Evan Greve 6'4,225LB OLB/MLB Class of 2019 Eastside Catholic HS (WA) - All-American Report

Evan Greve is a RELENTLESS linebacker who can fit in a variety of different defensive schemes at the next level and create massive problems for an offense. He is one of the best Hybrid OLB's I have seen for the Class of 2019 at being able to "hold the edge" and uses his 6'4-225-LB-frame masterfully to disengage from oncoming blockers. You see this on the first play of his junior season highlights, as he appears to be caught inside. Evan is able to use his extremely "active" hands to scrape back to the outside to gain positioning, while keeping his eyes locked in the backfield to make a beautiful stop at the line of scrimmage. You see more of the same active hands on the next play, as Evan is able to detach nearly instantaneously from the receiver attempting to pin him down inside to make another sizzling stop at the line of scrimmage. On the third play, Evan drops into zone coverage perfectly and is able to keep his eyes locked on the QB in order to slide into perfect positioning to take an interception all the way for a touchdown! He shows more outstanding ability playing up in the 8-man box on the next play, as he delivers a bone-shattering hit on the ball carrier in the backfield. His ability to line up and play in the trenches at such a high level and then drop into pass coverage can be seen once again, as Evan is able drop into the flats and devour the screen play at 1:00 minute into his nationally ranked highlights. Evan also can dominate in the middle of a defense and is seen creating pressure up the A-gaps, as he athletically swifts his way to a QB sack. Evan is exceptionally quick to the football at around 1:52 and is able to read plays using his quick synaptic thinking, as he is a remarkably keen linebacker and obviously going to make a huge impact on any defense at the next level. This young man's play has a uncanny resemblance to last year's Oklahoma State signee Braden Spicer, who played with the same aggression and outstanding technique as Evan Greve exhibits in his highly graded junior season game film. All in all, I do not see many being able to "get the edge" on this young man, as he shows superior athletics and knowledge of how to use his God-given talent at the Hybrid OLB position. He also is one heck of a MLB and can slide into pass coverage better than most young men at his size. Evan Greve is a player who is going to benefit from our new Scout Trout Numerical rating algorithm, which is being input this weekend as prospects are graded on 12 components that are needed to excel at a high level in the world of college football on and off the field. Thank you Evan Greve for accepting your Scout Trout All-American Nomination and best of luck at the NorthWest Showcase and USC Rising Stars camps!​
