Expert Analysis
Rob Howe | Prep Redzone Scout
Freeman showed out at a Prep Red Zone Combine Series event back in May, landing on the all-camp defense. The performance backed up a freshman season in ’23, when he delivered 3.0 tackles for loss in getting acclimated to playing varsity football as a freshman in 5A. He recently posted more video from late last season. It’d be impressive if it were any kid playing linebacker in 5A. When we consider it’s a ninth-grader competing on that level, it’s time to pay attention. Freeman disengages well from blocks in chasing down the ball carrier. That’s saying something with his biggest strengths right now being speed and athleticism, which help in disengagement, too. With skill and physical development, Freeman’s ceiling is sizable.

Being a freshman didn’t stop Rome from working his way into the varsity rotation last season. Rome made the most of his time on the field, displaying an aggressive, downhill playing style from the linebacker position. When watching Rome, I noticed the good job he does with reading his keys and his ability to step up and plug up gaps. He quickly shoots his gaps and plays with the physicality to force his way into backfields. Freeman has a well-built prospect at 6’0″ and 190 pounds and can use his size to hit like a truck. I look forward to seeing more of Rome in the upcoming years!
