The linebackers are up today as part of the position group breakdown for the Xecutives event at Southeastern University in Lakeland on Sunday. There’s one county that’s got a stranglehold on the position in terms of invitees, while one of the four counties in the coverage area got shutout this year. This is also one of the four position groups that does not have a single member of the Class of 2018 on its list, although the nineteen players are fairly evenly distributed among the classes of 2016 and ’17. This group also features all three MVP’s from the individual camps leading into the main event.

Some extremely talented and already established talent graces this group, while a few relatively unknown prospects could turn some heads once everyone is assembled and the competition begins. One thing’s for certain with this group. If we could put the pads on for just ONE moment in time on Sunday, this would be the collection of players that excites us to no-end with the amount of diverse talent and genetical disposition to play the spot.
