Expert Analysis

Chris Smith

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Handling middle linebacker for one of the better defenses in the state this 2024 season, Covert has certainly developed and taken his game to another level, leading his team in tackles and competing for possible All-State honors. The Rebels senior backer does everything right as Covert is as consistent as you will find in this state. A technique sound player that plays with controlled violence, Covert plays well versus the run but has improved his athleticism where he could be considered a Top 10 coverage linebacker in the #TN2025 class. The Rebels is a physical competitor too that plays a fearless brand of football. He is undersized at 5 ’11, maybe 6’0 and that could be why he sits under the radar but Covert is a “ball player” that could develop much further on the college stage.

Another prospect to show off his skillset in Murfreesboro was Matthew Covert Matthew Covert 5'11" | 210 lbs | LB Maryville | 2025 State TN , a linebacker at Maryville High School. What makes Covert so impactful defensively is his ability to read the quarterback as well as his ability to quickly react and adapt to the offense. I also like how Covert can use bursts of speed to maneuver the pocket, stop the rush and pick up sacks. Another aspect of Covert that stands out is his ability to read the passing game and haul in interceptions.
