2023 rankings were released, and we saw ALOT of new additions and changes. Today we will be taking a deeper look into the 2023 defensive linemen rankings highlighting the new ranks and stock risers. This position group is DEEP for the state of Maryland, let’s take a look..
Stock Risers:
Rk. #6| Mason Robinson Mason Robinson 6'4" | 225 lbs | DL McDonogh | 2023 State MD | 6’4 225 | McDonough
Offers: 10+ D1
Robinson has had hype bubbling since the cancelled 2020 season. In 2021 we finally got to see all the hype about him absolutely spew out onto the field. Mason is a very polished defensive lineman, he not only has more than enough physical talent, but his technique is what sets him apart from a lot of the rising seniors. With current #1 player in the class of 2022 in Dani Dennis-Sutton Dani Dennis-Sutton 6'6" | 240 lbs | DL McDonogh | 2022 State MD off to Penn State the spotlight will now be on Mason. With the help of the other members of the haunting McDonough defensive line, Robinson should be on his way to another monster season. Robinson was invited to the 2022 National Combine at the All-American Bowl this weekend.

Rk. #7| Dashawn Womack Dashawn Womack 6'5" | 240 lbs | DL St. Frances | 2023 State MD | 6’5 240lbs | St. Francis
Offers: 10= D1
Womack has the frame any power 5 defensive coordinator would jump at, he’s college game ready physically. Womack has had the opportunity to compete against the top prospects in the nation at, Mater Dei, De La Salle, and St. Thomas Aquinas to name a few. Against that type of talent Womack is still a force on the end of the D-line. Womacks athleticism stands out a lot, especially when he’s in pursuit, he moves pretty fast for a guy that’s 6’5 240lbs. This week Womack was selected to play in the 2023 Under Armour All-American Bowl after competing at the UA Next All-American Game.

New Ranks:
Rk. #20| Julien Moutome Julien Moutome 6'4" | 225 lbs | DL Saint Frances | 2023 State MD | 6’4 225lbs | Mount St. Joseph
Offers: None
Moutome made a name for himself with his relentlessness and athleticism. He fights from whistle to whistle, sideline to sideline. If he can’t get the initial push, he’s baring down the QB’s neck outside the pocket. With the bulk of talent in the Mount St. Joseph defensive backfield Moutome will play a huge roll in their defensive success. Julien is a 3-sport athlete, playing basketball, football, and does shotput on the track & field team.

Rk. #17| Daron Deniton Daron Deniton 6'4" | 350 lbs | DL Mervo | 2023 State MD | 6’4 350lbs | Mervo
Offers: None
Deniton is an absolute immovable object, a mountain in the middle of that ferocious Mervo Mustang defense. He just moves offensive linemen around him like water around a rock. Daron is the type of player that makes you realize how a dominant DT can change an entire game. Denitons presence and play throughout the season helped lead the Mustangs to a State Championship, where they held Dundalk’s lethal running game to a minimum allowing them to take the title home.

Rk. #18| Zamonte Simms Zamonte Simms 6'1" | 210 lbs | DL Dunbar | 2023 State MD | 6’1 210lbs | Dunbar
Offers: None
Causes havoc on the edge in the 1A/2A division. At his size I love him as a stand-up DE, in college an outside or middle linebacker. For the Poets he lines up at stand-up end, outside linebacker, and interior defensive line. Very versatile player who shows he’s strong enough to hold his own in the trenches and athletic enough to chase down RB’s, QB’s, and WR’s.

Rk. #15| Zyir Daniel Zyir Daniel 6'2" | 240 lbs | DL Calvert Hall College | 2023 State MD | 6’2 230lbs | Calvert Hall
Offers: None
Zyir is impressive DE who is already turning heads prior to a great championship season. On Dec.19th I had the opportunity to evaluate Daniel at the Gameday Recruits 1% Showcase in Gambrills, MD where he stood out against top recruits. This is where Daniel got on my radar, I thought he was a new kid that I’ve never seen play before but as we spoke, I realized he was this DE at Calvert Hall that’s been buzzing. During the camp he shined bright by consistently winning the abundance of reps he had. He showed that he has an arsenal of moves, executing the speed rush, spin, and chop.
JUNIOR SEASON HIGHLIGHTS. Blessed to have great teammates and coaches w/our journey ending with a MIAA championship! @CHCTouchdown @CHCCoachWard @CoachKing_FB @Coach_EA @LukeHckey71 @CoachJay34 @BallCoach_MWard #foe #hallin
