He finished 2021 with 5 sacks and over 50 tackles which is pretty good for just about any sophomore. Rivers possesses explosiveness off the ball that allows him to blow past or right through blockers. Once Rivers has his opponent beat there is no rebound, he's a dog off the leash. If he has an assignment, he fills that assignment, while being blocked or free rush. At 6'2 230 he'd be the perfect size for a D1 linebacker prospect right now, I'm excited to see him develop over the next 2 years. Rivers has the potential to be the next big recruit out of northwestern high school, he has the right physical attributes and coaching staff to lead the way.</p> <p>[embed]https://twitter.com/PXavierRivers/status/1469488634210496515?s=20[/embed]</p> <p>[embed]https://twitter.com/slotlover17/status/1421414239693123584?s=20[/embed]</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="249159" first="Jerimiah" last="Green"]</p> <p>Green is a special athlete, playing quarterback, running back, kick/punt return, defensive back, and punt/ kickoff coverage. He has the skillset to be pretty good on either side of the ball but he's already a threat whenever he has the ball in his hands, offense is his bread and butter. Green rushed for 1000+ yards and passed for 880 this past season. It'll be interesting to see how he develops as a player over the next 2 years, as a QB or will he branch off from quarterback and use his abilities to light up scoreboards elsewhere.

Harry's body type is very lengthy, he has good hips and changes direction with ease.

He's an exceptional route runner who runs his routes hard with good head fakes, his hands and catch ability are his weapons. On defense deep ball coverage is his specialty, being 6'2 and those receiver ball skills help him a lot.

Pretty impressive right, the film just makes it better. He is very athletic and elusive, he's a threat at ant offensive skill position. His ball skills are above average, he's able to track and catch the ball and use his elusiveness to make the first guy miss for extra yards.
