Best Position Fits For The 2022 Class

After watching film of these specific players, it’s obvious that they are some of the most versatile players in this class and the most important players on their respective teams. While this article aims to talk about their high school careers; there is some collegiate projection here, based on the traits they possess and what positions are most valuable as they further their football careers.   [player_tooltip player_id="27992" first="Tyler" last="Ochojski"] 6’2 215, Freehold High <em><strong>Best Fit: Linebacker/ Overhang</strong></em> This young man has tape playing defensive line, linebacker, and tightened. He is a versatile piece that has a high motor with solid speed. As a result, he has some impressive range to make plays all over the football field. At 6’2 215 with solid arm length; he has the frame to add more weight to be able to take on and make plays through blocks. Has the speed and range sideline to sideline to not only make plays in space but be a solid coverage linebacker. As this young man sojourns through his football career, teams will most certainly be passing way more. Honing your craft in coverage is valuable to any team and sets you apart from "traditional" linebackers. If he zeroes in on being a solid coverage linebacker his best football could be ahead of him. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">SACK!

Whether its big-time blocks or disruption in the backfield. As I watched his tape from both sides of the ball I debated which interior line I would want to see him dominate more. I finally settled on the interior defensive line. At 6’2 285 he has the frame to add more size. Coupled with a quick first step to get past most guards and centers, at the snap. He flashed some hand usage, but as he progresses through his football career his use of hands will increase and help him be even better. With a wrestling background, he has a stout lower body and the strength to move a player against their will. With better leverage, he has all the traits and tools to dominate in both run defense and pass-rushing on the interior. To LITERALLY, singlehandedly, wreck games which is almost impossible to find on the interior. As a result, the value comes, from being the type of player guys look to play with. Giving others, more opportunities to make plays because the opposing offensive line will have to devote two or more blockers every snap. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">[player_tooltip player_id="27974" first="Justin" last="Evans-Jenkins"] 6’2 285 OL/DL 3 ⭐️ Irvington, HS <a href="https://twitter.com/JustinEvans53?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@justinevans53</a> <a href="https://t.co/LpKrp0A27p">pic.twitter.com/LpKrp0A27p</a></p> — 56k World 🌎 (@Planet56k) <a href="https://twitter.com/Planet56k/status/1389276751986036741?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 3, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>   [player_tooltip player_id="28019" first="Anthony" last="Kaspereen"] 6’4 290, New Providence <em><strong>Best Fit: Edge</strong></em> At 6’4 290 he has that inside-outside versatility that allows him to make plays from both the interior and outside. A player with that size, quickness, and explosiveness should most certainly be crafting pass rush moves at edge. His disruption is what stands out on tape; the ability to make plays in the run and pass game. As develops his use of hands he has the potential to develop into a player who can hold his own at the point of attack and also creates pressure around tackles with cornering or by pushing the pocket.   [player_tooltip player_id="28036" first="Ahmad" last="Nalls"] 6’1 220, East Orange <strong>Best Fit: Linebacker</strong> I was torn between a stand-up outside linebacker or an on-ball linebacker. So we’ll just go with linebacker. He has that quickness off the snap that shows that he has that upfield burst. to win quickly. Most of his tape is from either three tech or edge but I’m of the belief that this young man is a thick 6’1 220. Therefore, as he adds more mass keeping that same burst and speed off the edge. Why couldn’t he be a movable chess piece at linebacker? Rushing from the end against tackles on passing on downs also possessing that strength and size to take on blocks make plays through them taking into account the leverage that he can create at 6’1. The biggest trait that showed up the most, giving me much faith in this fit is how much he made plays in space and how he always seemed to be around the football. His instincts could serve him well going forward at linebacker, as he has already committed to Kent State. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Great early morning training with <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachLT33?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachLT33</a> in preparation for tomorrow’s camp! <a href="https://twitter.com/ScoutNickP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ScoutNickP</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/mrbrickfa90?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@mrbrickfa90</a> <a href="https://t.co/fjEmxRq10D">pic.twitter.com/fjEmxRq10D</a></p> — TheReal2DG (@NallsAhmad) <a href="https://twitter.com/NallsAhmad/status/1373395006409564163?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 20, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
