Since the season ended, Ty has put together an impressive offseason, turning heads at camps and 7 on 7 tournaments while adding Power Four offers to his list. Now, he's ready to take over as Allen's starting quarterback and lead the Eagles on another championship chase.

He shows good footwork at the point of attack, stays under control, and does a great job creating running lanes for his backs. I got the time to watch alex and Sam houston camp a while back. One thing that stands out on film is how much he enjoys finishing blocks he's always looking to drive defensive linemen off the ball and isn't afraid to put defenders on their backs with a pancake block.

On the very first play of his film, he pulls across the formation and delivers a crushing block on a defensive end, setting the tone with his physicality.

That kind of flexibility makes him valuable in different packages and situations, especially when the Eagles need steady depth up front. He understands his assignments, moves well between spots, and holds his own regardless of where he lines up.

Despite being slightly undersized for the interior, he makes up for it with effort, leverage, and a strong motor that shows up on every snap. He's active in the run game, fights through contact, and does a good job getting off blocks to stay involved in plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2129117"],"_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-6a45414c46b65"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wilkerson is a 6'4 defensive end who brings a long, disruptive frame off the edge and plays with an aggressive mindset every snap. Now committed to North Texas, he has the size and tools to set the edge in the run game while also creating consistent pressure as a pass rusher. He uses his length well to fight through blocks, stay active in the backfield, and finish plays around the football. As he transitions to the next level, Wilkerson has the physical traits and upside to develop into a strong impact defender for North Texas.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2239699,"width":"412px","height":"auto","aspectRatio":"0.8005844031423645","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/07/image_1daf8d.png?w=819" alt="" class="wp-image-2239699" style="aspect-ratio:0.8005844031423645;width:412px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["946341"],"_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-6a45414c46b7f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hova is taking his game to another level heading into the new season.
