Landen is a player that will be on a lot of college boards this spring. He has ideal size and length at 6’3″ 215lb and a frame that will fill out nicely. With that reach and wingspan Landen was able to have a huge 2023 season racking up 130 tackles on the year, leading to him making First team All-State, All Region, & All County at LB. Capable of playing inside or out, Landen is an athletic player who runs well with good lateral movement and the ability eat up ground quickly. Playing with a high motor and a sure tackler who comes downhill, Landen is strong in run support. Displaying a high football IQ, he is able to read & react and be quick to the ball. Effective blitzer up the middle, he can shoot the gap, get skinny, and rip through blockers to make plays in the backfield frequently. Landen fits what teams look for in todays modern LB skill set and will have offers coming his way this spring for sure.

Lilly was discovered at an IAA Winter Showcase earlier this year where he turned heads. On film he plays majority outside linebacker for South River, his athleticism sticks out like a sore thumb. Evaluating Landen TE play at the showcase, he runs sharp routes, is a hand catcher, and never gives up on a play. He is physical and strong through contact and attacks the ball.
