Dermas Habtom Dermas Habtom 6'3" | 225 lbs | DL Malden Catholic | 2025 State New E He is a 6’3″ 215lbs.  Currently attends Malden Catholic School in Massachusetts.  He is coming off a 2022 season where he was positioned at defensive end and tight end for his team.

In view of his film from the 2022 season, one can easily see he is extremely physical and gives consistent effort each rep.  This is on botyh sides of the ball.  On offense, he is a surefire blocker who knows how to be effective at chipping 1st level defenders and continuing to get to second level defenders for his ball carrier to see running lanes. He uses good technique with his hand placement and getting into the shoulder pads of his defenders and controlling the drive block.  He maintains his blocks and will block until the whistle is blown.  On defense, he uses his length to keep the edge and not allow ball carriers outside of him.  He can get off blocks and react to ball carrier when needed. When he pursues opponents backfield, it is done with a low pad level while using his flexibility to beat his blocker.  Has very good range and uses a wrap and roll technique when tackling.

This young man is just getting started and should see some college attention this spring 2023 and summer camp season. His range and aggressiveness can’t be ignored.  Has plenty of time and room for additional growth and development.
