The Junior linebacker was all over the field last weekend against Red Mountain, and had 10+ tackles, two tackles for loss and was applying pressure from various angles both off the edge and up the middle. He is a true thumper inside that can run with slots/backs and is also able to take on lead blockers and scrape over the top while a sure tackler in space. He is a terrific overall athlete with solid COD abilities and cover skills while able to bang in the box.

Escandon is a bit undersized for the position, but leads the defense for one of the top teams on the west coast. He is a no brainer next level kid that can make an impact on a college roster at inside linebacker and is a true plug that plays a lot bigger than he is and is a high motor kid that consistently plays with violence. He had another stellar performance Friday night, going for 10+ tackles and a scoop and score against Centennial. He holds two offers from Lewis and Clark and Western New Mexico and it would not surprise me if he got a late FCS roster spot as we near the second National Signing Day.
