Anthony Felder, O'Dea, 6-3, 225, senior, inside linebacker
The Sporting News/SchoolSports magazine ranks O'Dea's Anthony Felder as the No. 21 prospect in the West. Rivals.com says he's the ninth-best inside linebacker in the nation. Defending national champion LSU wants him on its roster. So do Ohio State, Penn State and about every Pac-10 team.
But for the next four months, the hard-hitting Felder is all Monte Kohler's.
"In addition to the talent he has, (he brings) the notion of just being one of the guys," the O'Dea head coach said. "Obviously he's a great football player and a great kid. All the kids look up to him and respect him."
Last season Felder, playing in the shadow of highly touted seniors such as Chancellor Young and Andre Geraghty, quietly racked up 446 yards and five touchdowns. On defense, he had even more of an impact with 146 tackles and five sacks.
"To compare him to a couple of current Washington linebackers, Felder has the size and hitting ability of Tim Galloway, but the speed, footwork, tenacity and play-making ability of Tahj Bomar," Chris Fetters, editor of Dawgman.com, said. "And he's a winner to boot. In short, he's the real deal."
