Zu’Bril was a one man wrecking crew all afternoon on Sunday. His explosive first step paired with raw power and slick feet made him impossible to stop. I was extremely impressed with Zu’Brils ability to counter anything then offensive lineman threw at him. As a young player the Belleville 2029 defensive lineman shows an impressive ability to think the game through. This is the second time I have seen Zu’Bril work and as usual I walked away extremely impressed with the young tiger lineman.

The defensive line performer of the day had a really good overall showing. I believe he tested really well for a kid his age and size. Though he’s an underclassmen, Zu’Bril showed a fundamental understanding of the dline position. Throughout the day when he wasn’t up for his own rep you could see him taking mental reps and even assisting other campers with repping different techniques. During drills, more specifically 1 on 1’s, Ruff displayed a wide array of power and finesse moves. As well as counter moves off of them.

I really like what I see from Zu’Bril. He moves well at his size, and is able to use his strong lower half to not get budged an inch. I absolutely love the way he is projecting to translate at DT at the next level. He has all of the tools for gap control and playmaking on the inside. I’m excited to see how he continues to develop, because right now he is looking like he will end up being a can’t miss prospect.

First off, it’s extremely impressive to be starting at Belleville as a freshman. Super high praise becuase of that.

In the middle of the offseason, I watched Ruff perform well at the Wayne State Mega Camp. High upside as a pass rusher. Knows what he’s doing.

Yesterday, Ruff struggled a bit, which is expected given he’s a freshman facing an outstanding OAA Red offensive line. On a few occasions, Ruff was able to shed his block and stop an inside run headed into an adjacent gap. On a few other occasions, Ruff earned his way into a backfield because of a good stunt.

He’s got the frame, and I saw him flash that pass rush during the offseason. Love his potential. Upgrade that explosiveness and continue the in-season conditioning, and he’ll be a major piece of the Belleville D throughout the season.
