2022 Linebacker Depth Is Impressive

You could rattle off the names of the elite linebackers who have played in the state of Florida before heading out to compete at the next level and beyond. This is <strong>Derrick Brooks’</strong> home. It’s where <strong>Ray Lewis</strong> and <strong>Derrick Thomas</strong> dominated – along with <strong>Kahlil Mack, Ernie Sims Jr</strong>. and so any others have carved a path to follow. <img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-117053" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/03/2022-Updaters-1-300x150.jpg" alt="2022 Linebacker Prospects" width="300" height="150" />This year’s <strong><em>Update Top 100 Class of 2022</em></strong> rankings reflect just how much talent there is at the position, and colleges and universities all over the country are watching and seeing prospects that many have never watched live, due to the pandemic. Today, we continue to impress the country with 540 Class of 2022 prospects. Here are five of them: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="49987" first="Wesley" last="Bissainthe"], 6-2, 200, Miami Central. </strong>There is simply nothing more to add to this young man’s resume – other than his final year at the high school level. A big-time athlete who runs, jumps and makes plays all over the field. He is easily as good as anyone in the country at his position – because he is just more athletic and quicker. His final season with the two-time defending 6A state champion Rockets will be fun to watch. <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12764193/Wesley-Bissanthe">https://www.hudl.com/profile/12764193/Wesley-Bissanthe</a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="50055" first="Leon" last="Hart"], OLB, 6-2, 190, Miami Edison. </strong>For those who follow this young man and are convinced that this may be one of the most underrated players in Florida. While he is indeed talented, and is a playmaker, this is a dynamic prospect who is always around the ball, making plays and giving the Red Raiders a solid prospect at the position. Watch him play and you will be sold. <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12961532/Leon-Hart-Jr">https://www.hudl.com/profile/12961532/Leon-Hart-Jr</a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="50015" first="Aaron" last="Hester"], 6-3, 220, Neptune Beach Fletcher. </strong>Watching this impressive talent since his sophomore season, this is a gifted football player, who has speed and quickness to go along with his skill. Watch him tackle and you will be sold. Some have a knack of being around the ball on just about every play, and Aaron certainly backs that up. Colleges and universities already understand what he offers them. <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/6418344/Aaron-Hester">https://www.hudl.com/profile/6418344/Aaron-Hester</a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="50021" first="Melvin" last="Jordan"], 6-0, 205, Clearwater Central Catholic. </strong>It doesn’t take long to figure that this is a major prospect who is quick, strong, athletic and plays the linebacker position with intensity and passion. This young man controls games and that is why everyone has their eye on his overall play. Tough to run away from someone this big – when his motor never stops. <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14297772/Melvin-Jordan">https://www.hudl.com/profile/14297772/Melvin-Jordan</a><strong> </strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="50038" first="Devin" last="Smith"], OLB, 6-2, 236, Orange Park Oakleaf. </strong>If you have followed this impressive talent for any length of time, you notice how big he has gotten – and when you combine that with how much he has learned over the past few seasons – it adds up to a quality football player who continues to attract attention from colleges who hadn’t watched him during this maturity and growth period. <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11224657/Devin-Smith">https://www.hudl.com/profile/11224657/Devin-Smith</a> <strong>CHECK OUT THE UPDATED 2022 TOP 100 PLUS. </strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2021/02/updated-2022-florida-rankings/">https://prepredzone.com/2021/02/updated-2022-florida-rankings/</a><strong> </strong> <strong>Y<em>ou Can Contact [player_tooltip player_id="111610" first="Larry" last="Blustein"] with prospect or team information at: Foridakids1@aol.com.
