When it comes to playing the edge there are a few key traits I want to see jump off the tape. A couple being how explosive and how much ground your first step covers and how effective of a pass rusher you are. Waunakee’s Sam Follen Sam Follen 6'2" | 220 lbs | EDGE Waunakee | 2027 State WI passes both of those with flying colors. The DE/Edge launches out of his stance and is able to get up field in a hurry. While doing that the 2027 maintains the agility and balance to be able to counter or cut back across the face of his OT. The 2027 edge defender is also excellent when it comes to his hand use. He does a great job of maintaining separation, getting hands down, and shedding OTs and getting into the backfield clean. From there he has the range and speed to close quickly and get the QB on the ground. I believe the 6’2″ 220 lbs athlete could attack from a two point stance at the next level with his traits. You need to check out his highlights.
