As I just mentioned, the Panthers have a very run-heavy offense. On Friday, this offense was led by senior Shane Pruitt Shane Pruitt 5'11" | 200 lbs | ATH Ft. Zumwalt North | 2024 State MO . He had an impressive game, running the ball 19 times for 140 yards and a touchdown. Pruitt is a physical, downhill runner that showed the ability to hit the running lane with a sense of urgency and run straight through defenders to pick up extra yards. He also has the speed to run away from the defense once he hits the open field. Shane also played a role on defense at linebacker, showing the ability to read his keys and get to the ball in a hurry to make tackles in the open field. Pruitt doesn’t currently hold any offers but he has received some college interest and definitely has the talent to play somewhere at the next level.

Another incoming senior linebacker that has caught my attention recently is Shane Pruitt Shane Pruitt 5'11" | 200 lbs | ATH Ft. Zumwalt North | 2024 State MO from Fort Zumwalt North. Pruitt is coming off a strong junior year in which he finished with 103 tackles and 12 sacks. Shane lines up at outside linebacker and is very dangerous as a pass rusher. He has shown the ability to use his speed to blow by opposing offensive tackles off the edge and shoot the inside gap on stunts. Once he gets to the quarterback, he does a great job of running his feet through contact to secure the sack. He is also reliable against the run, showing the ability to read the play and get to the ball in a hurry to make tackles in the open field. Pruitt doesn’t currently hold any offers but definitely has the talent to play somewhere at the next level.
