Caden Ingram Caden Ingram LB Palm Beach Gardens Dwyer | 2022 FL – Dwyer High
6’0 195lbs
Ingram is a good linebacker prospect that played in the Florida/Georgia All-Star Game in January. He only got to play in five games this season, but he impressed in those games. Ingram is always attacking downfield fast and does a good job blitzing. He’s very effective in coverage and shows the ability to drop his hips and accelerate to the ball, he’s good out in space and a really good open-field tackler. He was the first team all-county this season and has a 3.7 GPA.
William Marshall- Dwyer High
Marshall caught my eye watching film of his teammates. Marshall mans the middle with Ingram and they form a very good tandem. Marshall does a good job filling his gap consistently, he has a nose for the ball and does a good job sifting through traffic to get to the football, and seems to not be caught out of position very often.

Jakarri Eckles- Westwood High
6’1 215lbs
Eckles has a nice size/speed combo, he displays good short-area quickness, he’s an aggressive tackler that is explosive on contact, reads the play and shoot gaps quickly, has good backside chase speed. He’s definitely one to watch the season. He currently has an offer from Warner University.

Slone is a sideline-to-sideline linebacker that can run (4.56 40), he’s very effective in coverage and shows the ability to easily redirect and accelerate to the football. He doesn’t shy away from contact and does a good job bringing his arms and wrapping up. He’s definitely one to watch this season.

Hudson McKinney- Martin County
5’11 195lbs
McKinney is an intriguing linebacker Prospect, he’s a very good student that has a 3.75 GPA. Watching him on film his intelligence really stands out, he trusts his eyes and doesn’t get caught out of position, and dissects plays quickly, he does a good job unlocking his hips and making solid tackles, does a good job seeing through blocks and accelerates to the football. I really like this kid.
