NG/OG Darius Lott Class of 2023 Independence HS (MS) 5'6,340 2023 ALL-AMERICAN NG Player notes - Top 2023 D-Line recruit Darius Lott has a remarkable upside that projects him extremely well as a dominant nose guard and/or a brutalizing interior O-Line recruit. Darius proves to be developing quick feet for his enormous stature in his Sophomore year highlight's, as he is able to mirror much smaller defenders in pass-sets and uses outstanding leverage keep his blocking assignments completely neutralized. Given his "Steel Curtain" 3-4 nose guard powerful frame and quick fire off (FO), Lott projects as a top 2023 NG recruit that will demand a double or triple team. His highly combative & disruptive style of play as an interior defensive linemen, will inevitably increase the number of unblocked defensive players and leave at least one LB roaming free, while also eliminating a OG's abilities to pull and kick out the DE. 2023 All-American NG Darius Lott can be witnessed using stellar placement with his open hand punches, while proving to be able to abruptly disengage from blockers and quickly locate ball carriers to bring them to an abrupt halt at the line of scrimmage. Lott has the overall capabilities to be dominant on either side of the football on the interior line and is being added to the Top 2023 DT recruit ranking on College Football Today RokFin for the April NCAA Football Evaluation period re-rank! |
