2021 Western PA FCS/D3 Linebackers

Are you still looking for a linebacker? Check out these 5 players who are still available from FCS to D3 linebackers.   [player_tooltip player_id="27261" first="Ethan" last="West"] Linebacker 6’3 220 - Seneca Valley HS Junior Season Analysis: Looks like he has good size. Shows to have decent speed with some quickness. Lacks closing burst but shows to be a good tackler. Overall, Ethan is a good player, who I see playing at the FCS level. His biggest offer is Army, but also holds a few FCS offers.   Michael Peyton, Linebacker 6’0 190 – Peters Township HS Sophomore Season Analysis: He has good size. He has quickness but lacks overall speed, with an okay closing burst. Does show quickness and bend off the edge when blitzing. Shows average change of direction. Does show some good ball skills. He is a good tackler. Looks a little stiff in the hips. Michael is a good player. He missed his junior year with a torn ACL, so I cannot wait to see how he improved for his senior season. I believe he could be an FCS player.   Brady Leczo, Linebacker 5’11 215 – North Allegheny HS Junior Season Analysis: Brady seems to be a little undersized. He shows some quickness but lacks speed and lacks closing burst. He is a physical kid. He seems a little stiff. Good tackler and can be a hard hitter at times. Brady holds an FCS offer. He is a good player, but I believe he is a D-II, D-III player.   [player_tooltip player_id="27490" first="Colton" last="Johns"], Linebacker 6’2 212 – Franklin Regional HS Junior Season Analysis: Colton has good size. Shows quickness but lacks overall speed and closing burst. Lacks bend coming off the edge. He is a good tackler. Shows to be physical to shed off blocks. According to Twitter, he has no offers. I believe Colton is a D-III player.   Tucker Knupp, Linebacker 6’0 205 – Greater Latrobe HS Junior Season Analysis: Tucker has good size. Lacks quickness but shows okay speed. Has an okay closing burst. Does play tight end as well, shows average ball skills. Lacks bend coming off the edge. He is a decent tackler, does tackle at the legs a lot. Competition isn’t that good. According to Twitter, he has no offers. I believe Tucker would be a D-III player.
