is an explosive athlete who can play multiple positions on defense. He is equally as good as an off-the-ball linebacker as he is playing as a stand-up defensive end. At the off-the-ball position, he does a good job of reading and reacting to the play and attacking downhill. He also shows a good ability to drop in pass coverage and get his hands on balls thrown in his direction. As a stand-up defensive end, he shows off his pass-rushing ability. He can use his athleticism and speed to put pressure on quarterbacks off the edge. Houck is an outstanding player on defense.

The second linebacker mentioned thus far. An interior disruptor.

‘s junior tape is pretty limited, only have about a minute-and-a-half worth of quality reps to dissect here. Still quality tape worth sending to PSACs throughout PA. New Oxford likes to deploy four down-linemen sets, with Houck primarying as a WILL backer. NOHS deploys three down-linemen fronts too, allowing Houck to work closer toward the LOS. Works well stationed weak-side, has instinctual senses that flicker off the snap, can crash down the LOS and make his presence felt. Brings all his weight behind him too, great finisher. Would feel more comfortable ranking him among the LB elite had more quality tape been available, unsure of any circumstances.

played as an outside linebacker for New Oxford last year. He played at a high-level last year. He is good at blitzing off the edge to create chaos for the offense. When he gets into the backfield, he shows good athleticism to attack offensive players. Houck also showed a good ability to read and react from his outside linebacker position and then come up field to make a play. He is also a good tackler. Houck played at a high-level last year and should only improve going forward.
