Expert Analysis
Kevin Spencer | Prep Redzone Scout
At starting linebacker, Abren showed a strong impact and good instincts on the field, highlighted by his high tackle production and a key forced fumble on Sunday. He consistently demonstrates a natural nose for the football, reading into plays quickly and putting himself in position to make stops. His ability to move quickly from sideline to sideline stands out, allowing him to cover ground and limit big plays. Overall, Abren Jr. brings energy, awareness, and reliable tackling, making him a strong presence felt by the offense.

In the championship game on Sunday, he had half a dozen tackles and caused a fumble with a big hit.
