Expert Analysis

Todd Haldis

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

A player I highlighted for Milford Mill going into the season, Da’Rell has backed that up with an impressive fall. Colleges are finally starting to take notice as well as he just picked up his first offer from D2 Gannon last week.

On the year Da’Rell put up 15 TFLs, 2 FFs and 7.5 sacks. Plenty of solid production from an athletic, rush IDL. Able to play multiple spots along the defensive line, he plays with power and explosiveness. A disruptor who is constantly in the backfield impacting player.

I expect him to continue this high level of play as MMA continues their playoff push for states. Don’t be surprised either if he ends up as a BTC All-Star this winter as well. With all those factors, I see plenty more offers and interest coming Da’Rell’s way over the next couple months.

Blessed to receive my 1st offer from Gannon university thanks @Coach_KuligJ #AGTG🙏🏾 @Coach_bjones44 @Peeps_a_fool pic.twitter.com/LtfkIU0R7U

An imposing force from the IDL spot, Da’rell racked up an impressive 14 TFL’s and 5.5 sacks last season. Able to play in a gap scheme or heads up on the center in an odd front, he is a problem from the interior. Da’Rell gets good power from his hips, able to collapse the pocket and disrupt. He can also take on blockers and penetrate to stop the run. You also see him be able to get skinny, shoot the gap, and chase down ball carriers. A strong DT with good feet, Da’Rell is play wrecker that helps the Milford defense perform to the high level it does.
