Through this we saw a glimpse of the production we will get out of him this year as a starter. Mark has a second to none work ethic, great motor, and a pure love for the game of football.

Bio: Jonas Eversman is the best example we have of someone who places the team needs above their own. He is constantly doing the extra things that most kids would not notice (cleaning trash, helping younger players, ect.) Having to miss his sophomore year due to injury we are sure Jonas came back in his junior year to play on both sides of the ball depending on the game. Jonas is most comfortable at OT where he is expected to start this year.

Bio: Ty Clayton had to grow fast in his sophomore year as injury to a starter had him playin offensive tackle in the tournament. Ty was able to take this opportunity and prove he was a Friday night player by performing at a high level for the four biggest weeks of the year. This was followed by a Junior year where our Oline was not as set as it was the prior year and would see Ty start depending on the week. Ty has really transformed his mentality this off season and we expect this to have him playing on both sides of the ball.

Gus started at guard for LCC last year and is expected to compete for either a ILB or DL spot on defense this year. He is extremely athletic for an offensive lineman with solid footwork and the ability to get to the second level. Gus has become a lot stronger after a consistent three years in the weight room and we are excited to see that continue to transition to Friday nights.

Tage has great athleticism for being a lineman and is not afraid to mix it up with bigger kids. Tage’s growth can be attributed to his love and dedication to the game of football. He is constantly out on the field getting extra work on his own trying to max out his potential in this sport. Shidler's Junior season saw him as a all conference and all area center.

JR. Season Stats:
45 Tackles, 6 TFL, 3 Sack, 4 Hurries, 1 PD
Athletic:
Bench: 205 lbs
Squat: 375 lbs
Clean: 275 lbs
Bio: Dominic Delgatto is going to take the mantle from his older brother Ryan as one of the best pass rushers in the state. With a good frame to be and edge rusher and a meticulous attention to detail Dom has improved drastically in his first two years as a high school football player. While we knew since he came in he had the ability to be a big time player for us the uptick in his physicality this year earned him time as a pass rusher in our third in long packages. If he has the same growth this year you will never see #55 off the field.
Tommy Brown #51
6'5 205lb DE/OLB/OL
Class of 2027
SO. Season Stats:
3 Tackles and a pass deflection
Athletic:
Bench: 205 lbs
Squat: 225 lbs
Clean: 275 lbs
Bio: Tommy Brown may have a higher ceiling than any athlete we have had at LCC in my tenure. A 6'5 frame on a kid who is not stuck in a "Big" mentality has allowed for him to mesh OLB and DE together and become a hybrid player for our defense. Tommy is the most impactful when it comes to holding contain for the LOS and pass rush.
Tatum Adriano #8

Class of 2028
SO. Season Stats:
5 Tackles, 1 Sack, 1 FR
Athletic:
Bench: 205 lbs
Squat: 225 lbs
Clean: 275 lbs
Bio: When Tatum first got to high school it was after playing QB and ILB in middle school for two years. While he was dominate at these positions in middle school it did not feel as natural in high school. Around week 2 of his Sophomore year he came up and said he felt like the move to DL would be good for him. Tatum took this new role and was a starter in a couple of weeks. He had a good couple games this year of splitting double teams, sacking QBs, and freeing up our ILB. Our staff is excited to see the damage he can do to opposing offenses in the next two years.

After his season sitting out Chase hit a growth spurt and changed positions to a DE/ OLB where he has excelled and quickly found a starting spot. Chase started his first game in week two of this year and walked away with multiple sacks and TFL's. Chase Hittle will be one that continues to push the standards of Dline here at LCC.
