<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Who are some top 5A pass-rushers to know coming back for the 2024 season?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We've got the details below...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jadon Bishop Adams - Harris County</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If you're looking for an under the radar West Georgia defender, Bishop Adams might be your guy. An explosive EDGE defender who lived in the backfield last year, the Harris County defender was a sack machine this past fall as a junior and is easily one of the top overall pass-rushers returning for the 2024 season. He's coming off an eye-opening junior season where he made 14 sacks and pressured the quarterback 18 more times. In addition to his impressive sack total, Adams also made 57 tackles and 21 TFLs. He shed blocks with ease and is a natural when attacking the quarterback. He fires off the snap and gets into the backfield in a hurry. When in pursuit, Adams knows how to make a sound, physical tackle on the ball-carrier. He's got a lean 6-foot-3 200-pound frame with the ability to add even more muscle and mass over the next nine months. If he continues to progress and develop this off-season, he should have an even bigger season next year as a senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1085369' first='Tyshawn' last='Natt']</strong> <strong>- Kell </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A breakout defender to know in Cobb County, Natt is coming off an extremely productive season for the mighty Kell Longhorns an will be one of the top pass-rushers in 5A for next season. As a junior this past fall, the productive lineman made 10 sacks, showing he's one of the best pass-rushers in that classification and across the entire area. He also made 65 tackles and an outstanding 25 TFLs. He's a thick, powerful lineman with some versatility that will allow him to play even more positions next year as a senior along the defensive line. He can collapse the pocket and rush the quarterback from the inside, and he can move outside and beat opposing tackles off the edge as well. He can win battles with his deceptive burst and quickness of the snap, but he really flashes when he decides to just overpower his opponent. He plays with leverage and shows a tremendous motor as well. He'll only get better this off-season and should lead another impressive Kell defense next year as a senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='338665' first='Kelan' last='Butler'] - Jefferson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top 2025 defenders not only in the 5A class, but across Georgia, Butler is a future D1 defender with good size at 6-foot-3 215-pounds and big-time athleticism. A natural pass rusher with an excellent motor, the Jefferson Dragon defender is explosive off the snap, sheds blocks, and knows how to attack the ball-carrier. He knows how to deliver a big hit and lived in the backfield last fall as a junior. Helping lead the Dragons to a big 2023 season, Butler recorded six big sacks last year and is without a doubt one of the top 5A pass-rushers coming back next season. As a senior, you can expect Butler to put on a show next fall. He can set the edge in the run game, but his speed off the line and relentless motor is a big reason why he's a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks. He runs extremely well and has a frame that will allow him to continue adding good weight and muscle mass this off-season. Look for more offers to come his way as well over the next several months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
