The Brighton LB, led his Defense to a state championship berth, where they fell short against Rye. Heininger, was the defensive anchor for his squad and played on both sides of the ball, and contributing as a TE.

Henininger is heading to Buffalo, and is one of the top LB’s in the state. He has an outstanding IQ, and can move sideline to sideline. I like his burst, and he plays with a high motor, attacking ball carriers. He wasn’t seen much in coverage snaps, but he displays a basic understanding of man coverage, and has fluid hips allowing him to compete in Coverage Reps. Buffalo is getting a beast at LB.

Congratulations Matthew!
