Never Before Covered – 2024 DL’s

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I am doing a review of defensive linemen who have not received written coverage. The 5 defensive linemen in this review have displayed the skills to fight through being double-teamed, shutting down inside running plays, and disrupting plays before they develop. The 5 defensive linemen are overdue for recognition for their performances on the field.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='428449' first='Elijah' last='Hawkins'] - 5'11" 250 (No. 28 DL, No. 203 Overall), East Forsyth HS</strong>. Elijah displayed good technique and use of hands to control blockers while moving past them for stops. He finished the season with 24 total tackles, 2.5 which were for losses. He had 6 solo tackles during the season. Elijah will continue to improve his skillset as he gains valuable playing experience. He should generate some recruiting interest as he participates in Summer Prospect Camps.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='525516' first='Jahdae' last='Laurenceau'] - 6'3" 230 (No. 29 DL, No. 204 Overall), Cary HS</strong>. Jahdae displayed good technique and use of hands to control blockers while moving past them for stops. He finished the season with 30 total tackles, 7 of which were for losses. He had 9 solo tackles during the season. Jahdae will continue to improve his skillset as he gains valuable playing experience. He should generate some recruiting interest as he participates in Summer Prospect Camps.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='572266' first='William' last='Holland'] - 6'3" 325 (No. 30 DL, No. 205 Overall), South Brunswick HS</strong>. William was injured for a large portion of the season. He returned late in the season to compete. William had an impressive performance at the PRZ StockUp Showcase. He was clearly the top defensive lineman participating at the combine. William will continue to improve his skillset as he gains valuable playing experience. He is already generating recruiting interest, which should pick up as he participates in Summer Prospect Camps.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='535502' first='Henry' last='Hicks'] - 6'1" 255 (No. 31 DL, No. 206 Overall), Northampton Co. HS</strong>. Henry displayed good technique and use of hands to control blockers while moving past them for stops. He finished the season with 44 total tackles, 3 which were for losses. He had 12 solo tackles during the season. Henry will continue to improve his skillset as he gains valuable playing experience. He should generate some recruiting interest as he participate in Summer Prospect Camps.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='601616' first='Trent' last='Lytle'] - 6'3" 320 (No. 32 DL, No. 207 Overall), East Chapel HS</strong>. Trent displayed good technique and use of hands to control blockers while moving past them for stops. He moves well in tight spaces and will use his quickness and upper body strength to shut down inside running plays. He will continue to improve his skillset as he gains valuable playing experience. Trent should generate some recruiting interest as he participates in Summer Prospect Camps.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
