Expert Analysis
Carl Frederick | Prep Redzone Scout
Looks like my analysis about Johnson in my team preview was correct, he looks relentlessly off the edge of the Pioneers defense.
Very fast right off the snap he keeps his base low making it very difficult for linemen to block him. I am telling you he could have 10 plus sacks as a Junior this year.

is good off the edge of the Pioneers defense. Very fast off the snap he has long reach and good lateral quickness making him very difficult to block 1 on 1.
Watch how he sheds blocks and closes in on each hit, the kid has real power. Ranked in our top 300 for the class of 2026, Johnson could lead the Cedar Run Districts in sacks.

Read EvaluationCole Laing | Prep Redzone Scout
Tyler is a relentless defensive end for Patriot. He can align in a 4-point, 3-point, or 2-point stance. Shows good hand quickness and explosiveness when engaging offensive tackles that will jolt those who are not prepared to take him on. When engaged on blocks, he keeps his feet driving and has developed a good rip and spin move to shed blocks. He also displays good play strength to anchor himself and set edge contain. He wins with speed on his pass rush on the edge and can turn that into power to drive toward the QB to apply pressure. Be sure to keep an eye on Tyler this fall when watching Patriot.
