Expert Analysis

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

When we look at this team as a whole, the defense is one of the biggest question marks, but not necessarily at linebacker. Senior linebacker Braven McConnell Braven McConnell 6'2" | 210 lbs | LB Choctaw | 2025 State OK returns to help a defense that is very inexperienced right now but they don’t lack talent. McConnell had a very good spring and when we saw him in person, there was a lot to like about his game and what he brings to the football field. Choctaw has had some absolute monsters in the front seven over the last several seasons and it appears that McConnell is ready to take that crown and wear it this season. And Choctaw is no stranger to having a dominant McConnell on the team. Braven’s older brother Cade was an All State offensive lineman.

First Friday film review that we are going to take a look at is McConnell out of Choctaw. McConnell is a 2025 outside linebacker who moves well out in space. When he is in coverage, he shows good hip turns and can run with the slot receiver. When McConnell lines up out on the edge of the line of scrimmage, he comes off hard and plays flat. His reads are quick, and he gets downhill in a hurry. McConnell likes to play physical and is a good edge rusher when his number is called to go. Anytime he has a lineman come up to block him McConnell does well with shedding the block and comes back to balance to make the play. The Yellowjackets defense enables McConnell to play within his game while making quick reads and playing in his opponents’ backfield. McConnell will be someone to keep an eye out for as he stands in at 6’1″ and 180 pounds. He has a good frame and will continue to develop as he adds more weight.
