Mawdo Diallo
, 6-2, 199, DE, 2025, John Burroughs
@MawMDKR40
One of the class of 2025 edge pass rushers you have to like coming up on the risers list, 6-2, 199, Diallo does have some length to his frame and has the speed and quickness coming from that left side to be an enforcer both against the run game as a stopper and a pressure guy that will be looking to get into the backfield in 2023 and create some havoc. Could emerge as a pass rusher threat that will pick up some key sacks for the John Burroughs defense this season.
Brock Harmon
, 6-3, 220, DE, 2025, Park Hill South@BrockHarmon94
Among the class of 2025 Defensive Ends at this Winters 6Star Football Showcases its hard not to argue that 6-3, 220 edge rusher and Park Hill South standout Brock Harmon was not the best of the best and the man on top that we saw. Harmon punched his ticket to the FINALS with a big showing at the Midwest Showcase in St. Joseph in December and is one of the top looking juniors on the radar to know for this upcoming 2023 season. Harmon is tough to block on the right edge and is one of those guys looking for a very big season this year as a power edge player that has some toughness and some length to his frame. Also a standout student, Harmon reports a 3.8 GPA in the classroom.
Darius Long
, 6-2, 230, DE, 2025, Rockhurst@dariuslong12
Long will look to be one of the key veterans in trenches for a Rockhurst teams that retuns a lot of talent and this left tackle and defensive end for the Hawks is built for the game and the trench battle. Long at 6-2, 230 pounds is one of the guys that uses his hands well, we have been impressed by his blocking at left tackle, one of those guys that uses his hands well and can lock up a guy and then dominate and take his man way out of the action and down the field. Long is a hot prospect on the radar in KC and a big man to know for 2023.
Ben Nichtula
, 6-0, 220, DE, 2025, Louisiana@bennichtula
Louisiana’s Ben Nichtula earned a FINALS invite for his impressive performance at the St. Louis Showcase this year and the 6-0, 220 edge pass rusher was one of the top athletes we saw in his class and among the better edge play makers we have on the radar for 2023. Nichtula can hit you from many angles with his rushing, inside out out techniques and is a player that has powerful hands and aggressive style about his rush also, not to mention that he can get off the snap quickly and engage quickly into the action on timely rushes to get right at the heard of the action and create some pressure and disrupt the offense and running games chances for success.
Ian Turner
, 6-0, 235, DE, 2025, John Burroughs@TurnerIan55
6-0, 235 Ian Turner from John Burroughs was one of the standout edge rushers at the St. Louis Showcase this winter and is one of the guys on the radar to know in the 2025 Missouri DE class. Turner earned Honorable Mention All-Conference honors in 2022 as a sophomore standout and will be looking to follow that up with another big year as one of the top pass rushers in the St. Louis area this year. 235 pounds, Turner is a power rusher that likes to bull over the tackle and use his hands to power through right into the heart of the offense.
Trevor Wilson
, 6-2, 225, DE, 2025, Springfield Central@TrevorW2025
Its hard not to be very impressed by the edge play from Springfield Central’s Trevor Wilson who had a very big super sophomore season for the Bulldogs defensive unit. Wilson set a school record last season with10 sacks, and broke the school record for tackles for losses with 25. Trevor also had 69 tackles, and added one forced fumble as one of the most tenacious edge defenders to know in Southwest Missouri. Wilson plays a hybrid DE and linebacker spot, one of those guys that owns the edge and can get up the field and be a quick play reader, a name to know in SW Missouri football action.
