Josh Brentlinger  5' 10" 195lbs. LB 2013

Josh Brentlinger is a good-looking, athletic linebacker prospect he utilizes his thick compact build to effectively stack the inside run with good strength. He  flashes good acceleration when chasing to the sideline. Blends sharp pursuit angles with good short-area closing speed to consistently make plays on or behind the line of scrimmage. Plays downhill and keeps his shoulders square when sifting through the trash. He is fluid enough to get thin when needed sliding through the smalls seams in traffic. Brings good power and physicality to the point of attack. He is a solid tackler

who  tries to decleat ball carriers. Displays sound read-and-recognition skills and gets an extremely quick jump on the ball. Flashes good change-of-direction quickness and recovery speed on false steps. Effective in coverage,  Josh plays with a motor and is an intense linebacker. His talent measures up to his hustle and aggressiveness. Josh is also a long snapper, he snaps the ball with force and he's accurate and has solid mechanics. Good overall prospect. ..........................        Intangibles                        9 ...    Athleticism                        8      Size                        8   ...  Strength                        8      Quickness                        8      Agility                        8      Speed                        8      Reads                        9      Potential                         8      Tackling                         8 Overall score   82
