He has tons of Varsity experience and is a high IQ kid with a downhill vertical play style and explosive near the ball. Felder also shows he can apply pressure off the edge or up the middle with good timing, natural bend and is not afraid to run through contact near the LOS and take on pullers/second level blockers. The 3-star prospect has an offer from Campbell and should see other FCS schools come in and offer through his Senior season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":846151,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Mason Kelly","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Folsom","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64762b2e1e1cf"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kelly is one of the better linebackers across Norcal and is a top player on one of the best teams in the state. He is a well built kid with good closing speed, open field tackling abilities and can play both inside or outside linebacker and is not afraid to play violent in the box. On tape, he shows that he can sniff out plays quickly, flashes good movement abilities at the second level and can redirect quickly while showing backside pursuit and a big time motor. He is a very smart player that can dig out screens/draws with a quick trigger and also shows cover abilities as well in the flats with good ball skills when breaking. Kelly should see FCS interest come his way and is a no brainer impact player in college. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Josh Tsai","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Campolindo","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64762b2e1e258"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tsai anchors the defense for one of the best teams in Norcal, and has been a multi-year starter for the Cougars. He plays all over the defensive front but could find his home as a DPR guy in college due to his size, pass rush abilities and length off the edge. He is a very explosive player with active hands, bend off the edge and closes space quickly while a sound open field tackler. He shows that he can win with both power and length at the POA while able to bull/speed to power consistently and knows when to counter back inside. One of the more versatile defenders in the region, he is a no brainer next level player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
