Expert Analysis
Bryan Ault | Prep Redzone Scout
Derek Weitzel Derek Weitzel 6'3" | 275 lbs | DL Avon | 2028 State OH , a starting two-way lineman for defending state champion Avon, is strong on both sides of the ball. He flashes being a good puller in the run game who can quickly step, get vertical and strike a moving target at the second level. His real strength though is on defense, where he is a tough interior defensive tackle who can create disruption in the backfield and wrap up against the run. Weitzel will be a key returning starter for the Eagles in 2026.
