He’s a 3-star linebacker who has a long athletic frame and looks a lot taller than 6’0" on the field. He can cover sideline to sideline and make some big plays look routine. I loved this linebacker and think he will be a special player to watch out for in college and this season. </p> <p>https://twitter.com/Bralodagreat/status/1338552177955115008?s=20</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><br />[player_tooltip player_id="60821" first="Ramir" last="McCray"] - Klein Oak<br />Ramir, I cannot say enough about this linebacker. He may be a bit undersized height wise but don’t let that fool you, Ramir spends plenty of time in the gym and has a very lean frame. He is absolutely dangerous off the edge and can beat blockers with a great burst of LOS and beat them with an arsenal of hand moves. He is also proficient in dropping back and covering the pass. He can trail receivers and make a play on the ball. One whose recruitment is going to take off this year. </p> <p>https://twitter.com/RamirMcCray28/status/1406976906067693568?s=20</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="130692" first="Jimmy" last="Fex"] - McKinney Boyd<br />Fex is a machine when it comes to tackling.

The Judson star linebacker is without a doubt the leader on the field and he makes his presence know every game to everyone in attendance as you can judge by the numbers, he gets his name called a lot offer the loudspeaker during games for making tackles. He’s got the speed. strength and skills relative to his position to have a high ceiling at the next level in college.
