An instinctive linebacker who plays hard and knows how to wrap up the ball-carrier, Backus may not be the biggest or fastest defender in the 2027 class, but he’s been extremely productive this season and has proven that he can be a willing run stopper while being a consistent pass-rusher as well. He plays hard, hits hard, and has been a dependable defender for the Mill Creek defense all season long. Backus has made 26 tackles through his first six games with four tackles behind the line of scrimmage and five total sacks. He’s one of the region’s top pass-rushers and doesn’t look to be slowing down. He’s one of the more underrated linebackers in Buford area and will see a new Prep Redzone ranking come his way this winter.
