Difference Maker Linebackers in the Fall

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Linebacker is one of my favorite positions to watch on the football field. So much preparation goes into playing this position. I am excited for this 2025 class of Linebackers in the state of Mississippi. This is a good class that has a lot of talent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Marquavious Bradford","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"170","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Scott Central ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Bradford is 5'8u0022 tall and 170 lbs. Bradford does an excellent job of reading his keys and shedding blocks. By doing those two things it makes it very difficult for the opposing offense to get a solid block on him. He plays an aggressive yet disciplined style of linebacker. In 2023, Bradford finished with 159 total tackles. 75 of those tackles were solo and 84 of them were assists.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["920536"],"_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":"Norwood is 6'0u0022 tall and 200 lbs. Norwood has great eye discipline. He plays an old school physical style of defense. He gets to the ball carrier like a torpedo and does not let up. Something else that he does well as a middle linebacker is pass coverage. He is very solid when it comes to covering a slot receiver or a running back out of the backfield. In 2023, Norwood finished with 157 total tackles. 54 of those tackles were solo and 103 of them were assists.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Xavier Stowers","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_weight":"180","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Morton","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Stowers is 6'2u0022 tall and 180 lbs. Stowers can play the outside linebacker position or a Husky Safety type position. I personally see him at the next level as a husky safety. He has a nose for the ball and always seems to be around it. He is exceptional is pass coverage and does a good job against the run. His best asset against the run is not letting the opposing Offensive line set the edge. In 2023, Stowers finished with 143 total tackles. 95 of those tackles were solo while 48 were assists.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1351208' first='Devin' last='Tribble']","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_weight":"150","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Heidelberg","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Tribble is 5'9u0022 tall and 150 lbs. Tribble has great eye discipline. He does not get lost in the offenses deception very often. He is good at defending the run but is excellent in pass coverage. He can play both zone and man coverage exceptionally well. He is very physical and violent when he steps to defend to the run. In 2023, Tribble finished with 141 total tackles 131 of them were sole with 10 assists.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["379881"],"_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":"Walters is 6'2u0022 tall and 220 lbs. The best way to describe Walters is to call him a bull in a China cabinet. He is a man among boys when he is playing on Friday nights. He is the perfect combination of being fast and strong. He might be the most physical linebacker in this class. It's safe to say every offense that plays against Walters is aware where he is lined up on the field all night long. In 2023, Walters finished with 140 total tackles. 82 of those tackles were solo and he had 58 assists.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65b414f575d92"} /-->
