Linebackers are expected to be powerhouses in the box while possessing the versatility to cover against the pass. Some can even line up on the first level and bring pressure to the backfield from the edge.
This article will briefly examine the top-ranked linebackers from the class of 2024.
Coming in first is Petrides, a highly talented athlete whit sharp instincts and a limitless ceiling. The 6-foot-2, 224lbs inside linebacker has elite skills and outstanding techniques. Petrides is an absolute menace heading into his junior season as a reigning state champion who holds an offer from Colorado.
Snagging the second-ranked LB spot is Miller, a tone-setting outside backer with unmatched potential. He has an explosive first step and impressive speed, allowing him to fly around and make plays all over the field. Listed at 6-foot-3 and 220lbs, Miller’s level of physicality and strength make him unstoppable. The hard-hitting incoming junior holds an offer from Iowa State, making Miller a must-watch player.
Guida comes in as the third-ranked backer who can line up at Mike or bring pressure from the outside edge. He is a powerful backer with good eyes, impressive closing speed, and the ability to finish strong on every play. The 6-foot-2, 215lbs Guida has recently earned his first Division I offer from the University of Colorado, adding to his rapidly increasing stock value.
Wrapping up the top five LB list is Bursey, an outstanding backer who is perhaps one of the biggest sleepers in the class. His explosiveness and 6-foot, 220lbs frame give him the physical attributes of a monstrous box defender, while his ability to read and react gives him the qualities of a field general. Bursey is a head-turning linebacker on the verge of having a major breakout season.
