Mr. Piper has been on my radar for a while now and he continues to improve each season with his relentless work ethic. This young man can work as a fullback where he can maintain a low center of gravity to break weak grab tackles and showcases his downhill running style. He also was able to get into the endzone in the 2nd off a fullback dive. His main position is on defense working as an inside linebacker. Here, he can close quickly between the tackles to secure tackles in the hole for little to no gain on the play. What stands out the most about this young man is how well he wraps up to secure tackles and limit the chances of ballcarrier’s breaking his tackles. This was seen all night long where it seems the ball carrier might do so but Mr. Piper was able to secure those shoe string type tackles not allowing the ball carrier to break a long run. Overall, this young man holds interest and offers from the Division 3 level at the moment – there’s no doubt that he will make his impact felt on the next level. Twitter

Mr. Piper holds down the middle of the Blue Devil’s defensive unit out of the Mike backer position. He can close quickly in close space to make the tackle at/near the line of scrimmage on inside the tackle runs and if you try to bounce the run outside he has the ability to flow to the ball securing the open field tackle on the perimeter for a loss on the play. All in all, he’s a run stopping linebacker that has that attacking edge to him. Not to mention, on the offensive side of the ball his aggressiveness is further showcased here. He can either be a downhill runner keeping his feet driving through contact or can be used as a lead blocker to create a running lane for the wingbacks. All in all, his versatility on both sides of the ball is one to watch the rest of this fall season. College coaches are keeping watch as well as he just came away with an offer from Milikan University a few days ago. Twitter
