After evaluating 2021 top middle linebacker recruits, 2021 Florida State MLB commit Branden Jennings remained the number one overall middle linebacker recruit at College Football Today. The Sandalwood HS phenom earned 41 D1 offers throughout the recruitment process and the Noles will benefit immensely from one of the the most dominating forces we have witnessed on tape. The fact that Branden is already "Nole Blooded" could help bring "Nole Mercy" to the FSU defense, as his father Bradley Jennings once helped anchor the Seminoles linebacker corp from 1997 to 2001. Standing at nearly 6'4 and 225 pounds, Godzilla will truly give ACC offenses a reason to "Fear The Spear", as Coach Norvell and staff look to bring Florida State football back to national prominence.

TOP MIDDLE LINEBACKERS

When it comes to top middle linebackers in the this year's 2020 NFL Draft, there aren't many MLB's projected to go in the 1st three rounds, as Kenneth Murray has gained most of the attention thus far and rightfully so. But we believe that people are overlooking 2020 NFL Draft LB Jacob Phillips, who had 113 tackles in LSU's National Championship season and has all of the athletic attributes to a be a big time linebacker in the National Football League. Phillips had a outstanding 2020 NFL combine and was able to post a 4.66, 40 yard dash, while measuring in at 6'3,230 pounds. His 4.33 shuttle backed up his agility seen on tape and his 39" vertical will be super beneficial in zone coverage. He was able to leap 10'5" in the broad jump, which puts him in an elite category athletically and his high motor can be utilized in a multitude of ways on the defensive side of the football. In comparison to top 2021 MLB recruit Branden Jennings, both can be considered "All-Purpose Linebackers", who have the ability to line up anywhere on the field and make a major impact with their uncanny athletic abilities.
