Hudson Dunn Hudson Dunn 6'2" | 215 lbs | LB Liberty | 2026 State AZ is one of those defenders who just jumps off the screen — not just because he’s got the flash plays here and there, but because he’s so consistently in the right place at the right time. He’s long, he’s fast, and he plays with a kind of control and confidence that’s rare at this level. Whether he’s flying downhill to make an open-field tackle or dropping into coverage, he makes it all look natural. That length gives him a real advantage, too — he covers so much ground with each stride, and ball carriers just can’t seem to get away from him in space. He’s been a huge reason for Liberty’s back-to-back title runs, stepping up and making plays like a seasoned vet. And now, with even more on his shoulders this year, it feels like he’s only going to become more of a problem for opposing offenses. He’s got the instincts, the physical tools, and the mindset to be a real game-changer every single time he steps on the field.

Done will return to that stout Liberty defense after racking up 13.5 sacks and establishing himself as one of the best players in the state. He certainly put himself on the map, holding around 17 total offers thus far and I’m sure there’s more to come. Excellent burst off the edges with a wide arsenal of moves to beat OT’s, flashing bend, violent hands, and a nasty spin move while using those instincts. He does an excellent job getting his shoulders squared up to deliver textbook tackles and shows excellent strength at the point of attack. Very impressive player that will surely put up big numbers again in 2025.

Now with 10 sacks through seven games, Hudson Dunn Hudson Dunn 6'2" | 215 lbs | LB Liberty | 2026 State AZ is becoming one of the most highly touted prospects in the nation. Adding another 14 tackles for loss, his combination of speed and physicality is jaw-dropping. Adding in his top-tier football IQ, you have a dominant force from the linebacker position. After having 7.5 sacks through his first three games, I took a look at his tape and weighed in on the early success he was having:
[Dunn] has a deep rolodex of pass-rushing moves to get him into the backfield. Dunn is simply too fast for linemen to stay in front of and quarterbacks to scramble away from. To be able to move all 6’2″ and 215 lbs of him that fast and get up to speed so quickly is a scary sight for any offense. He does a great job when tackling in open space and with his agility, it’s no easy task for ball carriers to have to make him miss. Dunn already holds a plethora of Division 1 offers including Michigan, Washington, Oregon, Penn State, and others; he could easily rack up many more if he continues to play the way he has been.
