Kaleb Coleman – DE/EDGE – 6’4″/225 – Trophy Club, TX (Byron Nelson)
Twitter: @kalebcoleman44
-NFL bloodlines as his Dad is Kenyon Coleman, former DE that played at UCLA and had an 11-year career in the league including with the Cowboys.
-Dad played at 6’5″/295 and at the moment, Kaleb stands at 6’4″/225 and is long and lean so potential there to possibly grow more and get bigger.
-Finished his JR year with solid production with 47-Tackles, 13-TFLs, 5-Sacks, 3-FFs, 3-FRs and 1-Interception in 10-games.
-A twitchy, explosive athlete off the edge who displays impressive speed in pursuit.
-This young mans motor runs hot and has effort type plays all over his film.
-Effective vs the run with his ability to stack and shed bigger OTs utilizing inside hand placement, length/strength at the POA and flashing violent shed ability at times.
-Flashes the power at times to reset the line of scrimmage and even the ability to long arm and shed as well.
-Displays a wreckless abandon with his body when he arrives at the ball.
-Love the violent play style he displays play in and play out on his clips.
-Plays 100 mph which plays into him being a disruptive force off the edge but also opportunistic in regard to turnovers.
-Would like to see him work on playing with better pad level more consistently which will only allow him to be more powerful/strong at the POA.
-You can see this young man loves to play football with how he plays the game and it’s only a matter of time before offers start coming through.
Kelton Thompson – EDGE – 6’4″/205 – Fort Worth, TX (O.D Wyatt):

-Long and lean prospect with the room to pack on more size/weight.
-Impressive athletic profile with the explosiveness, fluidity, flexibility, range and speed he brings off the edge.
-As you see below, he has the ability to get up and throw it down on the basketball court showing off the hops he brings.
-Flashes the ability to win off the edge in a multitude of ways.
-See him win with speed and flexibility, by converting speed to power, setting up OTs with inside/out counters and vice versa.
-Looks to have a solid motor and flashes smooth lateral movement as well.
-Would like to see him work on being more consistent with his timing/anticipation off the snap and utilize his hands more which will make him that much more difficult to deal with.
-Could also see him as an off the ball LB as well with the movement he flashes and the nose for the football you see.
-With the athletic traits he brings though, if he can get out to some camps this spring, don’t be surprised if you see his recruitment gain steam quickly.
Joseph Guevara – DE/EDGE – 6’4″/240 – Dallas, TX (Sunset):

-Versatile skill set as he plays on both sides of the ball and flashes ability to make plays at each.
-Lines up as an EDGE, off the ball LB, TE, H-Back and even as a RB as well.
-Really like the flexibility/bend he brings off the edge and see him flash it multiple times on film pairing with a chop as well as a dip move to win initially.
-Flashes quicks off the ball and displays a solid burst that you really see as a blitzing off the ball LB and when he is lined up as a pass catcher.
-Looks to have decent length on his arms.
-Shows to have good ball skills and solid route running ability with his change of direction/body control even showing a whip route to open his film.
-Also impressed with his ability to adjust to the ball whether in the air or looking back over his shoulder.
-Flashes the physicality/nasty mindset at the point of attack he brings as a blocker as well.
-Based off his clips and size he brings, like him more on the defensive side at this time as stand up EDGE or as a DE with his skillset but could see him getting looks on both sides of the ball as an H-Back as well.
-An intriguing prospect that definitely needs to be getting more attention.
