Max is a strong tackler who makes a lot of plays in the box. He consistently makes plays near the line of scrimmage and usually stops momentum with good form tackling. Max plays a disciplined style of football and is usually where he needs to be for his defense. Even on one play where he over pursued a little bit, he still managed to punch the football out of the running back’s hands and recover the fumble. Currently on the light side of things as a linebacker, he’s able to overcome with with technique, instincts, physicality, and quick read-and-react ability. Accoring to his X (formerly Twitter bio), he is now 205 pounds (up from 10 pounds previously). I expect him to take his game up another level headed into his junior year.
