Midwest prospects from storied high school programs. Similar frames with longer wingspans. Kitchen may even have a little more growth potential in him. Austin needed to add strength in high school, Recarder is working on that now but both were/are good athletes who can rush the passer.

Has the ideal combination of size and athleticism. Stepped in on varsity and was immediately an impact player, catching the attention of schools with plays where he ran down running backs from way behind. Has played on the edge but also some glimpses as an off-ball linebacker. Will be a full time defensive end in college and will likely gain weight and be more of a strongside end. Has dealt with some injuries which has hampered high school production. But has great agility at his size and although there is no timed speed on him, he runs well on film. Classic case of high ceiling but the play has not always matched the potential yet. College coaching and strength and conditioning will be vital to his future success.
