With only one offer, he and his family hope this transition boosts his recruiting stock. At 6'2”, 220 pounds, he has a long, muscular frame that fits the mold of a modern linebacker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He's not an explosive athlete, but he's a fluid one. His instincts stand out, mainly when blitzing and reading plays. He can disrupt passing lanes in an overhang role, making life difficult for quarterbacks. His ability to diagnose screens, shed blocks, and tackle in space jumps off the tape. Those traits make him an intriguing prospect at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Currently ranked as Tennessee's 118th overall player and 11th-best linebacker by Prep Red Zone, Watts wants to elevate his stock at the Hun School. He could see his recruitment take off tangibly if he takes full advantage of this opportunity.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Excited to announce I will be attending the Hun School of Princeton next year!

The 6'6”, 315-pound offensive tackle also plays basketball, and his athletic background shows up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>His lower-body power is a difference-maker. He explodes off the ball and dominates in the run game, overwhelming defenders with his strength. His grip strength and hand placement allow him to control opposing linemen effectively. However, his pass protection needs refinement.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Despite his basketball experience, his foot quickness isn't where you'd expect, and he often relies on raw athleticism rather than technique. Improving his hand and foot coordination will be key to his development.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Walker, a 2027 prospect, still has plenty of time to refine his game.

Edwards is set to make a significant impact in his senior season after transferring from Bergen Catholic to St. Joseph Metuchen. At 6'5”, 230 pounds, he has the ideal frame for an edge rusher—long arms, a stout build, and the ability to create leverage against offensive tackles. His motor stands out, and his physical tools allow him to be disruptive off the edge.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>But this season, Edwards will take on a new challenge. In a recent interview, he revealed that he will also be playing on the offensive side of the ball, specifically at wide receiver.

The two showed great chemistry at the Prep Red Zone camp, which likely influenced his decision. Now, he'll look to close out his high school career with a dominant two-way season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17907926/675b9e53fb7c236e7c657d2d' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67dee04425f4a"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
