Aiden Johnson – TE/DE

Scouting Report

It seems with Aiden that when you go against this kid you better have a good pre-game meal and you better buckle your chin strap good and tight because he is going to bring all he has and is going to battle you. He has good size and a good thick lower body and he should be able to add some more size with time in a college weight program. Overall, he seems to have good size for play in the trenches. He is an explosive kid that is capable of quickly getting off on the snap of the ball. He is a very physical player at the point of attack. He quickly explodes out of his stance with good pad level. He displays the ability to consistently shoot his hands, get under a blocker’s pads, generate good power from his lower body, win the leverage battle, and stand up and knock back blockers. He is quick and violent when engaging a blocker and shows the ability to quickly shed. He moves well laterally in a short-area and at times can quickly side-step and avoid blockers to get penetration. He is at his best between the tackles and shows good hustle for a big man that will work to get to the ball. He can be tough against the run. As a pass rusher he can get some initial push with a bull rush and displays the ability to work to half-a-man and be able to come off and get some pressure. Aiden is an easy kid to like. He plays hard and is physical. Offensive scouting report will be added soon….
