A dynamic linebacker with exceptional vision, Vialpando is a force in both the run and pass game. He has a natural ability to diagnose plays, delivering punishing hits on ball carriers while providing key support in coverage. His impressive stat line of 126 total tackles, 2 forced fumbles, 4 fumble recoveries, and 3 interceptions speaks to his playmaking ability. Vialpando thrives in multiple roles, whether sniffing out screens, shooting into the backfield to stop the run, or disrupting passing lanes. His strong hands allow him to secure interceptions, and he makes receivers think twice before crossing the middle. As the No. 1 linebacker in his class, he aims to replicate his standout production and solidify his spot on every scout's radar     A high IQ linebacker with elite speed, Rueschhoff is a sideline to sideline defender who consistently makes plays all over the field. His ability to read and react allows him to shoot gaps and shut down the run, while his quickness off the edge makes him a legitimate pass rushing threat. With his skill set as a coverage backer, I believe that this makes him a versatile defender that is key to his teams success in pass defense. Rueschhoff finished the season with 72 total tackles, 5 tackles for loss, 1 sack, and 1 fumble recovery. His strong performances at Prep Redzone camps have already turned heads, and he'll look to carry that momentum into team camps this offseason.     A relentless linebacker with a knack for shedding blocks, Shirley makes an impact in the backfield with his quick reads and aggressive play. He has the strength and pad level to fight through double teams and stop ball carriers in their tracks. Shirley racked up 126 total tackles, 3 tackles for loss, 2 forced fumbles, and 2 fumble recoveries, proving himself as one of 1A's premier defenders. His ability to always be around the football makes him a player to watch and with his high motor, expect him to build on his strong season and make even more noise this year.     Zimmerman was a disruptive force last season, posting 111 total tackles, 20 tackles for loss, 1 sack, and 2 forced fumbles. His high energy, aggressive playing style allows him to consistently make plays behind the line of scrimmage. With strong instincts and quick reactions, he's able to diagnose plays and attack ball carriers before they gain momentum. As he continues to develop, expect him to play an even bigger role for his team. If he continues this level of production, don't be surprised to see his sack numbers rise and his impact grow in the upcoming season.     Galindo is a reliable open field tackler that has a natural ability to bring down ball carriers with authority. He flies around the field making plays, finishing the year with 88 total tackles and 7 tackles for loss. His ability to pressure quarterbacks and disrupt offensive rhythm make him a key player on this defense as he often is forcing hurried throws and mistakes. Galindo also has a knack for forcing turnovers, recording 2 forced fumbles last season. With his versatility and defensive playmaking, expect him to be a key two-way player next season.     Savona is a well rounded linebacker with strong instincts and the ability to impact the game in multiple ways. He's an excellent open field tackler, quickly closing in on quarterbacks and ball carriers. His speed and vision allow him to react instantly, shoot gaps, and make plays in the backfield. Savona finished the season with 88 total tackles, 3 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, and 3 interceptions, proving his ability to affect both the run and pass game. A stock-rising player, he's expected to hit the camp circuit and continue making a name for himself heading into next season.
