Dantzler is a very well rounded athlete with good explosion on both sides of the ball and is very technically sound as a pass rusher for a second year player. He has a quick first step, quickly shoots his hands with inside placement and lock out while able to violently get off blocks and maintain gap control. He shows solid COD abilities in the backfield and can redirect quickly while a good open field tackler and collapses the pocket quickly. The 2025 prospect is a high motor player with good toughness and closing speed that will only continue to see his stock rise. SMU was the first offer for the talented edge rusher and he should see other FBS offers roll in sooner rather than later.
Scheller is a dominant interior guy that wins with power, leverage and a strong initial strike at the POA. He is a well built together kid with a powerful lower body and in the short area while a plug in the middle of the defense. Scheller can play all over the defensive line, and projects anywhere in the 1-3 technique at the next level. He shows a high motor into the backfield and should see at-least FCS+ interest down the stretch and is one of the top defensive lineman across the state in the 2025 class.
Dillard-Allen is a true field safety and one of the more rangy and explosive prospects in the west region from the third level. He has been very busy this Spring and picked up more FBS offers offers from the likes of ASU, Arizona, Colorado State and Washington. He is a very fluid athlete in the backend that is a natural peddler with fluid hips in transition and breaks quickly to the ball in the air with ball skills/high point ability at the POA. When dropping into the box, he has a quick trigger and takes good angles into the backfield while exploding through contact and able to track down ball carriers backside with good pursuit. All around, he is a very well put together athlete with elite length and range and should be a multi-year impact player at the P5 level.
