<p><em>Tate is a talented linebacker out of Plant High. Through five games this season, he's been one of Tampa's best linebackers, tallying 55 tackles, 18 tackles for a loss, and five sacks! Tate is a prospect who reads plays quickly and gets to the ball in a hurry. He does a good job of sifting through traffic to make tackles and does a good job of squaring up and driving the ball carrier.</em></p>

<p><em>Svendsen is a prospect that I spotlighted before the season started, and I thought he would have a good year. He has not disappointed so far. Through four games, Svendsen has registered 31 tackles and an INT. He is a smart backer with very good instincts and flows quickly to the football. He shows the ability to drop into coverage and play passing lanes, reads the run quickly, and shows no hesitation attacking downhill.</em></p>

<p><em>Olsen has been a playmaker throughout the early portion of this season. This season, Olsen has torched opposing defenses with 25 receptions for 511 yards and seven touchdowns. Olsen is a very talented all-around receiver who does a good job adjusting to the ball. He runs good routes and gains instant separation after his release. He can make contested catches, showing strong hands and natural body control.</em></p>

Watson is a quick-twitch slot receiver who gets in and out of his breaks quickly and shows the ability to make plays after the catch. He has the speed (4.5 40) to make defenses pay when they make a mistake. He has nice short-area quickness, agility, and burst.</em></p>
