We have been well aware of this freak show out of Racine Case for 3 years now. Everywhere this kid shows up he dominates OL with his blend of speed and power. Minnesconsin was no different with the ’27 DL posting:

I wanted to list the frame because London has spent his career being undersized in the trenches, but not letting that affect his game at all. Now he has a more effective frame, and he still hasn’t lost the tools that have gotten him his success. The DL mixes power and speed perfectly. He can change pad levels quickly, and his hand use is so dangerous for OL to face. On top of that, London has the powerful first step and ability to turn speed to power. He can win with speed. He can win with violence. London holds offers from Drake, Butler, and Olivet Nazarene.

After years of watching London dominate camps we have come to the last go-round. I can’t wait to see the mismatch 2027 DL go out with a lot of summer camp wins under his belt. The 5’11” 245 lbs DL is lightning in a bottle. He comes off the line in a flash and can cut laterally while on his path without sacrificing speed or balance. His ability to bend, dip, and change pad level are excellent and make him a very difficult target for OL to get hands on and keep them on. London is going to be living behind the heels of OL all summer and fall. Don’t miss out on this kid.

Another showcase in the books, another dominant performance from the Racine Case DL. London is a nightmare 1 on 1. That is true in shorts/shirts, at padded camps, and on Friday nights. The junior DL is extremely explosive off the ball and twitchy as a skill position athlete. London’s lateral agility leaves OL punching at air because of how quickly he can cross the face or bend around an OT. Even if someone gets hands on him, London has a strong upper body that is able to quickly get himself clean. The 2027 has proven to be a matchup nightmare for a couple years now and it translated on the field this past season. I had high expectations for London coming in and he still impressed me with what he did.

London’s performance in the OL vs DL battles was something special to watch. The sophomore was a nightmare to match up against. He had one of, if not the fastest first steps off the ball. Speed that had him quickly flying through gaps for win after win. His body control to also be able to make the quick lateral move while attacking downhill set him apart crowd as well.

The sophomore was undersized compared to a lot of the massive OL in attendance, however when it came to his hands there wasn’t much of a mismatch. London was able to consistently flash quick, yet strong hands that got the OL’s hands down or swatted to the side. If the first step didn’t set up London for the quick victory then you could bet his hands were going to be working to keep himself clean from the massive wingspans he went up against. Hadley’s win rate was off the charts, earning him a well deserved MVP title.

Stats: 6 Tackles, 1 TFL

London was wrecking the game during the D4 State Championship. He is such an explosive sophomore on the DL. Over and over he caught my eyes with how effective his first step off the line was. London left linemen reaching and trying to recover to no avail throughout the night. Hadley also did a great job getting to the ball with that athleticism and range. His balance allowed him to bend or cut on a dime to get his arms wrapped up on the ball carrier. London is quickly becoming a mismatch along the DL.
