Stock Risers: Maryland Class of 2022 Defensive Linemen

<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Prep Redzone looks at some of the Stock Risers in Maryland’s 2022 recruiting class. Today, we take a look at several defensive linemen that just missed making the cut for the most recent rankings update. After taking a look at some more film, Prep Redzone has its eyes on several defensive lineman for the next Class of 2022 rankings update.</p> [player_tooltip player_id="90538" first="Amir" last="Frye"]/6-2/225/Walter Johnson Frye is a defensive end who did not get to play his junior year season due to it being cancelled because of COVID-19 concerns. His sophomore year film shows that he has active hands and that he’s most dangerous when he’s coming off the edge. I like the way Frye quickly Frye takes on blockes and sheds them in order to make a tackle. Hopefully for Frye, he’ll be able to make up missing his junior year by having a superb senior season. [player_tooltip player_id="118994" first="Bryce" last="Purnell"]/6-3/235/Archbishop Spalding Purnell, a defensive end, saw his season limited to two games this past fall due to COVID-19. He plays in what looks like a a 3-4 front and is asked to shoot the inside-gap a lot, which he does well. Purnell makes up for his lack of size with his speed and that enables him to beat offensive guards to the inside. [player_tooltip player_id="90550" first="Charlie" last="Plummer"]/6-3/215/Hancock Plummer showed a lot of promise, especially as a pass rusher, during his sophomore year season. His speed off the edge was noticeable in his sophomore year highlights. Plummer also lined up on the inside and made plays in the opponent’s backfield. Elijah Biillingsley/6-2/315/Archbishop Carroll Billingsley, a true nose guard, is an immoveable force in the middle. His strong suit is stuffing the opponent’s running game. Billingsley has a thick, burly frame, and gives no ground. He’s often able to out-muscle whomever is in front of him and make plays in the backfield or at the line of scrimmage. If Billingley can work on getting a bit quicker off the football, he’ll become a more solid football recruit. [player_tooltip player_id="90528" first="Jalen" last="Robertson"]/6-4/220/Archbishop Spalding Robertson plays defensive end in a 3-4 front for his high school team. He’s a big and strong defensive lineman that does a good job of setting the edge. Robertson currently has a few offers but is still flying a little bit under the radar. Has a decent bend and has the quickness to shoot the inside gap. Robertson can work on getting his hands to be more violent so he can keep offensive lineman from engaging with him for too long. [player_tooltip player_id="90539" first="Kamari" last="Banks"]/6-2/235/Milford Mill I’m impressed with the way Banks extends his arms when he engages offensive linemen. That keeps them away from his body. Banks’ ability to get pressure on the quarterback caused a few turnovers and/or bad throws on his highlights. &nbsp;
