Spotlight Series: 2024 Defensive Line

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's time to flip to the opposite side of the ball, where you will find some dominant defensive lineman in the 2024 class. These 5 players may be the most impressive representation of their position thus far in the Spotlight Series. Each one of these players is elite. Don't be surprised if you hear all of their names on Saturday afternoons come fall 2024. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["366484"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='366484' first='Jordan' last='Thomas'] is a disruptor of offenses. I encourage you to watch his junior year highlights below. Not only is he capable of throwing offensive linemen around, but he can proceed to run the ball carrier down from behind. That is elite strength and speed for a man of his size. Jordan's talent has not gone unnoticed, as he is highly recruited by mutliple programs across the nation.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63fe77b31aaef"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16221321/638a1f057bdd52065868c59e' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63fe77b31ab60"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["379680"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='379680' first='Elijah' last='Kinsler'] is a speedster.

He also has an incredibly long reach, and uses every inch of it to extend himself away from potential blockers.

As much as I want to spread the exposure across the entire state, it's hard to pass up on a player of Lamont's caliber. Playing outside linebacker and defensive end, I see him playing multiple roles when he gets to the next level. Lamont has amazing quickness off the ball, he's aggressive, and he attacks the ball carrier. This man will run sideline to sideline with the best of them.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63fe77b31ac70"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14810503/6383cfdd0dc1910d743d6cb7' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003ev","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63fe77b31ac99"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["321786"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Another athlete with incredible quickness, Brahim Wynn will make a great addition to whichever college program gets his talent.
