is a player who has been high on my radar for a while now and continued to make a big impact as a junior. Darland lines up at inside linebacker where he is at his best against the run, showing the ability to read his keys quick then flow to the ball carrier with a sense of urgency. He is a very reliable tackler in the open field, finishing last season with 79 tackles and two tackles for loss. Darland also finished his junior year with one sack and made an impact on offense, rushing for over 300 yards and six touchdowns. Mac doesn’t currently hold any offers but I wouldn’t be surprised if some come his way soon as he has received some college interest.

has been high on our radar for a while now and continued to stand out as a junior. Darland lines up at inside linebacker where he is at his best against the run. Mac does a great job of read his keys then flowing to the ball carrier with a sense of urgency, fighting through any blockers in his path. Once he gets to the ball carrier, Darland does a great job of running his feet through contact to secure the tackle and not allow for any extra yards to be gained. Mac finished his junior season with 79 tackles and two tackles for loss in 14 games. Darland also finished last year with one sack and made an impact on offense at running back, carrying the ball 49 times for 331 yards and six touchdowns. Mac doesn’t currently hold any offers but I expect some to come his way soon as he has received some college interest and has the talent to play somewhere at the next level.

is a player who has stayed consistently on our radar over the past couple years. He had a strong sophomore season at outside linebacker, finishing the year with 78 tackles and 10.5 tackles for loss in 13 games. Darland has a true nose for the football, reading the play quickly then flowing to the ball carrier with a sense of urgency to make the tackle. He has also shown the ability to make plays against the pass, both as a rusher and in coverage, finishing his sophomore year with four sacks and an interception. Darland doesn’t currently hold any offers but he should be a player to keep an eye on heading into his junior year.

is another linebacker that stood out to me this past week. He played a key role in LCA’s impressive win over Raceland. Darland lines up at outside linebacker where he has shown the ability to use his speed to burst off the edge before opposing offensive linemen can react as a pass rusher. He finished last week’s game with two sacks. Darland also showed the ability to make plays in pass coverage, coming away with one interception. He also showed the ability to flow to the ball carrier quickly to make tackles against the run, finishing the game with nine tackles and 0.5 tackles for loss. Mac doesn’t currently hold any offers but he should be a player to keep an eye on as he continues to develop over the next few seasons.
