Kabron Purifoy, DT- Tate High
6’3 250lbs
Purifoy has been outstanding for Tate high this season. He has 41 tackles, two sacks and one forced fumble. He’s averaging 13 tackles per game. He doesn’t have updated highlights but I wanted to spotlight him so coaches can go check him out. His Junior season highlights he does show the ability to shock lineman back and shed getting to the ball. Shows really good quickness to split blocks off the snap and get into the backfield.
Carson Burbee, DE/TE- Countryside High
6’3 245lbs
Burbee is a player that we’ve spotlighted in the past. He’s off to another fantastic season on the defensive side of the ball, he has 38 tackles, 6 tackles for loss, and 2 sacks through five games this season. He’s a very versatile player that could play on either side of the ball at the next level, he shows nice athleticism for the defensive end position and shows good quickness and acceleration.
