Landan is another rising linebacker in the 2028 class who deserves a closer look as the season continues. What I like about his game is the potential he brings to the linebacker position and the way he’s continuing to develop as a young defender. He’s a name worth keeping an eye on, especially as he gains more experience and becomes more comfortable reading opposing offenses. Landan has an opportunity to keep raising his stock throughout the remainder of the season, and I’m interested to see how much further he can take his game.

Adams has good feet, he moves well in space and his ability to show patience enables him to read and diagnose plays quickly. He plays fast with ability to close on ball carriers under control with violence. Adams has fluid hips combined with nimble feet that put him in position to make plays defending the pass. He has the skill set that allows him to attack offenses from multiple angles. Adams is versatile defender who can line up a nickel or safety and cover wideouts or running backs. He will be an impact player on a stacked front seven that the Eagles bring back with intentions of capturing another state title in 2026.
