Five '24 Linebackers who could earn D1 Offers this Fall

<p>The class of 2024 is loaded with talented linebackers. In fact, the current rankings have 14 Linebackers with at least 1 Division 1 offer. These five linebackers are all DII talents, but if they continue to perform well this Summer and into the Fall, I could see any of these guys going D1. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='248833' first='Cody' last='Raymond'] | Utica Eisenhower | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15089957/Cody-Raymond/about">Hudl</a></h2>   <p>I know Cody has a Ball State offer, but besides that, he's a high-end GLIAC guy. He's a super reactive and aggressive Mike linebacker who is a TFL machine. He's one of those LBs that just knows what's up. He attacks and has super impressive speed for his size. By tape alone, honestly looks better than a lot of MAC-offered guys. GV and Ferris absolutely know what's up with Cody, and I would not be surprised in the slightest if he ends up getting many more MAC or similar offers. </p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='665536' first='Colin' last='Main'] | Frankenmuth | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15059281/Colin-Main/about">Hudl</a></h2>   <p>For sure more of a pass-rush type OLB; [player_tooltip player_id='665536' first='Colin' last='Main'] has some great skills that I love. He's currently got offers from Northwood and Lawrence Tech, and if he goes to either of those programs, that's a steal in my book. Rushing the passer, Colin has a good array of power/speed moves that consistently win against blockers. In the run game, he's powerful and reactive enough to shed blocks and get where he needs to be for a TFL. I still think Collin is more of a high-end DII prospect, but with another amazing season, do not be surprised if he goes D1. </p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='814546' first='Isaiah' last='Veatch'] | Waterford Mott | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15236309/Isaiah-Veatch/about">Hudl</a></h2>   <p>Veatch is a super well-built linebacker for an otherwise lacking Mott defense. He's a hard-hitting linebacker when he correctly diagnoses a play and attacks. Movement-wise, there were times this offseason when he was a tad stiff, but overall, he moves super well. I think his reaction time could be a tad better. Overall, I would not be shocked if Isaiah took off this fall and showed massive improvements. If that happens, he could get MAC attention. Right now, he's a solid DII guy for me. </p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='824219' first='Andrew' last='Baker'] | Mona Shores | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16136901/Andrew-Baker/about">Hudl</a></h2>   <p>Whenever I talk about a player in the OK-Green, I must mention it's one of the most talented leagues in Michigan because I feel the West Side is a bit overlooked other than the colleges that reside here. But yes, [player_tooltip player_id='824219' first='Andrew' last='Baker'] is a dominant linebacker who plays in a league comparable to the MAC-Red or OAA-Red. I've seen Andrew a few times this offseason, and I'm impressed by his athleticism and pass-coverage ability. On film, he shows much more of his ability to rush the passer and stuff the run. Andrew is a sure-fire DII prospect for me. Like everyone on this list, he could play up to MAC tier with a great season. </p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='248788' first='Ryan' last='Relyea'] | Romeo | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/7810157/Ryan-Relyea/about">Hudl</a></h2>   <p>Ryan is a tad more of a reach than some of these guys, but Romeo is known for developing their defensive players. He's a straight-up solid linebacker with great tackling technique and no major weaknesses. He currently has one Division II offer and could get more soon. </p>
