Expert Analysis
Joshua Graham | Prep Redzone Scout
AJ Poole AJ Poole 6'2" | 220 lbs | EDGE Southeast Raleigh | 2028 State NC is a high-motor edge defender who brings consistent energy and effort off the edge. At 6’2″, 220 pounds, he already has a strong frame for a 2028 prospect and plays with the physicality to match it. Poole keeps coming after the quarterback, works through blocks, and doesn’t give up on plays when his first move is stopped. That combination of motor, strength, and developing size gives him plenty of upside. Southeast Raleigh has produced some talented players in the trenches, and Poole is another young defender to keep an eye on as his role continues to grow.

Southeast Raleigh returns most of its defense from last season, but there’s a hole at edge rusher waiting to be filled. Could Poole, whom the coaching staff is high on, fill the void with a strong junior season? He’s not the biggest lineman, but he has an outstanding first step and the bend to frustrate offensive tackles.

Poole isn’t getting a ton of attention outside the program, but he’s put his head down and worked this offseason. He’s not a prototypical pass rusher, but he sets the dge better than most and excels against the run. He’s disciplined and has active hands, the kind of defender who rarely overcommits or makes mistakes.
