Nehf is strong at the point of attack and plays with good leverage. He has good size for the defensive tackle position at 6-1, 318 lbs. Nehf shows good explosiveness when taking on blockers. His play strength combined with his explosiveness allows for him to drive any blocker back. Nehf is strong against the run and has played a key role in DeWitt being good at stopping the run. Nehf will play a key part in the DeWitt defense being good again in 2024.
JayIxon McAllister | Grand Ledge | 2025 | Hudl
McAllister has very good agility and lateral movement. This allows him to play the read option well. He shows good burst and has the ability to shoot into the backfield and create tackles for no gain. McAllister shows a natural feel for rushing the passer. I love how quickly he can get off blocks and make tackles. McAllister lines up outside at the defensive end position. This is a position he can really thrive in with his size and athleticism.
Kharon Turnley Kharon Turnley 6'0" | 190 lbs | DL Lansing Everett | 2025 MI | Lansing Everett | 2025 | Hudl
Turnley can get off the line of scrimmage in a hurry. He is an excellent tackler who does a good job of going low and making strong secure tackles. He has very good pursuit and does a great job of tracking down ball carriers. He has good play strength and can take on blockers well. Turnley is a good athlete who can jump up and deflect passes. Turnley is very strong against the run and can disrupt opposing offenses.
Sam Corey Sam Corey 6'2" | 195 lbs | ATH Mason | 2025 State MI | Mason | 2025 | Hudl
Corey is a physical football player who shows good ability to rush the quarterback from the defensive end position. Corey is very good against the run making defenders pay for running towards him. Corey is a good athlete who shows good lateral movement. He sets the edge well and shows the ability to take on and defeat blocks. Corey has good speed and shows the ability to track down ball carriers. I like his game a lot and expect him to one of the main play makers on the Mason defense once again in 2024.
Alan Mrva | Corunna | 2025 | Hudl
Mrva is strong at the point of attack. Mrva gets off the snap well and does a good job of stopping the run. He has ideal size for the defensive end position at 6-2, 240 lbs. I like Mrva’s ability to rush with power. Like Turnley, Mrva shows the ability to jump up and deflect passes. Mrva does show a natural feel for rushing the passer. I like his game a lot and you really see why this Corunna football team was so good this past season. Mrva also plays offensive guard for Corunna on offense and is very strong on that side of the ball as well. Look for him to make a lot of plays in 2024 and be a key part in Corunna be a strong offensive team with his blocking ability.
