why South Carolina? "It just felt like home. All of the coaches, the players, everything - every move that I made - everything felt like home. They've got a great plan in place for me. So did Penn State. Those were narrowed down to my top two and honestly I just felt like I made the best decision for myself."
