Trace Tecklenburg
About Trace
Expert Analysis
Rob Howe | Prep Redzone Scout
Tecklenburg has a frame and athleticism for college coaches to dream on. He can put on positive pounds and reach a significantly high ceiling in a strength and conditioning program on the next level. Of his 7.5 tackles in 2025, six were of the solo variety. He tacked on 2.0 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. Potential oozes out of his junior highlight video. On the first clip, Tecklenburg lines up off the far right end, explodes off of the snap and corrals the quarterback for a sack. It’s impressive straight line speed with long arms to tackle or get up in the passing lanes. On the second clip, he whips the left tackle around the outside and runs down the scrambling signal caller racing to the opposite side of the field. He’s unusually fast to the ball for a guy his size. Johnston moves him back and forth between the two outside spots. He works both equally well.
