Expert Analysis
Ryan Lippert | Prep Redzone Scout
Another senior that impressed me on the defensive side of the ball this year was Blake Houchens Blake Houchens 6'0" | 205 lbs | LB Green County | 2023 State KY from Green County. Houchens lines up mainly in a stand up defensive end/outside linebacker role and is very dangerous as a pass rusher, finishing the year with eight sacks in the regular season. He also accounted for 54 tackles and 15 tackles for loss in the regular season. Houchins does a great job of timing the snap when rushing off the edge and taking off before the opposing offensive tackle has a chance to react. Once he gets to the quarterback, he finishes with a ton of physicality, running his feet through contact to make sure his presence is felt. He also has played as an off-ball linebacker and does a great job of filling his gap against the run. Houchins was also the team’s leading rusher this season but I really liked what he was able to do on defense. Blake doesn’t currently hold any offers but I believe that he deserves some attention from college coaches as he is a player that could make an impact at multiple positions at the next level.
