Expert Analysis
Hayden Lindquist | Prep Redzone Scout
Himmelwright is an uncommitted linebacker prospect who remains without a home so far. He possesses the frame of a standard middle linebacker, and combined with the insane energy he plays with, makes him an appealing prospect at the next level. Himmelwright plays downhill, and he plays downhill hard. He frequently is able to meet ball carriers at the line of scrimmage and has shown the ability to work through multiple lead blockers on the same play to get to the ball carrier. He has recently received interest from Hamline, Crown, and Georgetown, so I’m eager to see where he lands in the upcoming months.

I mean this as a positive. Watching Himmelwright play linebacker is like watching the Tasmanian Devil in the old Looney Tunes cartoons. He plays at a frantic pace and looks like he is totally out of control, but somehow, he ends up around the football. He is quick to the hole and moves as well laterally as he does coming forward attacking ball carriers. The Eagles’ athlete keeps his hips low at all times. This allows him to handle cutbacks by running back and take on bigger blockers at the point of attack. He appears to play all the linebacker positions in the Eagles’ defense.
