Paxson is coming off a huge breakout season where he helped lead the Center Grove offense from the middle. He was a reliable tackling machine who was always near the ball. He’s got really good vision and instincts after the snap. He trusts what he sees and then collapses towards the ball with good angles. While he can drop back into both man and zone coverages, he’s also good against the run, filling gaps. He seems to be fairly well coached and has the ideal frame to play in the second level for a long time. His snap timing and ability to anticipate it set him apart from most other LBs. He ended the season with 127 total tackles, 11 TFLs, 3 sacks, and a fumble recovery while showing why he’s quickly climbing boards everywhere.
