Another freaky edge defender in the Class of 2025 is Keylan LaGrant Keylan LaGrant 6'3" | 215 lbs | LB East St. Louis | 2025 State IL . The 6’3″ 215 lbs junior is a special athlete. He has excellent feet, balance, and lateral movement to navigate crowded backfields and lines of scrimmage on the way to the ball. Keylan is so sudden off the ball and when avoiding blocks on the way to the ball. LaGrant has also shown the the can turn that burst into power in short yardage situations. We see him use leverage to drive his man off the ball in his favor. Keylan is a twitched up LB with length and agility that knows how to flash the strength when needed. Check out the tape. It’s a fun one.

Keylan La Grant is a Lutheran track & field star who is sure to gain attention quickly after stepping onto the football field as a junior. Keylan holds offers from Kent State, Boston College, Memphis, West Virginia, and Arkansas. Expect schools within the region to pick up their recruitment of the talented defensive end this fall.

Keylan’s fluid change of direction and next level closing speed gets displayed redirecting in the run game to tackle ball carriers behind the line of scrimmage. Keylan shows good size, instincts, active hands, and a solid anchor disrupting outside runs that are designed to hit in his vicinity. Keylan’s combination of acceleration and power displayed in huge one on one collisions suggests he has all the tools to develop into a collegiate edge rusher.

A third and the most highly touted of a talented trio on the Luther St. Charles defensive line is Keylan LaGrant Keylan LaGrant 6'3" | 215 lbs | LB East St. Louis | 2025 State IL . LaGrant had a very impressive sophomore year, finishing with 65 tackles and five sacks. He is an athletic stand up edge rusher that explodes out of his stance and has the speed to shoot into the backfield before opposing offensive linemen have a chance to react. LaGrant has also shown the ability to play out of a three-point stance and stack/shed blocks quickly against the run. Once he gets to the ball carrier or quarterback. Keylan explodes through contact and finishes his tackles with a ton of physicality. LaGrant currently holds offers from Arkansas, Memphis, Boston College, and West Virginia, and I expect that list to grow as he is a true Power 5 caliber prospect.

Another impressive member of the Lutheran defensive line was sophomore defensive end Keylan LaGrant Keylan LaGrant 6'3" | 215 lbs | LB East St. Louis | 2025 State IL . LaGrant is a long, athletic defensive end that uses his speed to wreak havoc off the edge as a pass rusher. He showed a quick first step out of his stance and the ability to burst off the line of scrimmage. LaGrant was in the quarterback’s face on multiple occasions on Friday and finished with a sack. Keylan currently holds offers from Arkansas, West Virginia, and Boston College, and I expect that list to expand over the next few seasons as he has the potential to develop into an even higher level defensive end prospect.
