Continue ReadingVillarreal is 5’10” tall and 185 lbs. Villarreal is a stud for the North Ponotoc defense. He seems to always find himself in the right place at the right time. He does a great job of anticipating and know where the ball is about to go. He is a force in the middle of the field.
Highlights
Devin Tribble
Devin Tribble
Tribble is 5’9″ tall and 150 lbs. In 2023, Tribble finished with 141 total tackles 131 of them were sole with 10 assists. Tribble has great eye discipline. He is excellent in pass coverage. He is one of the few linebackers that I have seen his class that cover just about anyone coming out of the backfield and the slot receiver. He is very physical and violent when he steps to defend to the run.
Taylor is 6’2″ tall and 220 lbs. Taylor is one of my favorite players in this class. He is one of the more dominate linebackers I have seen play in this class. He is dominate off the edge when he is rushing the quarterback. He is a difference maker on the defensive side of the ball. Without Taylor Biggersville doesn’t have the season they had in 2023.
Highlights
Xavier Stowers
Xavier Stowers
Stowers is 6’2″ tall and 180 lbs. In 2023, Stowers finished with 143 total tackles. 95 of those tackles were solo while 48 were assists. He is one of those guys that can play a traditional linebacker position or can also line up as bigger safety. He does a great job of defending both the pass and the run. Stowers is one of those kids who has a high football IQ and finds himself around the ball all the time.
Walters is 6’2″ tall and 220 lbs. He might be the most physical linebacker in this class. It is an absolute joy to watch Walters play the game of football. He does a great job of reading his keys and is fundamentally one of the better players of reading his keys. In my eyes he is the prototypical inside linebacker. His footwork and his physicality sets him apart from others in his class.
