Murphy’s off to a fast start with Mandarin High, he’s second in the state in his class with 60 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks. He’s averaging over 15 tackles a game! He doesn’t have updated film, but the film I’ve seen he plays sideline-to-sideline and can also fill the hole, shows the ability to blitz and slip past blockers, and has above-average diagnose skills.
Grayson Howard Grayson Howard 6'3" | 225 lbs | LB Jacksonville Andrew Jackson | 2023 State FL – Andrew Jackson High

Howard is 4-star linebacker Prospect and one of the best overall junior prospects in the state. Power is off to a fast start again this season registering 50 tackles, eight tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks through three games. He’s an outstanding athlete that excels in space and pass coverage, equally as good against the run, fires off at the snap and accelerates to the ball, sideline to sideline linebacker that takes good angles to the football.

Jacob Reed- Durant High
5’10 200lbs
Reed is a linebacker prospect that I spotlighted in August because I really liked his film and thought he would have a good season this year, he has not disappointed through four games registering 43 tackles and six tackles for losses, while averaging over 10 tackles per game. Aggressive downhill linebacker that attacks the hole, does a good job sifting through traffic to get to the ball, takes good angles and is a sure tackler, shows good acceleration (4.7 40) to the ball.
