Prep RedZone Next: All FBU Tournament Team – Defensive Line

There were more than 3,500 athletes participating in the FBU National Championship tournament this year from the 1OU age bracket through the 8th grade age bracket–and thousands more tried out. However, we have settled on who he we feel were the top players in the tournament. Some only played one or two games before heading to the consolation games, whereas others won national titles in their respective age groups. Here's a look at the players who had the biggest impact on the Defensive Line during the tournament. <span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>First Team Defensive Line</strong></span> <table style="border-collapse: collapse;width: 100%"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 20%;border-style: solid;border-color: #000000"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-267407" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/01/TylerAtkinsonFBUR3-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></td> <td style="width: 20%;border-style: solid;border-color: #000000"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-255235" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/12/DeuceGeraldsFBUR3-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></td> <td style="width: 20%;border-style: solid;border-color: #000000"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-254134" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/12/KJ-Gillespie-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></td> <td style="width: 20%;border-style: solid;border-color: #000000"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-258216" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/12/DominicFunkeCombine-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></td> <td style="width: 20%;border-style: solid;border-color: #000000"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-254221" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/12/JeRaylenMcCoyFBUR3-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 20%;border-style: solid;border-color: #000000;text-align: center">Tyler Atkinson GFL, 2026</td> <td style="width: 20%;border-style: solid;border-color: #000000;text-align: center">Deuce Geralds GFL, 2026</td> <td style="width: 20%;border-style: solid;border-color: #000000;text-align: center">KJ Gillespie Carolina, 2026</td> <td style="width: 20%;border-style: solid;border-color: #000000;text-align: center">Dominic Funke Mass, 2026</td> <td style="width: 20%;border-style: solid;border-color: #000000;text-align: center">JaReylan McCoy Mississippi, 2026</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 20%;border-style: solid;border-color: #000000"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-255252" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/12/BrycePerryWright-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></td> <td style="width: 20%;border-style: solid;border-color: #000000"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-245389" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/12/TheoTroutman-300x300.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></td> <td style="width: 20%;border-style: solid;border-color: #000000"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-258249" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/12/ZaneRoweCombine-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></td> <td style="width: 20%;border-style: solid;border-color: #000000"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-233802" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/11/CJFrazierPRZ-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></td> <td style="width: 20%;border-style: solid;border-color: #000000"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-258244" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/12/DJRumphCombine-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 20%;border-style: solid;border-color: #000000;text-align: center">Bryce Perry-Wright GFL, 2026</td> <td style="width: 20%;border-style: solid;border-color: #000000;text-align: center">Theothus Troutman Indiana, 2028</td> <td style="width: 20%;border-style: solid;border-color: #000000;text-align: center">Zane Rowe Dallas, 2027</td> <td style="width: 20%;border-style: solid;border-color: #000000;text-align: center">Chris Frazier GFL, 2027</td> <td style="width: 20%;border-style: solid;border-color: #000000;text-align: center">DJ Rumph GMSAA, 2027</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> &nbsp;
