BROOKS BREAKS DOWN THE CLASS
The 2021 class features a number of decathletes at linebacker with ultra-athletic traits and impressive tools. The unit's collective speed has scouts and coaches salivating over the possibilities for the top prospects in the class. Parsons and Davis are freak athletes with sideline-to-sideline playmaking and blitz skills. Their unique games could make them stars at the next level with defensive coaches building game plans around their talents. Missouri's Nick Bolton is a tackling machine with outstanding instincts and awareness. He racks up tackles at an alarming rate, which is why teams are excited about his potential. With North Carolina's Chazz Surratt and Ohio State's Baron Browning also showing promise, the 2021 class could be one of the best linebacker classes in recent history.
