Jaxon French Jaxon French 6'3" | 235 lbs | EDGE Saint Xavier Louisville, KY | 2029 State KY is another edge defender who put together some impressive freshman year film. French was very impressive against the run, showing the ability to diagnose the play quickly then use his speed to get to the ball carrier in a hurry. Once he gets to the ball carrier, he has shown the ability to finish the tackle quickly before they can get going.
