I'm really impressed with Bozeman's motor and pursuit. He's a high-effort defender who works through multiple blockers and covers lots of space to create stops. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>I think Bozemna is a really well-rounded EDGE with plenty of room to develop even more. With his size, speed, and physicality, he easily makes an impact on every down.</em>"</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bozeman has seen his recruitment open up this year, picking up offers from North Alabama, Samford, and more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If you haven't watched Bozeman before, make sure you check out some of his tape below:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18161099/684f037d6b187b9b2be3e4da' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-691607b4bd0d6"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1656864"],"_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-691601a2b5ce8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1656864' first='Davon' last='Young'] is a talented DL from Theodore who has had a huge senior year for their defense this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>"Young is an every-down threat in the trenches who defends the run and rushes the passer at a high level.

At 6'4 285, Young possesses impressive speed, strength, and pursuit behind the line of scrimmage he uses to consistently create huge stops.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>I really love watching how Young defends the run.
