A sleeper 2027 linebacker to know in Middle Georgia, Storm brought the storm this fall as a junior for Pike County. At 6-foot-1 210-pounds, Storm brings plenty of size, toughness, and physicality to the position and made a big impact all season long in 2025. This underrated defender fights off blocks and does a good job of hitting the ball-carrier behind his pads. He made an impressive 89 tackles last season with 11 TFLs and once forced fumble. He was a consistent, dependable player on defense and is now ranked as the No. 49 overall linebacker prospect in Georgia.

A tough, gritty linebacker flying under the radar south of Atlanta, Strong is a sure-tackling defender who gives really good effort every time he’s on the field. He tackles well around the feet and knows how to fight off tough blocks before chasing down the ball-carrier. Through his first five games, Storm has made 52 tackles, six TFLs, and one forced fumble. He’s made 12+ tackles in three of his five games and has been one of the more consistent and productive linebackers in the region. He’s a 2027 defender to keep an eye on moving forward.
