Expert Analysis

Stats: 10 Tackles, 1 TFLrnTeams looking for that prototypical inside linebacker need to check out Talan. The 6’2″ 225 lbs senior has shined in the middle of the Franklin defense for a few season now. With that experience has come strong instincts. Talan is quick to process plays, and instantly attacks with aggression. Summers brings the strength needed to be a reliable run stuffer. We saw him take on blockers and drive them off the ball, shuck them to the side, and make tackles at the line. The big LB is able to run through the blocks of OL better than most LBs. This is an athlete you can rely on in the interior of your defense. He is smart, strong, and has the size to play at the next level.

The 6’2″ 220 lbs LB is the leader of the pack among Franklin’s exceptionally talented LB group. Talan looks the part of a next level LB already. He has a long, well filled out frame, yet Talan is still able to move every direction easily. That tells me he can be relied on for all three downs. A trait that not many LBs have. Against the run, Summers reads the OL well. It allows him to flow with the play, and get to his gap even while it moves laterally. Talan also has the agility to be able to maneuver through the trash that is ever-present in the trenches. Against the pass, Talan times his blitzes well, and as I mentioned earlier, he has the agility to be able to slide, drop, and change direction in zone coverage. Talan also qualified for State Wrestling this winter. Definitely an athlete to watch.
