He can get off the line quick to make plays around the edge or fight through blocks to penetrate offensive backfields to string out runs. On film, Wiles showed patience on the edges, letting plays develop to avoid any seal blocks or back door plays when the line is moving in the opposite direction. Wiles is pretty fundamentally solid all around and deserves to be on scout radars.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://iframe%20src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14695638/654d495f90ef3801d47b288d'%20width='640'%20height='360'%20frameborder='0'%20allowfullscreen/iframeu0022u003eu003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14695638/654d495f90ef3801d47b288du0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreen=u0022allowfullscreenu0022u003eu003c/iframeu003eu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["408692"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003ca href=u0022https://x.com/caleb51862512?s=21u0026amp;t=6Trvp7Q9ugqlduc92IYZggu0022u003ehttps://x.com/caleb51862512?s=21u0026amp;t=6Trvp7Q9ugqlduc92IYZggu003c/au003ernrnDaniell is a big body and knows how to throw his weight around to play angles creating advantages on blockers, leading to 10 sacks his senior year. Playing both sides of the ball, Daniell's aggressiveness allows him to engage with his opponent first, putting them on their heels and using his strength to push them back. He is a downhill attacker who applies tons of pressure, which is a big reason that Yutan was a top-notch team at running the ball on offense and stopping the run on the defensive side.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://iframe%20src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14865778/636ff9d5a676c70a7c13b498'%20width='640'%20height='360'%20frameborder='0'%20allowfullscreen/iframeu0022u003eu003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14865778/636ff9d5a676c70a7c13b498u0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreen=u0022allowfullscreenu0022u003eu003c/iframeu003eu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["982417"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"After playing in just two games his junior year, Lasure burst onto the scene this year with 9 sacks and 4 fumble recoveries.

He understands gaps and has the ability to diagnose and attack relatively quickly. Adkins finished the year with 93 tackles, 11 of the for a loss and 7 sacks. He has a tremendous balance of when to be patient and when to attack, that allows him to be involved in most plays. Adkins athleticism was on full display as he made in an impact on both sides of the ball. Adkins talent translates to the next level and any college in need of an athletic linebacker would benefit with him on a roster.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://iframe%20src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14898017/6398cb16ff0353061c696374'%20width='640'%20height='360'%20frameborder='0'%20allowfullscreen/iframeu0022u003eu003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14898017/6398cb16ff0353061c696374u0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreen=u0022allowfullscreenu0022u003eu003c/iframeu003eu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["250301"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"An absolute hammer on the defensive line, Eckhardt's burst and hand technique to get around, or fight off blockers, is high level.

His explosiveness translates in his tackles as he makes impact like a pile of bricks, which lead to two fumbles caused during the season.

If you are a stat nerd like me then you would be just as surprised as I was that 6 of the top 10 players in sacks have very limited offers and are uncommitted seniors. I will spend a few lines in this article covering these seniors and what they bring to the football field and their team.
