Our first 2024 prospect is Sioux City North linebacker Brayden Mcclain Brayden Mcclain Brayden Mcclain 5'10" | 195 lbs | LB Sioux City North | 2024 State IA and he’s a prospect that has gotten on our radar in the past from his performance at a Prep Redzone event. But basing this evaluation on his film alone, he was still impressive to watch. As an outside linebacker on the Sioux City North defense, Mcclain was incredibly productive in areas that we really appreciate from a linebacker. He racked up the solo tackles and tackles for loss a year ago and the solo tackles really translate to the film. He does a good job of shedding a blocker and making a tackle in the open field. He also has good gap awareness and knows where to attack an opposing offense. He’s excellent in the run-support game and when you combine that with his size and his tackling ability, we think he probably projects to more of an inside or middle linebacker at the next level. He’s playing primarily as an outside linebacker right now. Another thing that really impressed us was his drive on every play. There were a few plays that stood out where Mcclain tracked down the ball carrier and made the play.
