Defensive Lineman To Watch During The Fall

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Defenses need big boys up front who can make stops. They need players who can keep linebackers out of the way of offensive linemen. Here are some players who you need to know next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='841734' first='Andrae' last='Maddox']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Maddox is defensive lineman from Oxford who is trained up. He causes a lot of problems in the trenches. He has multiple power four offers. Maddox can get to the quarterback and there is no doubt that he is a powerful force in his team's rushing defense. His films shows that he is a stud, and when he goes to camps, he is able to show his ability in individual drills and 1v1s. Maddox has been on radars for a long time. He is one of the best in his class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1602051' first='Gavin' last='Shannon']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Shannon is a gritty player who makes a big difference on his team. He is a player from Shannon who coaches have been bragging on him since he was in the 8th grade. Going into his freshman season, his community let everybody know that he was going to be one of the guys to watch on his team. He is not going to wow you with his size, but he is one of the players who could have a breakout season this year. Shannon is a mean fighter in the trenches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2079623' first='Tylan' last='Paty']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Paty is a 2027 prospect from Starkville who is dangerous in the trenches. He is a 6-foot-2, 280-pound young man who does not play the radio. He causes a lot of disruption on running plays. Running backs do not want to see him coming freely. Paty definitely fits the description of a division one tackle. He is one of the best players in the state of Mississippi. He is one of those guys who needs to get to camps more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1581425' first='Ty'jah' last='Brown']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brown is a defensive tackle who is going to get a chance to truly be a leader for his team this year. He is a 6-foot-4, 250-pound player who has his eyes on trying to get better. He is always reaching out trying to find ways on perfecting his craft. This is the season that he is going to chance to show that he is a relentless player in the trenches. Brown is expected to turn on that mean streak this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
