If we missed any, please let us know!   <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Dakyus Brinkley - Seven Lakes</span></strong></span></em> Brinkley is a disruptive player who recreates the line of scrimmage, and when he is not blocked just know that he is more than likely making the play. He has great size to him and is fluid with his movements. Brinkley shows good coverage skills and moves well in space. As a rusher he is dominate. He uses his size and strength to get through blocks and shows very good bend on some of his rushes. Very good use of his length to keep blockers off by locking out his arms and very good secondary moves. Brinkley will be a name discussed for the next few years to come and has the potential to be a game altering player. <iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/13402850/61302f52d45e4a05449b48dc" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>   <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="276737" first="Kory" last="Pradia"] - Klein Forest</strong></span></em></span> Pradia does an excellent job of making stops for minimal or no gains as the unblocked player. He shoots the gap with no hesitation and meets the ball carrier before they get momentum. Pradia reads and reacts and does a great job of play recognition. He reads gaps very well and as a flow linebacker knows when to make his move downhill. Pradia is physical at the point of attack and does a good job of disengaging when blocked. He is a very good run stopper who gives little ground and will only get better with every game played. <iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15303794/619d42a7ab922807b85da385" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>   <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Braylen Kizzee - Hightower</strong></span></em></span> Kizzee is a quick, instinctual player who plays with a fantastic motor.

He possesses the speed and quickness to spy quarterbacks and to shoot gaps before being touched. Johnson will be a problem for the next two seasons. <iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16376687/618de319bed697095c7a0a91" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
