has a good blend of speed and strength. He has a strong get-off which allows him to shoot a gap and he has the strength to put a bull rush that can collapse the pocket. Woolens has an offer from the University of Toledo.

is a “Man Child”. His 6’5 235 pound frame and top shelf athleticism makes him a nightmare to block off the edge. Lukusa is very twitchy, has great bend, and his acceleration to the QB is eye popping. Last night Joshua announced his commitment to the University of Toledo.

2022 Jayron Gibson (Winton Woods) 6’0 245 (7.5 Sacks)- Jayron Gibson is an edge that can play with his hand in the dirt or he can stand up. Gibson has a good initial burst and plays with heavy hands. He never gives up on a play and plays with a aggression that overwhelms blockers. Jayron currently has D2 offers.

2023 Conner Cravaack (Madeira) 6’5 225 (7 Sacks)- Conner Cravaack is a two way player for the Mustangs. He plays Tight End and Defensive End. As an edge rusher Cravaak choice move seems to be the bull rush. When you turn on his film you’ll see him simply walk back offensive tackles into their quarterback’s lap. He can disengage and make plays as well.

Princeton | 2022

(Princeton) 6’4 215 (5 sacks)- The Vikings use Luqman primarily as a standup rusher. Anas has a nose for the QB, but he plays with the athleticism, discipline leverage, and awareness that allows him to make plays all along the line of scrimmage.

2022 Mi’Quise Grace (Princeton) 6’4 220 (4 sacks)- Mi’Quise plays OLB where he mostly plays as a stand up defender. He has plus size for the position. Grace does a good job of using his hands and upper body strength to shed blockers. He’s fundamentally sound in his technique, and disciplined in his reads.

2023 Nesta Owens (Chaminade Julienne) 6’0 210 (3 sacks)- Nesta lines up with his hand in the dirt and also as a standup linebacker. He has good get-off and rush technique, but it is his strength that he does the most damage with. He plays with heavy hands and a low center of gravity that allows him to overpower opposing offensive tackles.
