With 156 tackles to his name [player_tooltip player_id='106163' first='Malik' last='Ellis'] certainly showed that he can play at a high level and that he has what it takes to compete.

He was excellent at reading his keys, defeating blocks and getting to the ball carrier. This season he racked up over 140 tackles with 85 of those being recorded as solo tackles. His performance is quite notable as a junior therefore it would be interesting to see if Lane Kiffin and other coaches present were interested in this notable play maker. There is no doubt that Chung will be able to repeat if not beat this year's tackling performance. Because of this he has been considered one of 4A's top 5 Tacklers.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-638cf2e239e2f"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Jordan Gowdy","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"West Lauderdale High School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Knights","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Gowdy was an excellent centerpiece for the Knights this season. He was able to be impactful in both the run and the pass game as is seen by both his film and performances. This year Jordan collected 132 tackles with 19 of those going for losses while 83 of his tackles were solo tackles. This young stud is a tackling machine who can get into the opponent's backfield and cause havoc. He's got a great build to be an excellent fit to many collegiate programs.

He is able to read opponents guards efficiently and scrape over the top of blocks to make key tackles. This season Walters also had 132 tackles and a little over 10 tackles per game. Bryson is an impressive linebacker who has the potential to be an impactful role player in the next few years as well as at the next level.
