Revisiting 2024 DL Ranked #130 – #160

I haven’t covered these defensive linemen in quite some time! In the past few months, many players up and down the rankings have raised their stock, and in general, it’s important to keep in mind all ranked players are GREAT players! Today we re-visit the four defensive linemen at the "bottom" of the rankings. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="249486" first="Derek" last="Gibson"] - South Lake </strong> There hasn’t been much social media or general news activity about Gibson, so his ranking didn’t change much. Gibb is a pure run-stuffer, and a good interior offensive lineman. My hope is that he’s had a productive offseason where he gets stronger and more agile. At 5’8", 245lbs, his ceiling is a High School Jordan Davis. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="253235" first="Zachary" last="Kelly"] - Forest Hills Northern</strong> Kelly has been semi-active on social media, as he posted about his 325 Bench Press and 615 deadlift. I’m super excited to follow him this season, as he seems to be having a great offseason getting much stronger. He has a great, powerful bull rush on film that should be even stronger next season. If the bull rush is improved, in addition to better burs/hands, Kelly could surprise many people. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="249812" first="Carson" last="Berkompas"] - Charlotte</strong> A DE/TE, [player_tooltip player_id="249812" first="Carson" last="Berkompas"], is decently quick and posted a few sacks last season. There isn’t much new to say about Carson, and all I can say is I hope he’s gotten stronger and improved his mechanics. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="253194" first="Ben" last="Radley"] - South Lyon</strong> Radley, South Lyon’s defensive lineman of the year in 2021, had a good season last year but needs a good offseason to take the next step. He had above-average hands and overall technique last season, which makes me very optimistic for his 2022 season. As long as he’s gained muscle, he’ll be a great player.
