Glenwood’s Drake Buthe Drake Buthe 6'5" | 265 lbs | DL/OL Glenwood | 2027 State IA was one of the top newcomers to this rankings update, landing as the top defensive lineman and top-15 overall. Buthe played on both sides of the ball for the Rams and recorded 28.5 tackles, 10.5 TFLs, seven sacks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and an interception. Drake stands out immediately with his lengthy frame at 6’5″ and 265 pounds, with room to continue bulking up at the collegiate level. His lengthy reach allows him to fully extend when shooting from his stance and to be the aggressor at the point of contact. Buthe is relentless in his pursuit, showing a nonstop motor that runs from snap to whistle and the lateral quickness to track down backs and corral scrambling QBs. Drake is effective as a power rusher, displaying strong hip and upper-body power to drive defenders off their spot. Very good mobility and agile on his feet. Mean streak that leads him to finish his plays with a stop or pancake, depending on which side he’s on.
