He's very versatile, showing burst to split blocks and get into the backfield quickly. Has enough athleticism and speed to possibly play safety at the next level.

Has enough quickness and burst to translate to safety at the next level. He reads plays quickly and shoots into the backfield, consistently making plays behind the line of scrimmage. Comes to balance and hits bigger than his size. Film: https://www.hudl.com/profile/15056362/Justin-Morgan   Mitchell Cain- Lake Wales 6'1 225lbs Cain is what your looking for in a linebacker, he's got really good size he benches 300 lb, squats over 500 pounds, and runs a 4.8 40. He reads blocks quickly (averaged 10 tkls a game) and plays downhill, does a good job scraping and getting to the ball carrier. He's not just an in the Box linebacker; you can flex him out into coverage and he shows the ability to make plays on the ball and moves well in space. Very good linebacker Prospect that is smart (3.9 GPA) and is getting some looks from smaller schools. </div> </div> <div id="contentsContainer" class="style-scope qowt-page"> <div id="contents" class="style-scope qowt-page"> Film: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11387493/Mitchell-Cain">https://www.hudl.com/profile/11387493/Mitchell-Cain</a>   Sean Major- Lake Wales c/o 23 5'10 205lbs Major is a thumper on the inside, attacks the alley's and fills the hole with authority and drives ball carriers backwards. He shows active feet and plays downhill, he does a very good job taking on blocks and shedding, hustles at all times and doesn't take plays off. Film: https://www.hudl.com/profile/13250922/Sean-Major   Mekhi Brown- Hardee High 6'2 200lbs Brown has the frame to pack on weight and not lose any of his athleticism, he is a competitor, plays stand up outside linebacker and competes on every play. Shows good technique taking on blocks and making plays on the ball carrier, his hustle and tenacity really stand out on film. Plays with his hand in the ground and can set the edge, I see him translating to linebacker at the next level with his closing burst and read and react quickness. </div> </div> <div id="contentsContainer" class="style-scope qowt-page"> <div id="contents" class="style-scope qowt-page"> Film: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12285558/Mekhi-Brown">https://www.hudl.com/profile/12285558/Mekhi-Brown</a>   Jayden Daniels- Hardee High c/o 23 5'11 210lbs Daniel's is a nice Junior Prospect that is a throwback linebacker who is a thumper and attacks gaps. He's an active linebacker when he reads run he shows burst hitting the seem. Good tackler that brings his hips and generates power. One to keep an eye on. Film: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13034145/Jayden-Daniels">https://www.hudl.com/profile/13034145/Jayden-Daniels</a>   Josiah Taylor- Sebring c/o 24 5'11 190lbs Taylor was a freshman last season that started and was very productive for a team that went 8-1 on the season. He had 50 tackles and averaged over seven tackles a game. He's an aggressive linebacker that attacks through blocks and fills the hole with authority. He has quick feet and trusts his eyes, he can play out in space and is a sound tackler against spread teams. He's definitely one to watch the next few seasons. </div> </div> <div id="contentsContainer" class="style-scope qowt-page"> <div id="contents" class="style-scope qowt-page"> Film: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14975414/Josiah-Taylor">https://www.hudl.com/profile/14975414/Josiah-Taylor</a> </div> </div> <div id="pageBorders" class="style-scope qowt-page" contenteditable="false"></div> <div class="style-scope qowt-page"></div> <div></div> <div></div> <div></div> <div></div> <div>You Can Contact Shannon Jordan with a prospect or team information on Twitter @in_huddle or shannon.jordan.ib@gmail.com.
