LB Lonnell Owens-Pabon Class of 2022 South River HS (MD) 6'0,190 GPA - 3.57 (Honors) Player notes - Top 2022 LB recruit Lonnell Owens-Pabon is a high octane defensive player, who possesses outstanding closing speed and plays with tenacity on the gridiron of Maryland HS football. Lining up as an edge rusher, Lonnell can be seen quickly penetrating the opposing teams backfield and wreaking havoc play after play. His fast twitch off the edge makes him extremely hard to handle in the trenches, as he is able to fight through double teams very easily and create turnovers for the South River defense. Pabon is a brutalizing tackler and keeps his legs churning to finish tackles, as he possesses an extremely motor and exhibits brute strength when wrapping up ball carriers. His ability off the edge is quite intriguing to say the least, as he has an extremely quick get off and an innate ability to dislodge the football to cause fumbles.

LB John Paul Janik Class of 2022 Gulf Coast HS (FL) 6'1,195 GPA - 4.52 Player notes - Top 2022 LB recruit John Paul Janik is a highly aggressive linebacker, who reads his keys instinctively and is able to shoot into the opponents backfield with outstanding acceleration to make bone crushing tackles. Janik can be seen lined up at both the MLB and OLB positions, as he is extremely versatile on the defensive side of the football and plays with a very high motor in the process. John uses his body very well when hog tying ball carriers and is very technically sound upon engagement, as he can be seen taking out the levers of opposing backs in his 2019 highlight's. He proves to have the ability to cover ground quickly, as he possesses uncanny agility for a 2022 LB recruit and never ceases from keeping his feet moving to finish tackles. I like the way he keeps his arms extended when engaging with O-linemen out of the edge and Janik is able to detach quickly to swarm to the football and make the tackle.

Hunter shows great hip mobility when defending the pass and has the agility to cover sideline to sideline, as he can be witnessed zooming out to the flat to break up the pass attempt in his Forest Lake highlight's. When projecting his ability at the next level, I believe Hunter will make a great SS/OLB with his disruptive style of play and overall instincts in pass coverage. He demonstrates very sound tackling technique and plays with a very high motor, when attacking the football and takes great pursuit angles when tracking down ball carriers.
