Samuel is only 2027 defensive line thus far that has an offer on in our enforcers report and is another one that I feel is another undervalued defensive end out of this 2027 Nebraska class. He holds one offer from NAIA McPherson (Kansas) as the Bulldogs might have found a hidden gem when watch Samuel’s midseason tape. Samuel intrigues me with his effectiveness as a run stopper, but shows the ability to get out in space along the edges and get off blocks to assist the screen game almost like a linebacker. From an upside perspective, I feel Samuel can generate a more agile get off with his hands, but is surely effective with his timing in slowing down the run game. Surely one that is well-worth a senior eval for other NAIA schools in the state of Nebraska.

The Waverly Vikings always seem to churn out some solid defensive prospects, and that continues with defensive end Samuel Daake Samuel Daake 6'3" | 220 lbs | DL Waverly | 2027 State NE . Samuel impressed with his versatility along the DL, showing he can play anywhere from the 2 to the 5 technique. Daake does a good job of getting off the ball and throws his jab with heavy hands, generating a solid push. He is constantly driving his legs and moving his feet while engaged, which helps him drive blockers off the line of scrimmage. He sets the edge effectively when defending the run and is consistently in pursuit of the ball. Active hands to help disengage from blockers.
