About Slade
Expert Analysis
Jordan Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Strong two-way linemen for ALA-Ironwood. 6’1” 270 lbs. he’s a good frame and physical skillset built for the interior DL at the college level. Demonstrates good gap control with the ability to hold ground and eat up space on the inside. Natural strength allows him to overpower opponents at the POA and stack blockers. Plus block shedding ability, he’s quick to disengage and locate the ball carrier. As a pass rusher, he’s able to create knockback and collapse the pocket forcing QB’s off their spot before the play can develop. Aggressive and forceful body tackler that wraps up and drives ball carriers hard into the ground. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him recruited on either side of the ball.
