If yards after contact were a stat kept by high school programs in New Jersey, I think we may have discovered the state’s leader in that category: Amir Reason-Dallas Amir Reason-Dallas 5'10" | 180 lbs | LB Timber Creek | 2025 State NJ . His film is a total mixtape of contact within a yard-and-a-half of either side of the line of scrimmage and him making defenders miss like his name was Skip to my Lou. We see Reason-Dallas showcase balance as he spins and rolls out of arm tackles, sidestep over-aggressive defenders, break ankle tackles with ease, and even plant his hand in the dirt to stay upright. Another redeeming trait of Reason-Dallas is that we see him, just about each carry, apply 5 points of pressure to the ball so it is secure. On defense Reason-Dallas will look to deploy the big hit along the sideline as he wants to make a highlight play. From his linebacker spot, he gets down hill in a hurry to support runs in the alley. He also gets a great break on the ball, jumping routes and making a play on the ball. He also tracks the correct hip to maintain his tackling leverage. Offensively I would like to see Reason-Dallas lower his pad level when toting the rock; whereas on defense it would be to his benefit to sure-up his form tackling. Last fall Reason-Dallas went for 48/342/3 on the ground and 94 (76), 1 sack, 1 TFL, and 1 pick-six on defense.
