Whitlow is a strong, powerful rusher. Against pass blocking, you see him blow up offensive lineman, pushing them back into the quarterback. But he shows it against the run as well. I very rarely saw him losing ground. Even when matched up against multiple blockers. Whitlow was more than strong enough to hold his ground. I loved the way that Whitlow comes off the snap. Mix that with his strength and you had a great ability to really disrupt a play.
Highlights
Harper shows a solid release getting off the line, even against press coverage. Time and time again, he showed the ability to drop his hips and cut on a dime. He is smooth when changing direction and/or speed to change up the route. He has all the tools required to run any and every route in the route tree. Not only was Harper solid on basic catches, but he was able to box out corners and go up for contested catches. One of the biggest reasons for his success on contested catches was his body control. The way that he was able to adjust himself in midair at times to get to off target throws was extremely impressive.

Athleticism is Kyler strength. When watching his film, his athleticism looked pretty average. But more often than not, it was enough to get the job done. He does a good job of staying light on his feet and keeping his pad level low. This allows him to close out on players very quickly and minimize yardage gained. In man coverage, he also has good acceleration in short-field areas to catch up to his target if beaten off their break.
Roman Gagliano Roman Gagliano 6’3″ | 210 lbs | QB Opelika | 2024 State AL is very accurate when he is throwing the ball for short-intermediate gains. When throwing the ball in non-contested areas, he does a good job of throwing a ball that will maximize yards gained after the catch. In the middle of the field, he can place the ball either directly in front of the receiver or directly at his chest. When completing short throws outside of the hashes, he does a good job of making throws only his receiver can catch.

Isaiah Hill is an excellent tackler, that’s good news for a linebacker. He’s a hard hitter, running backs don’t want to see him in the hole and receivers don’t want to see him over the middle. Along with big thumping hits, he’s a wrap up tackler. Once he gets his hands on an opposing player, the play is usually over. He’s talented enough to stand out as a great tackler among linebackers, you know where tackling is the biggest part of their job.
