Expert Analysis
Oscar Galindo | Prep Redzone Scout
The Wildcats’ defense has been a safe place to go looking for solid DL, LB, and DB prospects, and that’s no different with the emergence of junior Blake Kozney Blake Kozney 6'2" | 205 lbs | LB Millard West | 2027 State NE this season. As a junior, Kozney recorded 30 tackles, 4.5 TFLs, two sacks, and an interception. Blake stands out with solid measurables at 6’2″ and 210 pounds with some room to continue filling out his frame at the next level. On top of his size, Blake’s motor stood out on tape, as he is very quick with his electric first step when shooting his gaps and tireless in his pursuit. Kozney also possesses a well-rounded skill set that allows him to defend the run, rush the passer, and be fluid in coverage. Physical and violent mean streak when going to make the tackle, which you expect to see out of your LBs. Blake is listed as an outside linebacker, but I could see him playing anywhere along the second level and even has the speed/instincts to be a box safety. Definitely someone to check out this spring cycle!
