<p class="text-gray-700">Welker had a fantastic freshman year and has only built upon what he did as a freshman. He's a tough hard-hitting linebacker with good range and vision on the field. He's already surpassed 200 career tackles and 15 TFLs in just 2 years of Varsity ball. By the time he graduates, he could easily be one of the highest-decorated recruits in the class.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">It's hard not to be impressed with Andrews as he continues dominating the field. Entering year 2, there were big expectations, and he's blown them out of the water. With elite size and strength, he's able to do just about anything he wants on the field. With 115 tackles and 11.5 TFLs, it's clear Andrews is the real deal.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The star Concord back has also moved to defense, and it's clear Thomas belongs on the field. He never runs out of energy and reminds me of the Energizer Bunny. He just keeps going even when he should be out of energy. On the year Thomas has 1125 yards and 17 TDs on the ground with 109 tackles, 3.5 TFLs, 2.0 sacks, and 1 forced fumble. Wherever he is on the field he produces at a high level.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Wickens flashed some as a Freshman and got a little bit of work, but I'd be lying if I said I anticipated this level of play in year 2. He's turned into a tackling machine and is 1 step ahead of the offense. With a great feel for timing and getting off blocks, it's clear Wickens belongs. From 12 tackles as a freshman to 102 as a sophomore is about as good of a jump as you can make.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Boling is quietly putting together one of the better careers in the 2026 class, but since he's hidden down South doesn't get the eyes. This is year 2 of 100+ tackles and 10+ TFLs. He leads his defense and they turn to him for answers and he's not afraid to be vocal on the field. He's improved on his sophomore numbers and will very likely surpass 250 tackles and 25 TFLs over the past 2 years alone.</p>
