Robinson is an explosive linebacker who can make tons of huge plays- he fights through blocks to make huge plays, is excellent at getting through the line of scrimmage to make tackles for loss, can use his hands to make plays on the ball out in coverage, and can generate pressure and lay out some big hits to opposing quarterbacks as well. Watching Robinson's tape this season was extremely fun, he had a huge senior season where he racked up 148 total tackles (64 solo, 9 for loss), 3 sacks, and 2 pass breakups. Coaches- you're going to want to watch Robinson, he's a dynamic linebacker with tons of potential. Give him a watch!</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>6A</em></span></h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1590065' first='Rufus' last='Boone Jr.'] is a really talented junior linebacker out of Pike Road who had a breakout season this fall and made life a whole lot more difficult for offenses across the 6A. Boone is a coach's dream- he can do so many things really well at his position and is constantly helping his defense get huge stops. Boone is an excellent blitzer, is great at wrapping up and making tackles against the run, and can adjust and make plays every down against the run and pass. It's easy to see in his film- Boone can make all sorts of plays in the open field, at, and behind the line of scrimmage. Throughout his junior season, Boone recorded 160 total tackles (93 solo, 5 for loss), 2 sacks, one interception, and 5 pass breakups. Be sure to watch out for Boone next fall- he had a terrific breakout season this fall and is set up for an even better senior year next year! </p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>5A</em></span></h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1590056' first='Marshall' last='Teofilo'] is an explosive linebacker out of Moody who really impressed me this season, he made a ton of huge plays against some really talented 5A offenses this year and has set himself up for a huge senior year next fall. Teofilo is extremely versatile- he makes some huge plays on the ball in coverage, is a highly effective blitzer, and is excellent at filling in gaps and making huge tackles against the run. Teofilo is highly athletic and plays with great speed, physicality, and effort every time he takes the field. All of this and more showed up in his tape this season, he ended the year with 161 total tackles (105 solo, 5 for loss), 11 hurries, 3 sacks, and 6 pass breakups. Seriously, be sure to watch out for Teofilo next fall- he's got a ton of talent and is set up for a huge senior season for Moody's defense. Be on the lookout for him next season!</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>4A</em></span></h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1587316' first='Billy' last='Neill'] is a super-talented junior linebacker out of Bayside who is coming off a terrific season where he dominated 4A offenses all across the state. Neill is a versatile linebacker who is capable of making huge plays. Neill is good at fighting through blocks to tackle the ball carrier, has excellent pursuit and closing speed, and has vision that allows him to easily locate the ball and make plays whether he's on special teams or defense. Neill had a really impressive junior season that featured him racking up a ridiculous 208 total tackles (125 solo, 8 for loss), 3 hurries, and 4 sacks. It's been really fun seeing how quickly Neill has developed- on tape it's clear that Neill has become a leader of this Bayside defense in a short amount of time, and he's only going to keep getting better. Be sure to keep track of Neill next fall, he has a ton of potential and is sure to have a huge senior year!</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>3A</em></span></h2>    <p>[player_tooltip player_id='401138' first='Shadarius' last='Toodle'] has played like one of the top MLB prospects in the country over the last two seasons for Cottage Hill Christian- with how dominant he's been it was no question to select him as our 3A pick. At 6'3 210, Toodle is a destructive middle linebacker who plays with a ton of athleticism and instincts. He has some terrific speed and acceleration at his size that allows him to easily maneuver around the field and make plays regardless of where he initially lines up pre-snap. It doesn't matter what the opposing offense runs, Toodle consistently finds himself in the right position to make plays on the ball every time he's on the field. It's been easy to see this in his film, the junior is coming off a terrific season where he racked up 157 total tackles (113 solo, 13 for loss), 2 sacks, and one interception. Be sure to watch out for Toodle in the future, he's got a ton of talent, has been highly recruited, and is going to keep making huge plays for Cottage Hill Christian throughout his senior season! </p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>2A</em></span></h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1587294' first='Grayson' last='Gulde'] is a dominant linebacker out of Vincent who had an unbelievable senior season for his defense this fall, making him our 2A selection. Gulde is a quick, instinctual player who thrives off his ability to read and react to plays. Gulde is excellent at identifying plays- as soon as the ball is snapped he quickly recognizes where the play is headed, puts himself in the right position, and makes plays. It's really impressive watching him play against the run- he consistently flies through the line of scrimmage into the backfield to make tackles for loss no matter how talented the opposing offensive line is. Gulde put up some ridiculous numbers throughout his senior season this fall, ending the season with 202 total tackles (118 solo, 21 for loss) 3 sacks, 7 hurries, one interception, and two forced fumbles. Coaches- be sure to watch some of Gulde's tape, he is a smart player and great tackler capable of making tons of different plays for your defense!</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>1A</em></span></h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1189042' first='Cayden' last='Adkins'] has been a really special prospect to watch during his time at Elba, he's been a do-it-all player on both sides of the ball- producing as a passer, explosive running back, and hard-hitting linebacker the last few seasons. Although producing well on both sides of the ball, Adkins is a destructive linebacker who made a ton of impact plays both behind the line of scrimmage and in the open field. Adkins is a big guy with a lot of speed and acceleration at his size and position. He uses this athleticism to create explosive plays from sideline to sideline against both the run and pass and consistently forces turnovers no matter who the opponent is. Adkins has been super reliable on defense, which is why he was our pick for the 1A. This past season, Adkins recorded 186 total tackles (98 solo, 31 for loss), 21 hurries, 8 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles. It's been great covering Adkins these last few seasons- be sure to watch out for him at Georgia State next fall, he's a heck of a talent!</p>    <p></p>
