Senior Spotlight: DL

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Take a look at 5 senior DL as they head into their senior seasons: <img class="wp-image-860296" style="width: 300px" src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/06/PRZGeneric-2.jpg" alt=""></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='158344' first='AJ' last='Tanupo'], Eastside Catholic</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tanupo is an absolute menace up front for Eastside Catholic and is projecting to be a sure game changer this fall. Division 1 caliber kid with offers from Arizona, Idaho, Montana State, and Portland State. I'm shocked he only has 4 offers, as I think he is an easy double digit offer type of player. Excellent size and frame at 6'3" 265lbs with tremendous play strength and plays with a mean streak. Big time player with loads of potential that deserves to see many more offers pour in. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='915283' first='Brenton' last='Handsford'], Capital</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Handsford is a very athletic DE and an extremely disruptive player with his pass rush. Quick, fast, strong kid that shows a ton of burst. Really good build at 6'3" 220lbs and he doesn't let his size overcome his athleticism. Good football IQ for pass/run read at the snap and flashes violent hands to knock OT's off balance and use that burst and speed to immediately burst through. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='915292' first='Ty' last='Evans'], Timberline </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Evans is a massive kid at 6'4" 270lbs and possesses excellent strength at the POA with a big striking ability when he can get squared up. Frequently bullies offensive linemen with that play strength with a terrific bull rush. Excellent initial ball get off and he does a great job exploding through the hips at the POC while utilizing that powerful lower half. Ideal type of kid that you'd want at NG and a 3-Tech as his quickness and strength off the snap gives him a massive upside and advantage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/SickestHbk/status/1670303499396186112?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/SickestHbk/status/1670303499396186112?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='509850' first='Sage' last='Lone Bear'], Clarkston </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Along with having one of coolest names I've ever heard, Lone Bear holds 3 offers from Montana Tech, Carroll College, and Morgan State. He sizes up at 6'4" 280lbs and also plays OL and long snaps. Naturally strong kid that frequently overpowers his opponents and plugs up the inside run on the regular. Expecting a big 2023 season from Lone Bear. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='158369' first='Jayden' last='Wells'], Mount Si</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wells comes off a solid junior campaign where he racked up 50 tackles, 6 TFL's, and 5 sacks. As he heads into his senior year, I expect his role and productivity to make a huge leap. He has very stout, strong build at 6'2" 280lbs. He plays with a chip on his shoulder and possesses some legit raw ability with a mean, nasty demeanor, and if he can put it all together this fall he could have a breakout senior season. He flashes a bit of everything you look for in a disruptive DL, including excellent strength at the POA, and has a legit opportunity to draw in some offers this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
