During the off-season I want to put some work into player evaluation. Obviously that’s a big part of recruiting, and we have a full staff of guys to do it. But I want to make sure that my own personal criteria are becoming a little more clear. I’m going to start with Linebackers, because that’s the easiest one for me. This is a work in progress, so if you see something I missed, or think I may be over-emphasizing a point, I’d love some feedback. Just leave a comment and we can start compiling a nice list.Aggressiveness: For linebackers it all starts here. If the kid doesn’t want to get in the mix, he can’t help us much. Does he seek contact, or shy away from it? Is he running around blocks rather than taking them on? Bonus points for a nasty streak. At the lower levels (Middle School and Freshman), a guy may have just not had the light come on yet. If he possesses a lot of other tools, keep working with him – it does happen.
