A fun rag doll highlight video of a 2026 DL

One of my favorite things in the business is a small town defensive lineman that will be a DI player on some level just living in rag doll mode on Friday nights.

Brysen Maxwell-Steele (6-0, 300) of Marlin has 200 tackles and 74 tackles for loss in the last two seasons, and Marlin is still in the playoffs so those numbers will climb...

He looks like he's calf roping in half of this video lol

My 3A high school team in the early 90s (Anahuac) had three kids who ran 4.4 to 4.6 in the backfield. Our QB Mikail Ricks went on to play for San Diego and the Cowboys.  We routinely had 600 yard combined rushing games.  We knew we were going to state until Fairfield and Tony Brackens in the semi finals.

Our center weighed maybe 170 pounds.  Each play Brackens would smack him to the ground and reach over and grab Ricks or the RB before they could handle the ball or hand it off.   Had multiple linemen in tears.  That was the first time I saw a for real NFL ready player playing against kids.  Was a sad ride home from Huntsville.

I remember that Anahuac team ... Ricks was really good at SFA too

I remember playing against Marlin when they had about 3-5 D1 level players in mid 2000s and they beat everyone until they ran into an Atlanta team at state that beat the brakes off them.
