Hernando/Citrus Defensive Prospects to Watch Out For in 2021

<div id="contentsContainer" class="style-scope qowt-page"> <div id="contents" class="style-scope qowt-page"> With the 2021 season upon us, I wanted to go in-depth about some guys that are under the radar right now. These players are all talented and have college level ability and skills. Some of these players have a few offers and with the help of big seasons I can see all of them playing college football at some level.     Devin Williams, DT- Hernando High c/o 23 6'2 300lbs Williams is a very powerful 0/1 technique player that has a stout compact frame, he eats up blocks and shows the ability to split blocks and get into the backfield. Has pretty good quickness and is really hard to move off the point of attack. He has good athleticism for a player his size and he will only get better. He tallied 43 tackles from his defensive tackle position. Williams is also smart in the classroom holding a 3.5 GPA.

He's a very fluid linebacker that can do it all against the run and in pass coverage, he's a sideline-to-sideline linebacker with smooth acceleration, he knows his assignments and is very disciplined against run and pass. Very good prospect that inexplicably doesn't have an offer.

He has very good ball skills and is a playmaker using athleticism and intelligence when the ball is in the air, he shows very good range in coverage and has a smooth backpedal and can flip his hips and run; he does an outstanding job reading quarterbacks and getting to the football. Ho has very good hands and naturally catches the football. </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/15253984/Allan-Ho">https://www.hudl.com/profile/15253984/Allan-Ho</a>   Brady Nowlan, LB- Nature Coast Tech c/o 23 6'2 200lbs Nowlan is an intriguing Junior Prospect that had 89 tackles and averaged over 11 tackles a game last season. He's very active and is a linebacker that has the athleticism to play against spread offenses that you're looking for these days. He shows good key and diagnose ability and takes good angles to the ball, does a good job taking on blocks and shedding. He's a very nice linebacker that could double his production this season.

Chavis is extremely athletic and is quick to key and diagnose and attack the football, has very good closing speed and quickness, he does a really good job timing his blitzes and splitting blocks, gets downfield in a hurry making plays all over the field. He's a very smart linebacker that very rarely is caught out of position. He has a 3.7 GPA. He's another linebacker that stunningly doesn't have an offer. </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/12799750/Joseph-Chavis">https://www.hudl.com/profile/12799750/Joseph-Chavis</a>   Logan Frederick, DE- Citrus High 6'2 230lbs Frederick has a nice frame and instincts, and could potentially play linebacker at the next level. He shows good quickness off the snap does a good job using his hands and disengaging blocks and getting to the ball, he's smart and assignment sound doesn't get caught out of position. Nice prospect that will only get better this season.
