Deyontay Gillespie Deyontay Gillespie PA is one of the best players in the state. He is an excellent linebacker and athlete in the 2029 class. Here is what my colleague Jamiel Josey wrote about him earlier this year:

“Deyontay Gillespie (PA) stands out as one of the premier linebacker prospects in Pennsylvania’s 2029 class. He possesses an ideal frame with the size and physicality that immediately translates on film. Gillespie plays downhill with authority, showing the ability to diagnose plays quickly and attack the line of scrimmage. His tackling ability is a major strength, as he consistently finishes plays with power and control. He also shows the capability to shed blockers and maintain gap discipline, which is critical at the next level. In space, he moves well for his size and can cover ground effectively when pursuing ball carriers. His presence on the field brings a physical tone to the defense and energizes those around him. With continued development, Gillespie has the tools to produce at a high level this season and solidify his status as a nationally recognized prospect.”
