Coming into his senior season, Curll had big expectations for himself to breakout and make a name for himself, especially after missing the entire 2022 football year and so far this Cougars linebacker has done just that by playing stellar ball and proving his potential for the next level. Curll has been playing like a man on fire, an aggressive competitor that has displayed excellent physicality along with increased burst and speed. He has also leaned into the small details of football as well. Curll has shown nice arm extension when taking on blocks then releasing to explode towards the ball. The Cougars senior defender does well at working off the edge, whether that be releasing into space to play in coverage or rush the backfield. Curll is versatile enough to play on the outside or slide to middle and work against the run. This Mid-TN product has taken his game to another level thus far, placing himself on the map as a legit FCS, possible D1 recruit.

This dude continues to get better each and every week we step out onto the field and this past weekend in Atlanta was some of his best 7v7 work yet. Curll played both ways for the Mid-TN Wolfpack, bringing in several clutch catches, including a huge touchdown reception to win the team’s quarterfinal playoff game. He also had several shining moments on defense as well, playing in coverage most of the time and handling himself very well. He produced an interception on Day One while also breaking up several other passes throughout the weekend. His play was critical in the team’s success down in Atlanta at the Beast for the East 7v7 tournament.

While playing with the Mid-TN Wolfpack on Saturday, 2024 standout DJ Curll got our attention for being a tall and built wide receiver on the outside of their offense. Then you ask around and check out his game and you find out that he’s a linebacker and one of the better linebackers in Tennesseee’s 2024 class. You can see it with the way he moves and just how put together he already is right now. Curll had a good day on Saturday when we got to watch him for a few games, making some really good catches on offense. But when it comes to projecting him as a prospect, we didn’t get to see much of what appears to be his natural position at linebacker. And after talking with a few people, it sounds like the future is bright for Curll and his high school team at Centennial as they look to contend for state.
