<p class="text-gray-700">He may not be the biggest linebacker , but Jackson is a smart, quick-reacting defender who lit up the stat sheet last year with 103 Tackles, four TFLs 2.5 sacks, 20 QB pressures, two forced fumbles, and three pass-breakups for the Dutchtown Bulldogs. He brought max-effort and has a nose for the football. When he meets the ball-carrier he consistently got them to the ground. Now, this rising senior will play at Lithonia and will see a new Prep Redzone ranking come his way in the next update.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">An Atlanta-area linebacker to know about moving forward is Douglas County linebacker, [player_tooltip player_id='1628985' first='Richard' last='Dyce']. The former Westlake Lions defender stands at 6-foot-0 215-pounds and is one of the hardest hitters in the region. He really shined last year for the Lions as a junior, making 68 tackles, five TFLs, two sacks, four INTs, one pass-breakup, one forced fumble and one more fumble recovery. He was all over the field and found a way to make big plays in coverage while proving to be a reliable run defender. He'll be an easy addition to the next 2026 Prep Redzone update.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">One of the top sleeper linebackers in Savannah, Beaver is a tough, aggressive linebacker who consistently does his job and knows how to make a sound, fundamentally strong tackle on the ball-carrier. He covers the middle of the field well against the pass and has the ability to fight off blocks and attack the ball-carrier against the run. He's a max-effort defender who is coming off an outstanding junior season where he made 125 tackles, three forced fumbles, 11 TFLs and three pass-breakups. He's flying under the radar but will be added to the latest 2026 rankings next month.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">An aggressive, sure-tackling defender outside of Athens in Morgan County, Gordon brings a thick, muscular frame at 5-foot-9 210-pounds to go along with strong instincts against the run. He reacts quickly, has enough strength to fight off blocks, and takes a great angle to the ball-carrier when chasing down the run. He's a tackling machine who is coming off a giant junior season where me made 110 tackles and 14 TFLs. He was named a First-Team All-Region selection and is one of the top returning linebackers in the area. He's bound for a giant senior season in 2025 and should see a new ranking come in the next 2026 update.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">One of the more productive Middle Georgia linebackers from last season, Jordan is a speedy linebacker with plenty of size at 6-foot-0 210-pounds. He closes well on the ball-carrier and knows how to wrap up properly when making a big tackle. He made 107 total tackles last season as a junior with 10 TFLs and five sacks. He's a max-effort defender from Warner Robins who should light up the stat sheet once again as a senior this fall.</p>
