Dont'a Hightower MLB, Alabama

Dont’a Hightower is a beast of a Linebacker with a height of 6’4” and 260 pounds of weight. Not only is he big and strong but Hightower also has great speed to match which hands itself to the way he plays. Watching him play in a game against Arkansas you could quite clearly see he preferred going for the sack rather than handling the cover play. Personally I find that his ability to deal with passes into coverage rather poor however he does support runs fairly well. That said, when he rushes the QB he regularly hits which is always going to have a psychological effect on the thrower. He is currently rated 2nd out of 107 linebackers up for draft.
