Adam Stafford Adam Stafford 6'7" | 320 lbs | DL WACO | 2026 State IA might be the most prototypical defensive-linemen on this list, playing in a three-point stance, and his size and frame has made him quite a dangerous presence in the 8-man league. Stafford recorded 32.5 tackles, 16 TFLs, and 4 sacks during his junior season. A cog in the interior, Stafford was almost a complete physical mismatch against his opponents just by watching his film, and he was constantly driving blockers backwards without any resistance last season. Stafford showed solid movement and hand placement to break away from his blockers, and his length allowed him to grab the ball-carriers trying to get around him and take them down easily. Stafford’s size certainly warrants notice, and there is plenty to like on his film that could translate well moving from playing against 3 O-linemen to 5 blockers in an 11-on-11 team setting.

Stafford is not hard to find. The 6-foot-7, 320-pound high school junior kinda stands out. That’d be the case even if he wasn’t playing eight-player football. It’s an alignment that would be a detriment for someone of his size if he were slow and un-athletic. He’s agile, as we see in the first clip of his junior highlight video, when he swats away a would-be blocker and crashes down on the ball carrier. There’s plenty more evidence of him running down tackles in space in addition to being a tough, physical matchup for opponents. Stafford would be wise to attend college summer camps so coaches can see him take on bigger offensive linemen.
