is a dynamic playmaker at linebacker. Landsdale Catholic used him a lot of times as the 5th Blitzer. He is good at blitzing and finding the opening to pressure the quarterback. He has such good pass-rushing skills that it would not surprise me if he could play as a defensive end as well. Ulmer is also good at running sideline-to-sideline to make plays all over the field. He has good tackling ability as well and rarely misses a tackle. Ulmer is a complete linebacker. Ulmer recently visited Delaware. His recruiting should pick up more in the spring.

Elite GPA, 5.04 when tape was posted. 65 TTs, 6 sacks in seven games. First reps on tape have Ulmer securing sacks with three down-linemen in front of him, each time blitzing against a five-man front, proving he can win on blitzes even if the numbers aren’t in his favor. Ivy-League programs and local G5s should be in on this stud backer, I’m a bit surprised he’s gone this far without gaining much traction in recruiting. Hardly a time to panic, some stud 2025s are just now seeing love in the form of schollys, we still have April and June to go. Should be a lock for FCS schools at the very least. Ulmer’s rank fluctuates because of my responsibility to correctly reflect recruiting trends. I like Ulmer placing anywhere between 5-15 on this list, I’ll stand by that. UPenn and Dartmouth know of his skills, I know they’ve been prowling the state recently. Those programs are hardly in a rush, Ulmer shouldn’t be either. Kid has a good head on his shoulders, I stress patience.

One of the best junior linebackers in the state of Pennsylvania is back for another year full of solos, and TFLs.

. The pair account for nearly three-quarters of the team’s combined tackle numbers. Ulmer brings a little more to the table, however.
A nose for the football, great Read and react ability to both passes in his zone, and flow of blocking when attempting to plug holes in the run game. Outstanding closing speed too, Ulmer’s lock-on ability triggers quick, once it does, he’s bringing his entire 6’2.5, 210-pound frame with him. You can expect a multi-faceted role presented to Ulmer this Fall, one that will have him align in the middle of the defense, either plugging gaps or running occasional blitzes that often lead to sacks. Ulmer possesses a skill set that would allow him to eat at OLB/EDGE/MLB, even safety although not ideal. His football make-up reminds me a bit of SJP’s

Excited to see the top-three linebacker at our Camp on May 6th. Happy to see one of our top-rated prospects doing so well in the classroom. I know his talents won’t go to waste.
