Class of 25 Tackling Machines with Good Size

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Redzone takes a look at some rising Seniors that stand at 6'0 210+ and were productive on the field last season as Juniors. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='415048' first='Mac' last='Bradley']</strong> - 2025 Linebacker - Prince Ave </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bradley comes in as the #15 ranked LB in the 2025 Class. Good size at 6'1 220 and had a very productive Junior campaign. Registered 116 solo tackles with 12 TFL for the 3x State Champion Wolverines. Outstanding tackler that gets downhill fast and hits hard. Great vision with excellent play reading instincts. A workout warrior that has eclipsed the magic 300 PC mark. Bradley is a multisport athlete that is also a good player on the diamond, playing C and OF, as well as in the classroom where he sports a 4.0 GPA. His recruiting has really taken off this Spring with offers from Mercer, Arkansas St., Central Michigan, and Furman among others. A physical, fast, instinctive MLB that has developed in a great program at PAC. Huge Senior season on tap. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='706633' first='Jake' last='Thorner']</strong> - 2025 Linebacker - Walton</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6'3 225 LB is someone that always seems to pop on my radar every time I sit down to evaluate players. Great production on the field last season with 83 solo tackles and 11 TFL for Raiders who were State Runner Ups in Georgia's highest classification. Old school type guy who has good vision and gets downhill quick and is a decisive tackler. Not only can he make plays up the middle, but he has the speed to cover RB out of the backfield and make plays sideline to sideline. Thorner would definitely be on my short list of under recruited players in the 2025 class. Arkansas St, Ball St. and Western Michigan have come through with offers this Spring. An under rated LB prospect that has produced on the field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1085373' first='Everett' last='Currie'] </strong>-2025 Linebacker- Sprayberry</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6'0 220 pound linebacker caught our staff's attention early last Fall. He opened the season last year with a 23 total tackle performance verse Campbell. He finished the season with 127 TT with 6.5 TFL and vaulted into the Prep Redzone Top 200 and the #28 overall linebacker ranking. It's obvious that he spends time in the weight room with a solid muscled physique. One of the most physical tacklers I watched on film while writing this piece. Attacks the ball carrier with passion and attitude. Currie has the quickness to pursue sideline to sideline and is able to drop back in coverage. We look for his recruiting to pick up this Summer and Fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ethan Lester</strong> - 2025 Linebacker - Union County</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lester is an unknown prospect tucked away in the North Georgia mountains. The 6'1 210 LB had a productive season last Fall for the Panthers totaling 127 TT with 8 TFL. He had a game high 19 solo tackles in a win over Athens Academy in October. He has good vision and patiently awaits for the play to develop. Good first step with good acceleration and is physical at the point of contact. Has the athleticism to drop back in coverage. Lester is definitely a player I will add to my radar this season. Union County is in my coverage area so I will get to put eyes on him in person this Fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
