Expert Analysis

Alin Edouard

Prep Redzone Scout

Aaden is a defensive lineman who brings energy, effort, and a physical presence to the trenches. He plays with a high motor and consistently works to stay active throughout every snap, showing a willingness to engage blockers and compete at the point of attack.

What stands out is his persistence and activity level. Aaden keeps fighting through contact, doesn’t stay blocked easily, and shows the effort to chase plays down even when they extend outside his initial gap. He flashes the ability to create disruption when he wins early off the snap and gets into the backfield.

Against the run, he shows toughness and continues working to improve his leverage and block shedding. In pass rush situations, there are moments where his quickness and effort allow him to pressure the pocket and affect timing.

Alan Popadines

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Minor is a thickly built-player with a powerful lower half. He’s got the strength to manhandle smaller linemen across the front. On the defensive line he’s often seen blowing up plays before they can even develop and causing havoc in the opposing team’s backfield. When on offense he does a good job using his strength and size to his advantage to help open holes for his backs or giving his quarterback time to throw the ball. As he continues to grow and mature he should continue to fine-tune his footwork and really learn how to use his size to his advantage. He’s a powerful, athletic kid with a tremendously high ceiling at this point.
