The defensive backs will be coming up shortly so stay tuned for the top seniors to watch there. For now, let’s dive right into some of the top linebackers that have made their way up to our rankings and are some worthy prospects to watch for this season.
Tory Morgan Tory Morgan 5'11" | 195 lbs | LB Edna Karr | 2022 State LA , Edna Karr
In 2020 Morgan an impressive 131 tackles, 42 TFLs, and 17 sacks. Tory is of average height but has an athletic, lean build. He is absolutely a beast at the linebacker position. He can fly hill and lay the wood on ball carriers. He’s a hard-hitting linebacker that can cover the pass as just well as the run. Very impressive last season. Holds a few DI offers and should rake in more offers this season. Keep your eye on him for a big senior season.
Jordan Toaston Jordan Toaston 6'3" | 230 lbs | LB Catholic (Baton Rouge) | 2022 State LA , Catholic (Baton Rouge)
Toaston definitely passes the eye test out there on the field. At 6’3”, 230 ILB, he is an intimidating force out there on the edge. He’s a linebacker who is better with his hand in the dirt getting after the quarterback. He’s got a good explosion off the ball and can beat blockers with his speed and finesse. Look for his stock to improve this season. One player who could make his name know too many this season.
Connor Orgeron Connor Orgeron 6'2" | 220 lbs | LB John Curtis | 2022 State LA , John Curtis
Connor is more of your inside linebacker who can rack up a bunch of tackles and tackles for losses per game. He is also proficient in covering the pass. He can cover receivers, trail them and make a play on the ball. He has an athletic lean build with room to add more mass to his frame. FBS type of prospect who can produce in high quantity and quality on defense. Shows excellent technique relative to the middle linebacker position.
Nunzio Martello Nunzio Martello 6'3" | 230 lbs | LB St. Thomas Aquinas | 2022 State LA , St. Thomas Aquinas
Nunzio could be one that shocks many this year and could move up a lot of recruiting boards. He looks like a prominent edge rusher who has long arms and can beat blockers with a number of moves off the LOS. I like his size at almost 6’4” 230. I think he continues to add mass to his frame and could very well be a breakout player this season.
