Garror is extremely athletic coming off the edge- he has an explosive first step,  quick/aggressive hands, and plays with an elite combination of size, speed, and pursuit that makes him a game-wrecker against the run and pass. It doesn't matter what the opposing offense does, Garror has the natural ability to quickly diagnose and disrupt plays regardless of where the ball is. Garror has a wide variety of moves he uses to get into the backfield and make plays, and that has been seen throughout this whole season- on the year Garror has recorded 18.5 sacks, 30 hurries, 86 total tackles (54 solo, 48 for loss), and 3 forced fumbles. With how well he's played this year and last, Garror has already become a national recruit and committed to Alabama earlier this year.

Isaac is a talented prospect who either makes plays himself or opens up massive opportunities for his teammates to. He demands a ton of attention from offensive lines across the state with how well he's been able to play against the run and pass- he has a great burst off the line of scrimmage, has a ton of strength/power, and can easily sneak into the backfield to rack up sacks and tackles for loss. It hasn't been hard to see this season, Isaac has played some of his best ball yet in his senior season- recording 17 sacks and 67 total tackles (36 solo, 31 assisted) on the year. It's been really exciting getting to watch Isaac play as well as he has this year, he's come a long way as a player and was a huge piece of Greene County's defense this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1006490"],"_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-67337c754ff9e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1006490' first='Jamarion' last='Matthews']</strong><span style="margin: 0px;padding: 0px"><strong> </strong></span>is a highly athletic defensive end out of Sparkman that has had a huge junior season this fall.

Whitsett, a junior defensive lineman, has been a terrific compliment piece to [player_tooltip player_id='1189059' first='Jabarrius' last='Garror'] as they have consistently helped each other generate pressure and rack up sacks all season long. Whitsett plays with a ton of power and intensity off the snap- he often overwhelms offensive linemen with how strong he is and can help collapse the pocket within just a few seconds.

No matter what opposing offenses are attempting to run, Taylor finds ways to make their lives a lot more difficult. He consistently finds ways into the backfield every snap, whether it be against the run of pass- the athleticism he possesses and plays with makes it incredibly difficult for offensive linemen to contain him. It's been seen all season long this year, Taylor has been a huge asset to Parker's defensive front and has recorded 16 sacks, and 42 total tackles (31 solo) on the season. With how well he's played the last two seasons, Taylor has racked up some serious collegiate interest- listing offers from Tulane, Appalachian State, Marshall, and plenty of others.
