is a player who caught my attention when breaking down freshman year film. Basinger is a very effective pass rusher off the edge. He uses his strength and high motor to fight through blocks with ease on his way to the quarterback. Once he gets to the quarterback, he does a great job of either finishing with a sack or rushing the throw. He also has shown the ability to read the run quickly and get to the ball carrier in a hurry to make the tackle in the open field. Basinger has also made an impact at tight end and kicker. Jack is a player who I will be keeping a close eye on as he earns more varsity snaps moving forward.

has the most varsity-ready body of them all. Also plays a classic Defensive End position utilizing his mix of size and length. Last year as an eighth-grader Basinger was an All-Conference selection, as he was hands down the top Tight End in the Norsemen Conference. Basinger is an obvious mismatch in the red zone with his size and ability to complete the catch through contact and reel in contested passes. Playing with the Union Raiders a year ago, he was just one of the many weapons at the disposal of Quarterback
