New Names: 6 All-Region DL Prospects

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are 6 new DL names on my radar who had themselves a solid 2024 season. Several classifications are represented here. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["663459"],"_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-6770852aca383"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">JaKobe Bryant is a plugger in the middle of Houston County's defense who is well-developed for his age. He is most recently listed at 6'1 298 and proves difficult to move on every snap. His presence alone is a lot to handle, clogging up running lanes and freeing up opportunities for his teammates. Bryant is a true NT projection, but he has solid pursuit skills and proves capable of getting off blocks. It could be a busy offseason for Bryant, who I believe is an FBS-caliber player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["283786"],"_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-6770852aca41b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">*Haven now plays at Marist*</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Now at 6'2 270, Haven is a strong IDL prospect whose frame still supports ample space for physical growth. He is strong-mitted, jarring blockers and instantly creating push in the middle. He tracks the football well, keeping his eyes on the ball as he battles through contact and pursues the football laterally. Haven plays with solid pad level. Haven holds some offers and should get a crack at the D1 level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1163567"],"_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-6770852aca496"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1163567' first='Brayden' last='Foster'] is a name that has been on my radar for a while, but this is my first extended look at him after he landed on our rankings following a productive junior season. Foster is a size-speed threat at DE. He is powerful enough to sheer his way through blocks and fast enough to kick off the pursuit from the backside. He consistently proves on tape that he has enough bend to win around the edge and keep his chest clean. His length is noticeable on tape, and he uses it to his advantage by engulfing ball carriers and keeping himself distanced from blockers. Foster is an FBS talent and he could be on the verge of a breakout offseason. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Shelton Maynard","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"295","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"West Hall","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6771a42548bae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maynard is a rising senior sleeper with solid measurables. He is another prospect who fits the mold of a plugger, sitting strong in the middle of the defense and proving tough to move off the ball. He is athletic enough to get off blocks and rally to the football. He is strong enough to manhandle RBs when he gets paws on them. I am a fan of how he fires his feet at contact. Maynard is big and tough to move, but he is also active. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Patrick Carnes","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"255","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"North Forsyth","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6771a42548c54"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Carnes is a three-sport athlete with a basketball and T/F background as a thrower. He carries his weight well at his listed 6'2 255 and can easily surpass 270. Carnes can win with his twitch and finesse. Off the snap, he does a good job of keeping his chest clean by altering the angles in his shoulders or working fast and efficient hand play. He is patient laterally and scrappy through chaos as he rallies to the football. There are plenty of athletic indicators for Carnes and he should garner some FCS attention. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["283916"],"_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-6771a42548ca5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='283916' first='Troy' last='Stiggers'] is an athletic DL prospect with a basketball background. He is listed at 6'4 230 and has projectable traits for the FBS level. He moves well around the field and flashes the bend on tape needed to dip and get underneath blockers. Stiggers holds an FBS offer from Miami (OH) and it could be a busy offseason ahead of his senior year. He projects as a 5-tech given his length and pursuit skills. As he adds more weight, he can flex up and down the line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
