Aiden Hall 6’1 200 LB/SS
Hall is a versatile playmaker who can provide roster flexibility and productivity at various positions. With enough size to be a linebacker, Hall shows tremendous skill at the slot and safety positions. He can be productive in zone coverage while reading the QB to make a play and shows solid enough reaction time to be effective in man coverage when lined up at the slot. However, he always maintains his linebacker instinct which allows him to make plays at all levels of the defense. As a tackle machine, Hall uses his closing speed well to generate tackles for losses and affect the opposing QBs. He’s also physical enough to take on blocks to get to the ball and make his presence known when making hits. Look for Hall to be a playmaker that seems to be everywhere on the field and contribute at a high level.

Kyron Burroughs 5’8 WR/RB
Burroughs is a dynamic playmaker who can make things happen with the ball in his hand. With elite acceleration, quickness, and elusiveness in the open field, he can be a focal point of an offense. As a slot receiver, he’s able to operate in space when receiving bubble screens, quick slants, and jet sweeps. With a natural knack for making guys miss, Burroughs is fully equipped to take touches as a running back and be effective as WR/RB hybrid. He shows great vision and lateral quickness when evading defenders in one on one situations. Look for Burroughs to be one of the better offensive talents in the 5A region and carry the load with his running and receiving.
So I did a thing today. Had fun @JSUGamecockFB camp today!!! Won the WR MVP at the camp and had a lil photoshoot with my bro afterwards. Thanks @CoachRGarrett!!! @GeauxBeaux8 @Nate_Lavender43 @coachBoo81 @AL5AFootball @YellowhammerFB @DexPreps @Osirissmith_ pic.twitter.com/gMrZty6GnZ

Deshawn Love 6’1 260 DT
Love is an impactful interior rusher that affects the run and the pass. With optimal size and strength, he can clog the middle and take on doubles- allowing other rushers one on one opportunities to make a play. However, Love is elite at getting to the backfield himself with excellent hand movement, hand placement, and motor. Shows nuance with well timed clubs, rips, and swim moves when working through blocks. He does a great job of providing an interior penetration and forcing QBs and RBs to the outside. Look for Love to be a consistent factor on the line of scrimmage and boost his stock as through the season.

Brylan Jordan 6’0 200 MLB
Jordan is an interior linebacker who excels at getting downhill and stopping the run. As a traditional mike linebacker, he has a keen skill of flowing to the ball. Rather it is being physical at the point of attack with blockers or using his lateral quickness to slide into gaps and make plays. Jordan’s 200-pound frame is a brick wall for ball carriers. He constantly seems to drive guys backward, hit them with force, and not allow yards after contact. With Jordan at the heart of an impressive linebacking core, Pleasant Grove should be stout against the run and force offenses to be one-dimensional.
