Through three games he’s leading the team with 37 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 3 QB hurries, and one force fumble. He’s currently averaging over 12 tackles per game. Young linebacker that’s still growing into the position, but flashes the ability to be a playmaker, takes good angles to the ball and has the athleticism and lateral agility to sink his hips and redirect. He’s a player coaches need to keep on their radar.
Kevin Marks- Land O’Lakes High c/o 23

He’s been a playmaker through three games leading the team with 31 tackles, 6 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 1 int, 1 forced fumble and one blocked punt! Mark’s is very disciplined/smart backer and does a good job reading his keys, shows good acceleration and range to play sideline to sideline. He’s a good student with a 3.0 GPA and is a player coaches need to check out this season.

He was the first team all-conference selection last season and is well on his way to being selected again in 2022. Instinctive linebacker that’s physical, does a good job shedding blocks and filling the hole, shows good quickness and acceleration to the football. Definitely a linebacker prospect that can play at the next level.
