Aside from winning, there might not be anything football coaches love more than big, versitle toys on the field to play with. Look no further than Jake Toye Jake Toye 6'4" | 220 lbs | LB Brick Township | 2024 NJ from the Brick Township Green Dragons. At 6’4″ 200lbs, this LB does a little bit of everything on the field. Defensively, Toye made; 60 tackles, 7 TFL, 3.5 sacks, 1 Int, 1 FR, and 1 DTD. Offensively, he made 19 receptions and 19 carries for 230-and 191 yards, respectively. He also blocked two punts.

For as big and as strong as he is, Toye is NOT strictly a pass rusher. In trips formations he will bump out and cover #2. I think it is his athleticism that allows him to always be within close range to make a play on the ball carrier. By contrast, it is his hustle that makes several plays for him. On more than one occasion, from the play’s backside Toye chased down and made the stop on a frontside read play. Toye also does a great job tipping a lot of passes, thus interrupting passing lanes. Toye takes on blockers well, but given his size I believe he should be mutilating them more often.

If Toye actually was a toy, I think he would be a jack-in-the-box. He is the type of player that you know will leave his mark on the game, but because of his dynamism you just do not know when or how.
