Expert Analysis
Matt Tate | Prep Redzone Scout
Dual position stud that plays RB/LB at Thomas Jefferson. Kid’s a stud. He’s able to put up big numbers as a running back and linebacker, however today’s analysis is about his linebacking abilities. Measuring in at 6’2 225 pounds, he’s a good size for a linebacker. Throughout the season, Tapia accounted for 106 tackles (56 solo, 50 assisted) 15 TFL, 5 sacks, 2 FF, 10 pass deflections and 3 interceptions. He has very good athletic ability, due to his very good speed, acceleration, and change of direction. Very good strength too, which he uses to his advantage to outmuscle opponents. Good mental processing. Using the knowledge of gaps, he’ll rush through them and make a play. (Being a RB also helps with knowledge of gaps). Tapia is all over the field either assisting fellow defenders or making plays of his own. He’ll watch the QB’s eyes and follow them. Making disruptions to their offense. Very good tackler, and will stop them with their tracks. He’ll consistently hit the ball, trying to create a fumble. Which he has by ripping the ball out of WR’s hands. Fantastic player that deserves to be on everyone’s radar.
