Five Kansas D-Linemen Deserving Of Offers

Defensive Linemen continue to be an important piece for a solid college defensive unit. Here are five talented Kansas defensive lineman looking for their first college football offer. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="35383" first="David" last="Waymire"], 6’1”, 225, Hutchinson (’21 Ranked No. 62)—</strong>Waymire is a solid athlete who somehow has gotten over-looked to this point in the recruiting process. The Hutch senior is a three-year starter for the Salthawks. He had 22 tackles through four games. He moves quickly and wraps up on tackles. In-state programs should check in on Waymire before finalizing their Class of 2021 recruiting classes. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="35539" first="Anthony" last="Herrera"], 5’0”, 250, Chase (’21 Ranked No. 300)</strong> – Herrera is an aggressive player who enjoys football. He has been a three-year starter and a two-year captain for the Chase Kats. He is best suited to play a nose-shade on defense, but he is also a solid center.  He has 23 tackles in four games for Chase. He is a solid worker in the classroom as well, as he currently has a 3.8 GPA. He would be a solid addition to a JUCO program. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="49722" first="Jonah" last="Smith"], 6’2”, 260, Plainville</strong> – Smith is a hoss! The Plainville his fast for his size. He has a quick first step and is strong as a three-year-old steer. Smith has a solid work ethic on and off the field. He currently has a 4.0 GPA and works in the cattle industry. Smith has 23 tackles so far in 2020 and is a big space-eater who frees up his linebackers. <strong>Conner Koehn, 6’3”, 215, Canton Galva</strong> – Kohen has a high motor and is playing well for the undefeated Eagles. Koehn plays as a standup defensive end for the 8-Man Eagles but could move inside if needed in 11-Man football. He is a strong young man with a 415 lb deadlift and a 225 lb clean. Division III and JUCO programs should give Koehn a call. <strong>Wyatt Busick, 6’1”, 220, Piper</strong>– Busick is a tank. He keeps a low pad level and is strong enough to fight off blocks. Piper is a school district that has been hammered by the COVID outbreak. Busick won’t have a lot of game film to watch from this season, but what there is worth a watch. He might top out as a JUCO prospect, but NAIA scouts should check in with him.
