Standing at 6'5 315, Debose already has a college-ready build that he uses to dominate smaller defenders on the line of scrimmage. In addition to his size, Debose has a tremendous amount of strength, power, and leverage he uses to put defenders into the dirt. It's easy to see, especially when Debose is blocking in the run game- he does a great job opening up wide lanes at the line of scrimmage and can climb from level to level to deal out some devastating blocks in the open field. In addition to his skills in the run game, Debose is a terrific pass-protector who doesn't allow for any pressure or hits on his quarterback. He does a great job setting his feet and uses his leverage and strength to keep some talented pass rushers outside of the pocket. Be sure to watch Debose this fall, he recently committed to Alabama and is heading into a huge senior year on Vigor's offensive line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["216858"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66b66aa6b2a77"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='216858' first='Jourdin' last='Crawford'] is one of the most dominant defensive linemen in the country- he's been outstanding for both Jackson-Olin and Parker over the last three years and is set up for a huge senior season this fall.
