Hamilton’s Mitchell Raner Mitchell Raner 5'11" | 165 lbs | DB Hamilton | 2028 AZ has quietly become one of the most complete young linebackers in 6A football, and he’s doing it by just outworking everyone else. The sophomore is currently leading one of the best teams in the entire country in tackles with 69 tackles and 13 TFLs this season, averaging double digits most weeks, and he’s added a couple interceptions and plenty of quarterback pressures that prove he’s not just a run-stopper. Raner’s built like a modern outside linebacker — lean enough to move but strong enough to hold his ground. He’s got good footwork and real closing speed, which makes him dangerous in coverage, but he uses that same speed with aggression to turn it into power when he has to plug gaps or blitz off the edge. He doesn’t hesitate, ever — he just goes. Great motor, great kid, and he’s doing it on a great team. What stands out most is how balanced his game already is for a sophomore. He’s got the range to drop back and the toughness to play downhill, all while carrying that Hamilton edge that wears on opponents over four quarters. Just an impressive young linebacker who’s already playing beyond his years.
