The linebacker group as a whole after Alexander has some proven stars and certainly ascending talents. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1405199"],"_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-68683bddc9d27"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I have said it before and Ill say it again put [player_tooltip player_id='1405199' first='Jayvion' last='Maldon'] anywhere on your defense and he will excel. Now set to play for Loudoun Sports Academy Maldon checks in at 24th overall and 2 for his position group. An all conference selection for Unity Reed as a freshman, he is just getting started. Cannot wait to see what Coach Woods has in store for him with that defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1292040"],"_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-68683bddc9d84"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A prospect who I could see getting more offers real soon is Granby's [player_tooltip player_id='1292040' first='Corvin' last='Watson']. He is 36th overall and third for this group this kid makes plays. Still very young and raw Watson has Syracuse amongst others that have already offered. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/CorvinWatson3/status/1920113627639554233","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/CorvinWatson3/status/1920113627639554233 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rounding out our top ten ranked linebackers are [player_tooltip player_id='1522546' first='Patrick' last='Mize'], [player_tooltip player_id='1625402' first='Christopher' last='Pina'], [player_tooltip player_id='1692641' first='Isaiah' last='Grady'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1693271' first='David' last='Weyrauch'].

He is 5'11 and 185 lbs. Mize should have ample amount of opportunities playing for that defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/PatrickMize/status/1938683278418158016","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/PatrickMize/status/1938683278418158016 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1692641"],"_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-68683bddc9e24"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1692641' first='Isaiah' last='Grady'] looks like a menace defensively for the Hawks at 5'10 and 165 lbs.. Grady should play a lot in the middle of this piercing defense, one of the stronger linebackers I watched on tape. Skyline had two prospects crack our top 150, with players like Grady and Brady Lupton you can see their future is bright. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
