About Sam
Expert Analysis
Mark Johnson | Prep Redzone Scout
I love watching this kid play on the edge. He plays with his hand in the dirt for Waunakee, but his 6’2″ 220 lbs frame suggests he might have to play in a two point stance at the next level. Fine with me because Sam knows how to get into the backfield and create a lot of disruption. Sam explodes off the line with violent power that shows up as soon as he gets hands on. A lot of his clips you see a fantastic ability to bend and put himself at angles that allow him to get underneath OTs and either use that leverage to drive them into the QB or dip underneath them on the loop to the QB. Sam does a great job with his hand use too. Getting hands inside and using every bit of length to keep himself clean while violently attacking the edge. The athletic edge also has really good range to get lateral and chase down the ball as it tries to get outside his containment. Big things ahead for Sam. Make sure he is on your radar.
