@Jackson_Greear Top edge 28 in the state!
High-upside EDGE with a ceiling that hasn’t even been scratched yet.
Long. Explosive. Twitchy off the ball.
Relentless motor. Violent hands.
Can bend. Can set the edge. Can close.
All the tangibles you look for — length, frame, athleticism — and he’s just beginning to understand how dominant he can be. The scary part?
He’s ONLY a sophomore
Poised for a tremendous season ahead. Stock ⬆️
Best football is still in front of him. @PrepRedzone@PrepRedzoneOH@CoachWells1 l

Don’t get it twisted—this isn’t a position change, it’s an athletic translation.
💪 Big frame with room to grow → prototype body for the edge
🧠 Elite reaction speed → reading snap counts & reacting off the ball
⚡ Explosive lateral movement → sudden edge speed & counter moves
🦵 Powerful hips & lower body → leverage, bend, and violent first step
🧤 Hand-eye coordination → hand fighting, swipe/rip, block destruction
🧊 Composure under pressure → calm chaos in the trenches
Goalies live on balance, flexibility, toughness, and split-second decisions.
That skill set? Built for the defensive line.
Raw. Powerful. Explosive. Coachable.
This is how you turn elite multi-sport athleticism into a problem off the edge.
