New Jersey HS Football: Class of 2024 linbacker Stock Risers

Prep Redzone has updated the list of Class of 2024 Stock Risers at the linebacker position in the state of New Jersey.  The adjustments to the state rankings will be made at the end of the season. If you have a Class of 2024 linebacker prospect whose stock has risen in your opinion, shoot us an email at allstateprepsfb@gmail.com. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="220151" first="Chris" last="Aykut"] | 5-10 | 180 | PARAMUS</strong> Aykut has taken 61 total tackles (22 solo, eight TFL) in seven games this season. Aykut has three games where he's made 10-plus total tackles. That's a lot of production for a sophomore. Aykut is undersized but he still has time to get bigger and stronger. Don't take that the wrong way though, he can hold his own at the linebacker position. Aykut wraps-up when he makes tackles and is a sideline-to-sideline backer. He has a good solo tackle-to-assisted tackle ratio (3:1). Aykut uses his quickness against bigger linemen to his advantage. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="220152" first="Izzy" last="Hernandez"] | 6-1 | 210 | EASTERN</strong> Hernandez has made 41 total tackles (29 solo, 10 TFL) and has sacked the quarterback three times. He’s also found time to run 72 times for 335 yards and five touchdowns. I'd like to see him shed blockers a little bit faster and come downhill a little quicker. Improving in those areas would make him an even better linebacker prospect. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="220153" first="Jonathan" last="Lobelo"] | 5-11 | 210 | HILLSBORO</strong> Lobelo has made 52 total tackles (45 solo) and sacked the quarterback 3.5 times. He does a great job of getting downhill in a hurry against the run game. He's a physical tackler who runs through ballcarriers as he wraps up. Lobelo is decisive and once he reads his keys and diagnoses the play, he's quick to react. He doesn't look out of place when covering his zone against the past. There's also a few plays that show his skills as a pass-rusher. Lobelo is definitely a linebacker who can defend sideline-to-sideline. He's willing to dive down inside the hole and bang with lead blocks. Lobelo shows no hesitation to run right through his tackler targets. He's a tackler collector with plenty of solo finishes. Lobelo has a good tackle range with the speed to go and get whover has the football. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="220154" first="Matt" last="Cassiday"] | 5-10 | 170 | MALBORO</strong> Cassiday has made 50 total tackles (35 solo, 9.0 TFL), caught three interceptions, deflected two passes, caused and recovered a fumble. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="220161" first="Matt" last="Rattay"] | 5-8 | 175 | ROXBURY</strong> Rattay has made 68 total tackles (21 solo) in seven games this season. He’s also carried the football 51 times for 202 yards and four touchdowns. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="220162" first="Nicky" last="Laccitiello"] | 5-7 | 145 | POMPTON LAKES</strong> Laccitiello has made 47 total tackles (17 solo) in six games this season. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="220163" first="Sebastian" last="Andujar"] | 5-9 | 160 | FREEHOLD TWP</strong> Andujar has made 46 total tackles (35 solo) in seven games this season.
