Stock Risers: Rk. #6| [player_tooltip player_id="90652" first="Mason" last="Robinson"] | 6’4 225 | McDonough Offers: 10+ D1 Robinson has had hype bubbling since the cancelled 2020 season. In 2021 we finally got to see all the hype about him absolutely spew out onto the field. Mason is a very polished defensive lineman, he not only has more than enough physical talent, but his technique is what sets him apart from a lot of the rising seniors. With current #1 player in the class of 2022 in [player_tooltip player_id="90498" first="Dani" last="Dennis-Sutton"] off to Penn State the spotlight will now be on Mason. With the help of the other members of the haunting McDonough defensive line, Robinson should be on his way to another monster season. Robinson was invited to the 2022 National Combine at the All-American Bowl this weekend. https://twitter.com/Mason42Robinson/status/1465885959107584008?s=20 Rk. #7| [player_tooltip player_id="90643" first="Dashawn" last="Womack"] | 6’5 240lbs | St. Francis Offers: 10= D1 Womack has the frame any power 5 defensive coordinator would jump at, he’s college game ready physically. Womack has had the opportunity to compete against the top prospects in the nation at, Mater Dei, De La Salle, and St. Thomas Aquinas to name a few. Against that type of talent Womack is still a force on the end of the D-line. Womacks athleticism stands out a lot, especially when he’s in pursuit, he moves pretty fast for a guy that’s 6’5 240lbs. This week Womack was selected to play in the 2023 Under Armour All-American Bowl after competing at the UA Next All-American Game. <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/12859447/61d23fe25b3e0f0b405e9d44" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Womack’s HULD Highlights</a> https://twitter.com/Dashawnwomack/status/1476324860955705347?s=20 New Ranks: Rk. #20| [player_tooltip player_id="260206" first="Julien" last="Moutome"] | 6’4 225lbs | Mount St. Joseph Offers: None Moutome made a name for himself with his relentlessness and athleticism. He fights from whistle to whistle, sideline to sideline. If he can’t get the initial push, he’s baring down the QB’s neck outside the pocket. With the bulk of talent in the Mount St. Joseph defensive backfield Moutome will play a huge roll in their defensive success. Julien is a 3-sport athlete, playing basketball, football, and does shotput on the track & field team.

He just moves offensive linemen around him like water around a rock. Daron is the type of player that makes you realize how a dominant DT can change an entire game. Denitons presence and play throughout the season helped lead the Mustangs to a State Championship, where they held Dundalk’s lethal running game to a minimum allowing them to take the title home.

At his size I love him as a stand-up DE, in college an outside or middle linebacker. For the Poets he lines up at stand-up end, outside linebacker, and interior defensive line. Very versatile player who shows he’s strong enough to hold his own in the trenches and athletic enough to chase down RB’s, QB’s, and WR’s.

On Dec.19th I had the opportunity to evaluate Daniel at the Gameday Recruits 1% Showcase in Gambrills, MD where he stood out against top recruits. This is where Daniel got on my radar, I thought he was a new kid that I’ve never seen play before but as we spoke, I realized he was this DE at Calvert Hall that’s been buzzing. During the camp he shined bright by consistently winning the abundance of reps he had. He showed that he has an arsenal of moves, executing the speed rush, spin, and chop.
