Three Pressure Cookers You Need To Know

Daveon Crouch, Wharton 2022 DE
2020 Stats: 12 sacks, 8 TFLs, and 62 tackles
Built more like a receiver or slim tight end, Crouch is speed off the edge. Great first step, ability to turn the corner, and enough strength to secure the edge versus the run. Wharton had a great season last season and defensively looked excellent at times. A big reason was due to the play of the defensive line and Crouch.

Keyon Clark, Tampa Bay Tech 2022 DE
2020 Stats: 11.5 sacks, 32 TFLs, and 69 tackles
A pretty prospect. Beautiful frame built to hold weight. A pass rush package with a quick first step. We love his uphill push and he closes quickly. He uses his hands well and regularly has the advantage over linemen because of it.

Chuck Taylor, Auburndale 2022 DT
2020 Stats: 8 sacks, 19 TFLs, and 36 tackles
If a defense can limit the opponent’s run game and force them to become one-dimensional…good things will happen for defense. Must stop the inside run and do it with a monster of a player. Taylor takes up two gaps and is a sure tackler. We love how he can disengage from blockers, keep his eyes alive and find the ball.
