<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our 2026 rankings dropped last Thursday, and a boatload of talent was added. These prospects come from all around the state and come in all shapes and sizes. Today, I wanted to focus on the linebacker room and which guys I think could see their stock rise. These guys all put together quality sophomore films, but I think their junior tape will be even better.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As always, If you have someone you think I need to see, please DM them to me on Twitter at @hsfbscout!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Caleb Mooring, 6'1" 215, Vandegrift</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mooring is strong taking on blocks at the point of attack, he takes smart angles to the tackle and has some serious pop as a tackler. He's tough, dependable, has natural body control, and can rush the passer off the edge.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1271104' first='Ryder' last='Garcia'] 6'3" 225, Denton Guyer</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Garcia has good size for the position, he has the quickness to shoot open gaps and will utilize the gator roll tackle when he's out-leveraged. He's got good instincts in zone coverage, he stays square &amp; speeds his feet on contact, and is a high-effort prospect who plays through the whistle.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>[player_tooltip player_id='977624' first='Alonzo' last='Welch'] 6'2" 185, Mesquite Horn</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A sudden outside linebacker with burst, balance, and the ability to fold inside to assist on tackles. He's violent when taking on blocks, he does a good job setting the edge not letting anything outside of him, and has the athletic ability of a defensive back to run with wideouts up the seam. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1493503' first='Jaxon' last='Cannida'] 6'3" 205, Frisco Emerson</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jaxon is a smooth operator in space, he can get after the passer and will get his hands up late if he can't get to the quarterback. He's long-limbed, can generate knockback on blockers at the point of attack, and is a sure tackler within the box. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>[player_tooltip player_id='977641' first='Tieson' last='Ejiawoko'] 6'3" 225, Georgetown East View</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A physical mike linebacker that can make challenging tackles out of awkward body positions and can stun a back between the tackles in his tracks. He gives up no ground when forced to meet a back in the hole, he's got a cerebral playing style and shows terrific closing speed on tape. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1454501' first='Izayah' last='Young'] 6" 205, San Marcos</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Young can flat-out fly and will hawk ball carriers from behind. His motor never stops running and he's an extremely disruptive pass rusher coming off the edge. He's twitchy, has got a lightning-quick first step, and plays with a sense of urgency. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
