Ask any hardcore football fan and they’ll tell you they love linebacker play. In recent years, the game of football has finessed itself into a padded version of flag football where-by quarterbacks and wide receivers rule the day. However, there are still some out there that can appreciate the physicality of the game and what it represents in the grand scheme of things.
Toughness is a word Parkview Baptist HS, Louisiana linebacker Dante Harris wears like a backpack as he patrols the field every Friday night. Unafraid to mix it up, Harris has GPS on all ball carries on the field and will arrive at their location with some intentions. Harris is not your drag down, spin around tackler. When he comes, he’s bringing entire Schutt pack with him and that’s helmet along with shoulder pads. There are many frames on Harris’ film displaying him hugging QBs, RBs and WRs as he buries them into the unforgiving gridiron sod. Harris has a knack for diagnosing the play, defeating blocks and achieving his goal which is intimately introducing himself to offensive personnel seeking unauthorized passage across the line of scrimmage.
At 6’1″ 22o lbs. Harris has “that look”. That look is the eye ball test for Division I football. His game seems quite suited for an inside LB spot as his comfort zone seems to be in-between the tackles where men are at work. However, when Harris has to stray outside of the box to get a loose footed offender, he seems to be game for the chase and gets his man. With a player of this quality working the middle of Parkview Baptists’ defense this upcoming season, they seem to be in good hands.
