A linebacker that I feel took a step forward in his junior season at linebacker, is Griffin Mitzel Griffin Mitzel 6'0" | 175 lbs | LB Hillsboro-Central Valley | 2027 State ND from Hillsboro-Central Valley. He’s gotten more instinctive with his first step it appears and you can gauge on the range that Griffin has gathered around the edges and too has grown as a linebacker in pass coverage. He uses his good vision slowing down the run quickly while getting forward off blocks. I look forward to seeing what Griffin’s junior tape looks like upcoming.

Griffin is yet another linebacker in this class that has good next-level pedigree with his older brother and PRZ Dakotas Showcase alum, Dylan Mitzel playing defensive back for the newest members of the NSIC, the Jamestown Jimmies. Griffin has intriguing measurables that possess upside to grow out his frame in my eyes. He shows off quickly noticable instincts in pass coverage with his sound athletic movement outside of the box. I also could tell from other bits of Dylan on tape that he has long arms for his age, as you could see it with his radius in offensive reps on tape. More tape could benefit this young man being higher on next update
