Wednesday Waymakers Alabama (5/10/23)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This segment will be discussing the guys who make things happen for their team. These guys find a way to make plays for their teams when times are hard. We are also showing the offensive linemen some love in this feature. We all know the big boys make ways for their running backs to shine.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1620919' first='ZJ' last='Grady'], LB, Beauregard, 2025</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Grady has a very high motor. When their kickoff team hits the field, he is the first one down field trying to make the tackle. Grady is very active with his hands from the release. He keeps his team going on defense. He is a player coaches love to have. His stock should start rising soon. He is a guy to know. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Xavier Havis, ATH, Albertville, 2024</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There is nothing like finding a very versatile player. Havis is a guy that can line up at several different positions. I think he is going to be a hybrid LB/S on the next level. Havis has good hips that will allow him to bebvery efficient in coverage. Havis has the size to come up and be supportive in rushing the pass as well as run supportive. He is going to see his stock rise after this season. He is a guy to know. I think he is a division one prospect flying under the radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='816967' first='DeAndre' last='Williams'], LB, Mortimer Jordan, 2024</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williams plays the game the old school way. He gets behind his pads to make big hits. He keeps his shoulders square at the line. Williams does a good job of getting a nice drop in coverage on passing plays. He has some nice size at 6-foot, 230 pounds. He knows how to read plays. Williams gets to the ball with anger. I love the way he sheds blocks then gets to the ball carrier.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Zachary Taylor, DL, St Michael, 2024</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Taylor is very fundamental on the defensive line. He does the things the right. When his opponent blocks down, he doesn't go straight up field. He knows how to crash down and stick to his assignment. Taylor is going to receive some division one attention soon. I think he is going to be an interior defensive lineman on the next level. He is very ruthless in the trenches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
