Continue ReadingHoward Daniels Howard Daniels 6’1″ | 170 lbs | DB Gardendale | 2025 State AL is a high flying safety out of Gardendale that made a ton of plays in their secondary last fall. Daniels was a massive asset to Gardendale’s defense, he has terrific instincts, eyes, hands, and play recognition that allow him to consistently break up passes against a wide variety of receivers. Daniels has excellent anticipation, he patiently waits for plays to develop and will use his quick speed to maneuver around the field to make plays. It doesn’t matter if the offense is running or passing the ball, Daniels has the ability to quickly locate, react, and effect the ballcarrier on every snap. Last fall was a big year for Daniels, he ended up recording 46 total tackles (6 for loss) and 2 sacks while also providing lockdown coverage on some great receivers across the state. With production and play like that, schools have come out and sent offers to the junior playmaker. Recently, Daniels has picked up a fair share of attention from programs at the next level- he currently lists offers from Grambling State, Georgia Southern, Ball State, and more!
Caleb Pitts Caleb Pitts 6’4″ | 260 lbs | DL Auburn | 2025 State AL is a really talented defensive end for Auburn that dominated the trenches all last fall. Pitts stands at 6’3 260 and utilizes every bit of his size when he’s on the line of scrimmage, he consistently outmatches smaller offensive linemen to routinely make plays in opposing backfields. Pitts has a great first step, aggressive hands, and a lot of power that he uses to bully offensive linemen. Frequently on tape, Pitts can be found flying by blocks to make some crucial tackles against the run. If he’s not playing the run, Pitts is also a valuable pass rusher as well- he can provide consistent pressure and get sacks throughout all four quarters. Last fall, Pitts had his best season yet- recording 60 total tackles (43 solo, 12 for loss), 20 pressures, 6 sacks, and 2 fumble recoveries. With how well he’s been playing Pitts has been getting his name out there in the recruiting world- recently picking up offers from Jacksonville State, Tulane, Florida Atlantic, and more!
PaLanding Drammeh PaLanding Drammeh 6’2″ | 285 lbs | DL Hoover | 2025 State AL has developed into one of the top interior defensive linemen in the state, what he was able to accomplish at Hoover last season was super impressive and sets him up for a huge senior year. Drammeh is a monster against the run- he’s extremely powerful, explodes off the line of scrimmage, and closes running lanes with incredible ease. Almost every snap, Drammeh finds himself in the backfield making tackles for loss- it’s super impressive how much of an impact he alone has on anything going up the middle. When going against the pass, Drammeh does a great job not just by generating pressure, but by opening up opportunities for his teammates as well. So much of the offensive line’s attention goes directly towards him and allows Drammeh’s teammates on the front to feast off lesser matchups. With how well he’s been playing, Drammeh has racked in a good amount of collegiate attention recently- he currently lists offers from Samford, Austin Peay, Troy, Jacksonville State, and more!
Highlights
Donjavion Brown Donjavion Brown LB Carver | 2025 State AL had himself a stellar junior season last fall where he was a tackling machine for Carver- it didn’t matter who they faced, he was a constant factor and found a way to make plays. Brown is a maniac out on the field that has a phenomenal ability to make plays from sideline to sideline- it doesn’t matter where he initially lines up or what the offense is doing, Brown is able to quickly react and track down the ball carrier to bring them down. Against the run, Brown is phenomenal- he can easily fit into lanes and stop running backs dead in their tracks, and if they get to the open field he has the speed and athleticism to catch up and make plays as well. Brown is excellent in pursuit, he plays with a ton of effort and tenacity, all of which shows up on tape. Last fall, Brown had his best year yet where he ended up recording a staggering 131 total tackles (90 solo, 31 for loss) and 7 sacks. Keep an eye on him as he heads into his senior year, he is a prospect with a ton of potential!
