, and college coaches I assure you will see it quickly on his midseason tape. I like a linebacker that can make the long haul down the ball and show off their range, as that’s what Drew does well on numerous reps you will see on tape. You can also gauge the instincts Drew has from a vision perspective regardless of if he heads to the outside box or the inside box, as he shows off the well-versed pursuit angles you want to see. Millard South has a lot of starpower no doubt, and Drew looks like one in the 2028 class that I have noted as a stockriser thru his midseason eval

. Kozeal had a limited role in a loaded Patriots’ group, but still managed to record 14 tackles, 2.5 TFLs, an interception (pick-six), and a forced fumble (recovered for TD). Drew is an instinctive linebacker who can effectively read his keys and won’t hesitate to pull the trigger when shooting his gaps. He closes on the ball very well and is physical at the point of contact with solid technique to ensure the tackle. Kozeal’s rangy play also allows him to be used in more ways than just a downhill linebacker, showing he can more than hold his own when asked to drop into coverage and can blow receivers up at the catch point to force incompletions. Good tackler with a fiery motor and tireless pursuit. Kozeal should have an opportunity to earn a starting spot next season or at least hold a bigger role in another deep group.
