Already standing at 6'2u0022 and over 200lb, he is young player with upperclassmen size packed on. Playing middle linebacker in 2022, Matt is the type of player who's motor is always running. He's able to penetrate the hole or rush fiercely off of the edge to collapse the pocket on the QB. And with the ability to use his hands and shake off blockers, he's a clean tackler when going face to face with the runner. As a member of the 2026 class, he has plenty of time to show colleges how much of an impact he can make for their programs.rnrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64679947d7e5a"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17949212/6382b9ab5eece80ba84bc24d' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64679947d7ecd"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["205678"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='402230' first='Michael' last='Wellet'] III may be undersized at the moment, but give him three years and he will be a very sought after recruit. A reliable centerpiece for Seton Hall Prep for years to come, Michael breaks down and fully wraps up the runner to take him to the ground. As he shuffles his feet in the direction of the play, he is able to stop on a dime when the time is right and shoot the gap to make the play in the backfield. Look for Michael to make some big plays his sophomore year.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64679947d7f4f"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/6279880/635ea81b4ba8260c80b0d52e' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64679947d7f78"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[388164],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"A very fast linebacker, [player_tooltip player_id='341834' first='Louie' last='Amiano'] is already making big time plays as a freshman. With his quick, choppy feet Louie makes it a challenge for teams to run the zone run game since he is able to cover such a large territory and move laterally very well. And when it's time to deliver the hit, Louie stuffs the run or brings the pressure onto the quarterback. Lastly, Louie's speed really shines when in pursuit of runners. They have a difficult time getting away as he is able to catch up from behind and sweep the feet to stop the plays progression.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64679947d7ff7"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17752929/6379aac44206090634015229' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64679947d801d"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["212386"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='212386' first='Donovan' last='Linthicum'] of St Augustine is one of those versatile defenders that doesn't come around often. While he lined up at the linebacker position in 2022, he really could play multiple positions on the field. Another quick footed linebacker, Donovan is able to find his way to the ball carrier by shaking off would be blockers and eluding them with his quickness. With a very bright future ahead of him, Donovan is sure to get scout's attention in 2023.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64679947d8093"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17978287/6371b09390ef4e0ae85b5bc8' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64679947d80b8"} /-->
