He is a versatile defensive lineman. He can provide you speed and power off the edge, but he also displays the strength to play inside and provide a pass rush there. You can see in his <em>X post</em> below that he has developed a few different pass rush moves that he can effectively use. When you watch his <em>Hudl</em> tape, you see he plays with violence and aggression through the whistle. I expect more offers will be coming for Xavier.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/XavierLewis21/status/1787614218147028997","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/XavierLewis21/status/1787614218147028997 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Simba Debnam-Pwiti</strong> | DE | 6'2" 220lbs<br>Enloe HS (NC) | Class of '25<br><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16053920/Simbarashe-DebnamPwiti" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> /</em> <em><a href="https://x.com/Simba14967020" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Simba is a speed rusher on the edge that forces offensive linemen to be patient and have good technique. Otherwise, he has the speed and quickness to swat their hands and dip his shoulder to win his rep. You see in his <em>Hudl</em> film that once he corners the offensive tackle, he can quickly close on the QB and finish with a sack or force an incompletion. Would love to see him develop his power rush heading into his senior season this fall. He has received <a href="https://x.com/Simba14967020/status/1790044200584507687" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a D1 offer from UCONN</a>. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Simba14967020/status/1777358938939519404","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Simba14967020/status/1777358938939519404 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1101213' first='Cameron' last='Harrison']</strong> | DL | 6'1" 250lbs<br>Rolesville HS (NC) | Class of '25<br><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/18343542/Cameron-Harrison" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/C_harrison88" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cam is a power interior rusher, and he showed that at the event even without a two-handed bull rush (which is against the rules to use at a 5v5 event), and he can also play on the edge.

Has a good rip move that will put offensive linemen off balance allowing him to shed the block and be in a position to make a play. His strength and size make him versatile to play across the defensive line. His <em>Hudl</em> film shows him consistently in the offensive backfield making plays and being around the football. Heading into his sophomore season this fall, he currently stands at 6'0", he holds his weight very well and has room to keep developing his body. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1038348' first='Jayden' last='Fry']</strong> | DE | 6'3" 215lbs<br>Rolesville HS (NC) | Class of '25<br><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16936044/Jayden-Fry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/jayden1fry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jayden has a mix of speed and speed-to-power rush moves he utilizes.
