Top DIAA Players of the Fall: Lock
Top DIAA Players of the Fall: Lock
And we're almost done with our lists of top DIAA players from the fall.
This time it's the locks, and second row is often a tough one to populate partly because you can be a great lock and not get seen (no matter how big you are) because you do a lot of in-tight work—hitting rucks, making tackles around the breakdown, pushing in the scrum.
So with that in mind it's very possible we missed some players. At the same time, those we named are all very good indeed.
The GRR Top Players are brought to you by Next Phase Rugby, a USA-made and maintained app that connects college rugby programs and HS rugby players. It's a great way for college programs to find players they wouldn't know otherwise, and a great way for high schoolers to create and finalize their best college prospects.
