Another instinctive defender who brings a level of physical toughness, Deal wraps up well at the feet and always puts himself in a position to make a play. He moves well laterally, shows above-average ball-skills, and showed D1-potential this past season as a junior. One of the region’s top defenders, Deal made an impressive 99 tackles last season for Richmond Hill with six TFLs and five sacks. He’s also picked off one pass in coverage while forcing three more fumbles. He was one of the more productive 2027 linebackers in the area and that should continue into next fall.
