This much needed review of talented players in the Eastern and Northeastern Regions of the state has been overdue. The players in the regions have been under-recruited for quite some time. The players in this three-part review will bring much needed exposure to the players for recruiting purposes. The review covers several of the top players in the regions.   [player_tooltip player_id='885126' first='Maurice' last='Bowser'] - LB, 6'0" 190 (No. 26 LB, Watchlist), Northeastern HS. Maurice displayed patience to let the play develop before reacting quickly to make stops. He displayed good lateral movement and quickness to close quickly on the ball carrier for stops. He finished last season with 60 total tackles, 50 which were solo tackles. The 2025 prospect should start to generate recruiting opportunities during participation in Summer Prospect Camps.   [player_tooltip player_id='327189' first='Roderick' last='B-Loftin'] - LB, 5'11" 190 (No. 40 LB, No. 320 Overall), Hunt HS. Roderick displayed good lateral movement and quickness to close in on the ball carrier for stops. He displayed good technique on tackles made in the open field. He finished last season with 151 total tackles, 64 which were solo tackles and 15 tackles for losses. The 2024 prospect should start to generate recruiting opportunities during participation in Summer Prospect Camps.   [player_tooltip player_id='206207' first='Justin' last='Brown'] - LB, 6'0" 215 (No. 28 LB, No. 222 Overall), White Oak HS. Justin displayed patience to let the play develop before reacting quickly to make stops. He displayed good lateral movement and speed to cover a lot of ground quickly to make stops. He finished last season with 129 total tackles, 79 which were solo tackles and 7 tackles for losses. The 2024 prospect should start to generate recruiting opportunities during participation in Summer Prospect Camps.   [player_tooltip player_id='876405' first='O'Marion' last='Lewis'] - DB, 6'3" 190 (No. 12 DB, No. 97 Overall), Tarboro HS. O'Marion played with his head on a swivel and good ability to change directions quickly to defend receivers against the pass. He displayed good technique and use of arms, making it difficult to complete a pass against him. The ECU commit is expected to continue his high level of play during the upcoming season.
