Scouting report
Samaha recently attended a Kohl’s Spring 2021 Showcase. At the 2020 Kohl’s National Scholarship Camp he had a dominant performance. He was excellent on his field goals and ended up charting one of the best sessions out of all campers at the event. He scored 29 points and was smooth and focused under pressure. Samaha does need to continue to develop on field goals off the ground. His kick- offs are outstanding . . .
