3 Stud LBs In The 2023 Class Who Remain On The Market

<!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='240788' first='Cole' last='Williams'] - Brebeuf Jesuit - LB - 6'0" 215lbs - 2023</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williams is a incredibly smart player who has a ton of experience in one of the states best programs. He's a complete Linebacker and this year and had everything click for him and it showed. He played with a ton of confidence and it allowed him to be fast and free. He's got great closing speed and knows how to take a proper angle. He'll force guys back inside and allow his teammates to rally to the ball. He's fast enough to string plays out to the edge and force them out instead of allowing them up-field. He's decent in zone coverage and stays light on his feet and watches the QB's eyes. In man coverage, he could use a bit of technique clean up but he's not bad by any means. Williams had a fantastic year and was able to put everything together. His 100 tackles, 9 TFLs, and 5 forced turnovers stood out most in terms of numbers. He's a fantastic athlete who can come in, develop, and make an impact down the road for his collegiate program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Twitter: @Co1ewilliams</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12877625/Cole-Williams">https://www.hudl.com/profile/12877625/Cole-Williams</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='357151' first='Gavin' last='Miller'] - Hobart - LB - 6'2" 185lbs - 2023</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Miller is a fantastic, yet still raw, athlete who has more upside in him to come out. For his length, he's a fairly explosive player who is good off the edge. He's versatile and can bounce around while playing that edge. He's able to cover a ton of ground and play on either side and be effective. He's got fairly long arms which allow him to bounce off guys and reset himself. He's got a really good first step which gives him the momentum. He's someone who could use some development in coverage and the weight room, but the upside is there. With his athleticism and size, he could potentially be looked at as a DE but I'd anticipate him staying at LB. Miller is someone who has the size, the talent, a ton of experience, and is simply hungry for his opportunity. A bright future lays ahead with Miller.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Twitter: @Gmi11er</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12827678/Gavin-Miller">https://www.hudl.com/profile/12827678/Gavin-Miller</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='185196' first='Josh' last='Woods'] - Pike - LB - 6'0" 210lbs - 2023</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Woods is a fantastic athlete with as much upside as he wants. He's explosive, sees the field well, and can play multiple spots in a defense. He can rush the passer and be effective. He's rushed in the A gaps and D gaps and not only gotten home, but forced fumbles in the past. He's got the range to cover sideline to sideline and then has the know how and athletic ability to play both coverages. He's best in zone coverage where he can sit back, read the QB's eyes, and react accordingly. He's housed a few picks in the past and likely will have more in the future. Woods put up 116 tackles, 4.5 sacks, and 3 INT on the year. One of the most complete seasons possible and he's still getting better. I think once Woods gets into a collegiate lifting program and understands their system he could be a star there as well. Woods is a phenomenal prospect who checks just about every box for a young LB. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Twitter: @J_woods_11</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12907175/Josh-Woods">https://www.hudl.com/profile/12907175/Josh-Woods</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
