DJ Hightower DJ Hightower DJ Hightower 6'2" | 215 lbs | EDGE/TE John Hardin | 2027 State KY has been on our radar for a while now and continued to stand out this past season. He is very reliable against the run, showing the ability to diagnose the play quickly then use his impressive lateral movement and speed to get to the ball carrier with a sense of urgency. Once he gets to the ball carrier, he is a good open field tackler, finishing this past season with 25 tackles and three tackles for loss in 12 games. He also came away with one interception as a sophomore and made an impact on offense at tight end, leading his team in receiving with 10 receptions for 244 yards and three touchdowns. DJ should be an intriguing prospect to watch heading into his junior season.
