Owen Pappoe

Developed as a prospect at an early stage, both physically and technically. Drew college offers in middle school. Possesses a relatively streamline build with adequate muscle mass on a narrow frame. One of the better overall athletes nationally with some of the best combine testing numbers of the last several recruiting cycles. Twitchy athlete who translates the testing explosion onto the field. Uses his outstanding closing speed to disrupt opposing offenses both as a blitzer and striker in space. Strong at the point of attack with the ability to take on and shed blocks as a run defender. Shows sideline-to-sideline range and is outstanding in defending the flats. Will need to continue honing his downfield coverage skills as he primarily operates within the box and flats at the high school level. Has the type athleticism and technical ability to be an instant contributor for a Power 5 program and the profile that NFL franchises currently covet in off-ball linebackers.
