BJ Dykes BJ Dykes 6'4" | 180 lbs | LB Frederick | 2027 State MD : Lengthy, Versatile Defender with Hybrid Traits and All-Field Impact
BJ Dykes BJ Dykes 6'4" | 180 lbs | LB Frederick | 2027 State MD is a dynamic, hybrid defender who brings the size of a safety and the physicality of an outside linebacker. At 6-foot-2 with long arms and a rangy frame, Dykes is the kind of modern defensive weapon who can line up anywhere and make plays all over the field.
In coverage, his length is a major asset, disrupting passing lanes and using his reach to bat down throws. On film, he flashes impressive instincts, including a standout play where he closed on a receiver’s route and rode him out of bounds with textbook physicality.
Against the run, Dykes is equally impactful. He plays the edge with purpose, showing the ability to set the perimeter, fight through blocks in the trenches, and rack up tackles for loss with his aggressive downhill style.
Dykes earned his first Division I offer from Syracuse this past May. As he continues to fly around the field for Frederick High School this season, expect more college programs to take notice of his versatility, motor, and potential.
