Here is a look at five linebackers from the Class of 2024 who caught scout and coaches' eyes during the Ottawa Mega Camp and possibly improved their recruitment stock heading into their senior seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1181629' first='Carter' last='Morris']</strong>, MLB, 5'11”, 210, Bishop Carroll</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Morris is a physical and fast linebacker. He finished his junior season with 63 tackles. He is a solid pass defender and finished with two interceptions for Bishop Carroll during the 2022 season. At the Ottawa Camp Morris posted solid numbers in the testing portion of the day and multiple pairs of coaching eyes were watching him closely.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1180352' first='Wyatt' last='Holland']</strong>, LB, 6'0”, 185, Louisburg</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Holland is super dangerous on the blitz. He has been clocked at a 4.7 second forty. He wraps up and finishes tackles. Holland is listed as a fullback and defensive end, but linebacker is where he projects the best at the collegiate level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='145513' first='Braylen' last='Hoobler']</strong>, LB, 5'10”, 195, Eudora</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hoobler is a fast linebacker with really good movement side-to-side and closing speed from north to south.

He has received college offers but is uncommitted.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1183991' first='Benjamin' last='Kerr']</strong>, LB, 5'10”, 190, Iola</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Watching Kerr at the Ottawa Camp you could tell he is an athlete. Watching his Hudl highlights, one quickly can see that he likes to hit people. The Mustang prospect finishes tackles and reads the offense well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1183995' first='Gavin' last='Wilson']</strong>, ILB, 5'10”, 205, Trinity</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wilson is an impressive physical linebacker.
