Strengths – Coming out of a small area and 4A program in the West Tennessee region, Lovorn hasn’t received the hype as others at his defensive line position but this guy can play and with further development, D1 might be his destination. Over the last year, Lovorn has grown into his body nicely, packing on more weight while increasing his speed to power combo off the edge. The Hornets senior defender has experience playing both linebacker positions, so he understands how to play in space but his work on the end is what will get him to college. Lovorn does a nice job getting off the snap quickly then using his hands to work around the blocker and on his way towards the ball. His motor is strong while showing solid bend and lower base agility that has room for improvement. This is an aggressive competitor that doesn’t mind being physical. Lovorn can play finesse or power off the edge while also supplying enough athleticism to drop into open space when called upon. Besides rushing the passer, Lovorn shows good work on film against the run as he sheds blocks well then pursues the ball with great haste.
Development – Lovorn could be viewed as a tweener as he only stands 6 ‘3 and almost 240 pounds, so he will have to continue developing his work off the edge as that is where he is destined to play. Staying on the end, the Hornets edge linebacker needs to continue improving his agility and bend as well as getting faster off the line. Adjusting to the college game may take some time but the long term potential is certainly there.
Overview – This West Tennessee talent is a fringe Top 50 prospect headed into our new #TN2025 rankings but someone that could turn out to be a big payout down the road. Lovorn is a talented ball player and his film shows it. The Hornets linebacker works as hard as any you will find and someone dedicated towards becoming the best player he can be. Lovorn’s best football is definitely ahead of him. This summer camp season as well as his senior campaign will be critical towards which level of college football he will land. I think he will impress and earn those much awaited offers somewhere over the coming months. Either way, Lovorn will at least make it to the FCS level where he can continue building his stock and developing while possibly building him into a D1 portal option down the road.
