St. Francis Defense
#21 Jonathan Thompson (Jr.) OLB, 6-1 210 – Very good multi threat OLB who has the size to move to DE. Can rush the passer with good hip bend as well as drop into the flats and get underneath outside receivers. Used in a stand up role on and off the LOS but could put his hand in the dirt and get physical

#61 Billy Cain (Sr.) DE, 6-1 250 – Extremely solid DE. Reads and reacts well to blockers. Can shut down his side of the LOS. Makes plays when you don’t think he will. Very good burst off the LOS but the strength to anchor it down.

#2 Nicky Pentello (So.) SS, 5-9 175 – Very good rising star in the class of 2023. Tremendous ability to come downhill and be physical at the point of contact. Rises to the occasion in the pass game and has good technique. Sky is the limit for Nicky.
