Tyler Stevens | Prep Redzone Scout
Curtis was the best player on the field in what was a significant victory over rivals Pickerington Central. Daunte is an explosive rusher. He gets into the backfield quickly in pass rush and is reactive against the run. He’s got great instincts and makes smart plays at a fast pace. Daunte is currently committed to Akron.

Daunte is a lightning bolt of a linebacker. He blitzes well and can secure tackles once in the backfield. He can cover a lot of space with his athleticism and is someone who can blow up a play at any time.

Read EvaluationTyler Stevens | Prep Redzone Scout
Curtis rose 28 spots in our recent rankings update, which puts him just outside of the top 100. Curtis is a great blitzer and can make an impact lined up over any gap. He is explosive and can get into the backfield quickly. Many people give the Pickerington North secondary credit for their defensive success, but it was Curtis blowing up the line of scrimmage from the second level.

Read EvaluationMike Bey | Prep Redzone Scout
Daunte played well as a Sophomore in 2023. His good play helped the Pickerington North Panthers to an 11-win season where they advanced to the 3rd round of the playoffs and held opposing offenses to 17.6 points per game. He plays as a MLB. Against the run, he quickly reads run/pass and shows great instincts taking the correct angle in pursuit. He plays at a good pad level before delivering a nice form tackle behind the LOS for a TFL. Against the pass, he does a great job of reading the QB and disrupts the passing lane. He displays great ball skills showing very good hands as he comes down with an interception.
