Juarez looks like one of the top linebacker prospects in the ’28 class out West. He’ll be a four-year starter at El Segundo and is coming off a solid sophomore season where he totaled 79 tackles, 10 for loss, one sack, and three interceptions. He’s off to a fast start to his junior season as well, flashing a really nice all-around game and the ability to play in multiple spots in a defense and in any type of scheme. He checks in right around 6-1.5, 210 pounds, with the frame to add good weight. He was more of a hybrid…

Film Review Notes
An exciting linebacker prospect with the chance to develop into one of the state's best at the position. A big hitter who plays a physical game. Can stuff the run, drop and cover, and rush the quarterback. Strong at the point of attack and shows knock-back ability. Quick to trigger, instinctive, and attacks the line of scrimmage. Moves well enough to play safety, but frame-wise, linebacker is where his upside is highest.
