According to New Level Athletics:

"Deontay McManus is quite the athlete. He can pretty much play every skill position on the field. On offense, he is primarily a receiver. However, he is big enough and skilled enough to play in the backfield. On the defensive side of the ball, he can play defensive back and linebacker."

"He is a very versatile player. At the BadgerSport Elite 7v7 National Championship at the University of Alabama, he ran very precise routes as a receiver and almost always creates separation from DB’s. It seemed like he was always open. You could always hear the opposing coach saying, “who’s covering that guy”. He has very soft hands as well."

"Deontay has the ability to take short passes and make them into long gains. After he gets the ball in his hands, he is dangerous in the open field. He also has the ability to stretch the field with his speed and has a go get it mentality."

Clemson has offered McManus for next year's recruiting class.
