The players below exemplified some high level play last season which caught the attention of many. In a deep class of very good players, these guys stood out and showed that they deserve some praise for what they do on the field. Take note of these names and prepare for what is to come next season!
Jaxson Dicus
Jaxson Dicus
Dicus holds down the middle of the defense with pride and aggression. He is an excellent read and reactor, constantly shuffling his feet waiting for the time to attack exposed runners. He shows very good acceleration and is physical going downhill. Dicus shows half body when attacking blockers, giving himself a better chance to defeat the blocks, see the ball, and make a play. He displayed good COD and pursuit when the play is not going his way. Dicus showed much promise and hopefully this play carries over to next season.
Poe is a very active and agile linebacker. He is quick and shows good play recognition, and keeps everything in front of him. In the run game, Poe is aggressive and fights through blocks to make plays. He is elusive and sheds blocks with ease and quickness. Poe tackles very well in the phone booth and has great sideline to sideline speed. He is a player who can put up another 100+ tackle season again with the way he plays on the field.
Carlos Willis
Carlos Willis
Willis is a strong, aggressive backer who shows good lateral speed. Willis is relentless getting to the ball and making sure ball carriers are stopped in their tracks. He brings much force behind his hits, making his presence felt and bringing energy to the defense. Willis takes on blocks fearlessly and fights through them when the opportunity presents itself. It will be exciting to see what he has done this offseason to improve his game for next season.
Breylon Wyatt
Breylon Wyatt
Wyatt is a man on a mission when he hits the field. Plays with a hair on fire mentality and gets the job done. Wyatt is fast off the edge and can play just as well in the nickel. He is a versatile player who can fit in anywhere on the field and you will see production. His quickness and pursuit to the ball makes him a valuable part of a strong defense and it will be nice to see his role increase for next season.
