Givance is a rare one. As an eighth-grader last year, he was all-district, disrupting games from the interior with grown-man power and shocking twitch. Now a freshman at 6’2, 235–240, he’s expanding to a DL/LB hybrid role—think heavy edge/stand-up backer who can reduce inside on money downs. He’s been an A-gap problem all season. He has 12 tackles and sack over the past two weeks. The tape showcases his already eye-popping mesaurables. Givance has posted weight room numbers that include a 400-pound deadlift, 315-pound bench press, and a squat in the high-300s. But it’s the way the strength translates—violent shed, explosive first two steps, and short-area burst—that makes him nearly unblockable one-on-one. Hopkins tries to vary his alignments to chase matchups: 3-tech on passing downs, 5-tech/edge in base, and even off-ball to blitz gaps. Tape shows that when offensive attention flows towards senior Charlie Pollen Charlie Pollen 6'3" | 230 lbs | DL Hopkins | 2026 State MN , Givance feasts on one-on-one blocks. Givance shows advanced understanding of block recognition at linebacker depth, pad consistency vs. doubles, and relentless recovery habits. Will be interesting to track his developments going forward.
