Selected and started for the Kentucky Future Stars in June 2025

Led St. Matthews Catholic to the 2024 CSAA Championship Louisville last season

A long, rangy Linebacker that covers a ton of ground with just a few short strides. Played Middle Linebacker during the regular season with obviously good results, but then really looked the part as an Outside Linebacker for the Kentucky Future Stars in June 2025. In fact, Raider finished the game tied for second on the team in tackles for the Kentucky in their game against the Tennessee Future Stars. The St. X frosh moves well in space and had little problem running down plays from behind if he needs to. As I typically advise with a taller, leaner prospect that plays Linebacker, he can’t be ruled out as a kid who could evolve into a two-point edge rusher.
