Theodore Grace Theodore Grace 6'3" | 230 lbs | LB Kearney | 2025 State MO is coming off a strong junior year in which he helped lead Kearney to a Class 4 State Championship. Grace lines up at inside linebacker where he has shown the ability to read his keys then flow downhill in a hurry to get to the ball carrier. Once he gets to the ball carrier, he finishes the tackle with a ton of physicality. Theodore finished last season with 124 tackles, earning his First Team All-State honors. He is committed to North Dakota where I can see him being a very productive linebacker at the next level. Grace will be looking to start off his senior year strong in a Week 1 matchup against Fort Osage on Friday.

Theodore Grace Theodore Grace 6'3" | 230 lbs | LB Kearney | 2025 State MO is a player that I’m surprised hasn’t picked up his first offer yet. Grace had a strong junior year at middle linebacker for Kearney. He is very impressive against the run, showing the ability to read his keys and flow to the ball carrier in a hurry to make the tackle in the open field. Grace finished this past season with 124 tackles in 12 games. He has also shown the ability to make plays against the pass, using perfect timing to blitz through his gap to put pressure on the quarterback while also showing the ability to drop into coverage. Grace hasn’t reported a ton of college interest but I expect college coaches to have their eyes on him heading into his senior year.

Theodore Grace Theodore Grace 6'3" | 230 lbs | LB Kearney | 2025 State MO was a leader for Kearney’s defense during their 2023 state championship run. He attended South Dakota State’s junior day this month, and I would expect more schools to invite him to campus sooner rather than later. A good combination of strength and size shows easily defeating blocks and finishing tackles at the point of attack. Theo’s awareness and quick change of direction gets displayed intercepting the ball as a zone defender. Theo’s power and acceleration shown blitzing the quarterback suggests he has a good mix of tools to contribute as a pass rusher at the next level.
