Most physical

What Scouts Inc. looks for: These guys are hard-hitting athletes who love the collision aspect of the game. They must be able to punish the ball carrier or receiver while still attacking under control; it doesn't do any good if you miss. The more aggressive and intimidating the better; nothing is more demoralizing to an opponent than a high-impact collision on one of its skilled athletes.

3. Jamie Wood (Pickerington, Ohio/Central)

Wood never takes a play off on either side of the football, but is most impressive when he is "delivering the wood." He is a tremendous edge blitzer who can completely disrupt all action in the offensive backfield -- run or pass. He often can run down the ball carrier or quarterback from behind. Wood also carries over his hitting prowess to special teams, where he makes pad-cracking tackles on the coverage units.
