Dequarious Truss, Winterboro
Truss is a very aggressive, but disciplined linebacker. I love the way he reads his keys. He also has a mean attack when he approaches a ball carrier. Truss also does a great job in zone coverage. He doesn’t do a lot of guessing. You can see that Truss understands his assignment. He also makes an impact when he is on a blitz. Truss does not mess around with blockers. He sheds blocks, and gets to the rock.
Bishop Rellah, Pelham
Rellah plays the game very hard. Rellah is aggressive. He is the definition of everything a good linebacker can be. However, I am very impressed with his speed. Watching his film, I noticed that he is very fast. He closes on runners quickly. Rellah has the speed to be very good in man coverage. It also helps him have more flexibility in zone coverage.
Braylen Jones, Muscle Shoals
Jones is a stud that knows how to get after the rock. He is a 6-foot-1, 195-pound prospect who knows how to play his position. Jones could possibly be a hybrid safety/linebacker on the next level. Last season he had over 110 tackles with 9 sacks. He has a great football IQ and is always around the rock. He has a lot of speed. That also helps him make plays. This kid is a guy to keep up with.
Exavion Bradley, Escambia Co
Bradley is a guy who knows how to protect the outside. He gets to the point of attack very fast. He makes the right reads. Bradley is a guy that brings runners down on contact. He has some long arms that don’t allow blockers to get in on his body. Bradley does a good job in coverage. He needs to work on getting those hips more flexible. Needs to make sure he can go from side to side with ease. I think he is a guy who definitely can help a team out on the next level.
Kevin Hale, Tanner
Hale is a smaller guy playing linebacker for his team. He gets after it on the field. I think he is a guy who is going to play safety on the next level. He is very aggressive. He also does a good job in coverage. I don’t think he is going to be a linebacker. However, he will be a great defensive back.
