From Allen American all area article:

"The Leopards’ record-setting offense drew plenty of attention during the 2020 season, but the team’s defense had plenty of say during the team’s 13-win voyage to the regional finals. That included a stacked linebacker corps with all-district first-teamer Slaughter tackling any opponent in sight. The 5-foot-10 senior averaged more than 10 tackles per game on his way to 142 for the year. He was also a valuable cog in Lovejoy’s pass rush with 10.5 sacks. "

No doubt UNT alum Coach Brandon Jackson played a role in this as well. My new favorite player.

Undersized but this kid flies around and makes plays.

The perfect kind of PWO we should be getting. Excited about his potential after a year or two in the weight room, I could see him fitting in the Tyreke Davis slot seamlessly

Maybe he is not through growing.

Just learned that Blake is the son of one of my wife’s friends, so we are practically related.   I also learned that he was initially interested in SMU.  I’m glad he looks to be landing in a better place.

An extra 1 for the appropriate use of seamlessly.
