Expert Analysis
Jeff Perkins | Prep Redzone Scout
A physically thick, agile and high-energy competitor, Layne has managed to maintain the impressive defensive production that he achieved last fall while successfully assuming a much more central role offensively from his fullback position. In his Warriors’ big 22-21 district win at Pike County Central, he carried the football 21 times for 176 yards and 2 successful two-point conversions, but more impressively, he also went 2 for 2 through the air for 45 yards and 2 touchdowns. In testament to his athleticism and versatility, this fullback/linebacker prospect has actually completed 11 of 21 pass attempts for 173 yards and 2 scores–pretty impressive! Defensively, Layne also collected 10 solo tackles, 2 assists and 1 tackle for loss on the night and has already surpassed his impressive 2022 defensive numbers (12.4 tackles per game/5th in Class AA). In 8 games this season, he already has secured 80 solo stops, 25 assists, 13 tackles for loss, 1 forced fumble and 1 fumble recovery, and his current average of 13.1 tackles per game places him 7th among all Class AA defenders (13th statewide). Ideally suited for his current position as an inside linebacker in either an even or odd defensive front, his versatility and acumen for the game make him an intriguing special teams contributor at the next level, too.
