[player_tooltip player_id='1131012' first='James' last='Bryant'] III Lutheran North -5'11" 182 Testing Results: 4.4 pro agility - 30" vertical jump Talented freshman linebacker that goes full speed at all times. James is fast, quick, explosive and showed great power and agility in his testing at the combine. He really locks in to competition in drills and in one on ones. He runs down hill and likes to hit in games but he showed he also has good cover skills. Played varsity and excelled. Bryant recorded 91 tackles and had 11 sacks.   [player_tooltip player_id='1198809' first='Jack' last='Bussmann'] Hickman - 6'0" 188 Testing Results: 5.0 40 - 4.38 pro agility - 9'2" broad jump - 28" vertical jump One of the most impressive freshman at the combine overall with his physical development, athleticism and skill set he displayed. Has a good knowledge of the game already to go with being the most athletic testing among the '27 LBs. Jack his physical quick, strong and explosive. He has a good frame and a player to watch as he continues to develop the next three years.   [player_tooltip player_id='1188298' first='Ty' last='Doherty'] Francis Howell - 5'11" 215 Testing Results: 5.2 40 - 4.7 pro agility Another freshman LB with a bright future. I saw Ty play a couple games on his freshman team and he was a force. He's a physical, big hitter with good size who can run well. Doherty brought the same intensity he has in games to the combine and tested well, looked really good in drills, showed a good football IQ and the ability to cover backs in one on one competition.   [player_tooltip player_id='1198106' first='Tyler' last='Bishop'] Ft. Zumwalt West 5'11" 175 Testing Results: 4.7 pro agility - 27" vertical Bishop may have one of the quickest first steps off the edge of any player in the St. Louis area. He played a DE/EDGE position as a freshman but came and worked at linebacker and definitely looked the part in drills and competition. Ty his a good athlete with nice lateral quickness and explosion. He runs well and showed the ability to pass cover.
