Showing that he can stay right on RB's hip pockets and also covers slot receivers very well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Great mobility with fluid hips and quick feet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Sai'Quan is only a sophomore and already has a solid frame for a LB with room to continue building and adding bulk to his frame.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":1125939,"width":"314px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/12/IMG_2182.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1125939" style="width:314px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1118464' first='Austin' last='Robinson'] | 2025 | DB | Raymore-Peculiar (MO) | 5'11" 155 lbs </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14971697/Austin-Robinson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/1AustinRobinson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- 4.71 40-yard dash, 4.31 shuttle drill, 9'5" broad jump, and 7.04 L-drill.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Austin is another player who emerged as one of the top overall players in the building after showing off his DB skills and posting one of the top testing sessions of the day.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Robinson displayed a great mix of physicality, lightning-quick reflexes, and fluidity, which should translate to the next level very well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- He did not shy away from being physical in coverage, proving he can play press and use his hands very well to break up passes and disrupt receivers. Also worth noting is that Austin does a good job keeping his aggressiveness from being reckless. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":1125820,"width":"329px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/12/44-Koby-Le-e1703375710740.jpg?w=861" alt="" class="wp-image-1125820" style="width:329px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='268059' first='Koby' last='Le'] | 2025 | DL | Emporia (KS) | 6'0" 238 lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16109878/Koby-Le" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/Koby_le25" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- 5.25 40-yard dash, 4.88 shuttle drill, 7'6" broad jump, and 8.22 L-drill.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- All-effort team! Whenever I watched Koby in a drill or 1v1, he seemed to really attack that rep and get the most out of it. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Koby's overall strength was eye-opening! He has a powerful, compact frame that can generate a lot of force from his hips/anchor all the way up through his hands when making initial contact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Quick to get off the line and is extremely smart with his hand use. He used different pass-rush approaches when battling different linemen. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":1125796,"width":"322px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/12/21-Skyler-Slaton-e1703376341620.jpg?w=597" alt="" class="wp-image-1125796" style="width:322px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1136460' first='Skyler' last='Slaton'] | 2025 | DL | Branson (MO) | 6'2" 237 lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14971601/Skyler-Slaton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/skyler_slaton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- 5.02 40-yard dash, 4.69 shuttle drill, 9'2" broad jump, and 8.0 L-drill.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- "Right off the bus" type of guy.
