About Malik
Expert Analysis
Drew Toennies | Prep Redzone Scout
Coming in at number five on my list is Malik Butler, a defensive lineman at Franklin-Simpson High School. What makes Butler so explosive defensively is his ability to read the handoff and catch the running back in the pocket. I also like Butler’s quick decision-making and his ability to punish the offense from along the edge. Butler also proved he can pick up speed to make quick stops and protect the backfield.
