DJ is a player I saw in week one and he came on the scene like a missile. Has already proven himself to be a top prospect on colleges boards, picking up two P4 offers since the beginning of the season.

Standing 6’1″ with a frame that can easily hold 225+ in time, DJ is a great body kid and fits the mold for the position. An athletic ILB who fits perfect in a 2 LB scheme. DJ plays fast and flies around the field. He’s got superb fluidity in his hips for the position. Quick to turn & run, re-direct and go get ball. Another freshman on this top 5 that plays above their years in understanding the game. Shows high on-field IQ, quick to read, identify, and react. DJ has also show he can be effective in coverage. Able to drop into the hook/curl as well as get out to the flats. Can read routes and athletic enough to stay with WR’s/RB’s that flash in front of him and is then quick to close to make the play.

A playmaking LB that can get all over the field with the quick twitch athleticism to pair with the physicality to lay the wood on ball carriers. DJ is a do it all LB that will continue to generate a lot of interest from colleges this fall.
