Today we're going to take a look at Linebackers that are still available after early Signing Day. All of these prospects are being hindered by the pandemic and how it's affected recruiting as a whole. A lot of these prospects don't get the attention of their peers. These players are high-level college prospects and had great seasons this year. Every one of these players is severely under-recruited. At Prep Redzone Florida, our mission is to get players like this promoted and seen!
Austin Brannen LB- Steinbrenner
6’0 220lbs
Brannen is one of the top linebackers in the Tampa Bay and in the state, he is a three-year starter for Steinbrenner High School and finished his career with 366 tackles, 7 sacks, and over 35 tackles for losses. For his career he averaged over 11.4 tackles a game. Brannen is an extremely smart player (5.7 GPA) and diagnosis plays quickly, does a good job shedding blocks and getting to the ball, he’s a thumper that is an excellent tackler, also has the ability to play sideline-to-sideline.

Keegan Schubert- North Bay Haven
6’0 200lbs
Schubert had a very good and productive senior season registering a 110. Schubert does a good job reading his keys disengaging blocks and getting to the ball. He also shows the ability to play sideline-to-sideline. He has enough athleticism that playing out in space and in coverage shouldn't be an issue. He averaged over 11 tackles a game this season.

Justin Hendrix- Niceville
5'11 220lbs
Hendrix had a really good senior season registering 103 tackles, 10.5 tackles-for-loss, and 4 sacks. He was integral part of leading Niceville defense deep into the state playoffs this season, he diagnoses plays extremely quick and shows very good short-area burst, he gets to the football quickly usually generating in a tackle behind the line if scrimmage. He has very good straight-line speed and also shows a lot of ability on special teams on film. He was selected first team all-area this season.

Shane Moran- Braden River
5’10 208lbs
Moran had a very productive season in only playing 8 games this year, he had 65 tackles and 1.5 sacks. His game is quickness and athleticism and shows the ability to rush from the outside linebacker position, is effective at blitzing and pressuring the quarterback. Has strong hands and is able to post out offensive linemen to shed blocks and find the ball. He is not overly physical, but makes a lot of tackles and rarely misses. Consistently slips blocks and makes plays on the ball carrier. He currently has several small school offers.

Kyle McIntosh- Nature Coast Tech
5'11 190lbs
McIntosh had an unbelievable senior season registering 128 tackles and averaging over 16 tackles a game! McIntosh is an outstanding athlete that holds the school record at Nature Coast Tech for the 400m. He was selected Defensive Player of the Year by the Hernando Sun. He's a sideline-to-sideline linebacker that has extraordinary burst and acceleration to the ball-carrier, he's very good in space and also has ability to cover backs and tight ends, he could easily transition to the safety position at the next level. He currently has several small school offers, I believe he can play D-1 without a doubt.
