Here is a look at six Kansas defensive players who recorded at least six sacks during their junior prep seasons.   It is not an all-inclusive list, as several teams don't release public stats. I also only included athletes with complete player information, and the cutoff for inclusion in this report was six total sacks.   [player_tooltip player_id='2067457' first='Samuel' last='Savenok'], Edge, 6'5”, 225, Christ Prep Academy, ‘27   This Patriots big man had more sacks than games played, and you don't see that often at the high school level. Savenok registered 16 sacks in 13 games played during his junior season. He finished with 74 total tackles and 23 tackles for lost yardage. He has a quick first step and can't beat blockers with his quickness or strength. Savenok is ranked No. 127 overall in the Kansas Class of 2027.   [player_tooltip player_id='1881280' first='Brooks' last='Bayer'], DL, 6'2”, 240, Spring Hill, ‘27   Bayer might play for the Broncos, but his game reminds me of a bull. This is the second time this week that he has been featured on Prep Redzone Kansas. He finished among the state's leaders in tackles and sacks. He recorded 14 quarterback sacks in 10 games for Spring Hill. He was also credited with 10 quarterback hurries. He made quarterbacks hear footsteps all season.
