2028 Linebacker Follow UP

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Defenses need linebackers to come up and make hits. Who do fans like in Mississippi? Well, here are some linebackers in the 2028 class to keep your eyes on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1866681' first='Shamar' last='Evans']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Evans is one of the linebackers who we know is going to be a mean punch when he steps up. Yes, he did move back to Ruston in Louisiana, but we cannot deny the fact that he was a beast at Forest while he was here. This kid is out there punishing running backs. He is not the guy who is going to come up and make arm tackles. He is a punisher.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1178285' first='Travion' last='Washington']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Washington is a polished linebacker who can do a lot of things on the field. This is a kid who understands his assignment. He is a young man from Brandon High School who made a big impact on his team last season. Washington is a kid who can do it all at linebacker. He is going to be a player that gets talked about a lot all across the nation. Big offers are steady coming in for him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1249531' first='Kaiden' last='Buchanan']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Buchanan is a linebacker from Tupelo High School who has been picking up a lot of offers since his freshman year of high school. This is another kid who has been around the game a long time. Buchanan is also a good player from the edge when his coaches send him on a blitz. He is a 6-foot, 225-pound monster who also loves to come up and make contact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1647223' first='Hampton' last='Smith']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smith is the kind of linebacker who is a general on the field. There is no doubt that he is going to be playing an inside linebacker position on the next level. He too is a striker who likes to come up and get personal with ball carriers. He is going to put his shoulders on you. There are not going to be a lot of players who are going to be able to break a tackle after he gets his body on them.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
