Kearsley mentions two players against whom he went head on during one-on-one blocking drills. He was beat 3 times in 25 reps.



“Two of the guys that beat me jumped early and were offsides, so I don’t count those,” he said. “The one guy that beat me straight up was an outside linebacker from Servite [Jherremya Leuta-Douyere]. He’s a very good player and he was really hard to block.”



Kearsley also went up against Sawyer Powell and had some good things to say about him.



“He’s smaller, but he’s really fast, so I knew each time that he was going to try and beat me with a speed rush,” he said. “Because I was ready for it, anticipating what he was going to do, I was able to block him well. He’s very good though. He’s real fast and very athletic. I hope that BYU offers him.”



Kearsley has also taken note of how much time BYU outside linebacker coach Kelly Poppinga has spent coaching Powell.



“I’ve noticed that coaches spend the most time with those they’re the most interested in,” he said. “So it’s obvious to me that they’re very interested in Sawyer. I hope they offer him. He told me that he’ll commit the second they offer, so I hope that things work out there.”



Kearsley and Powell have become good friends off the practice field.



Here's hoping that we get:



Servite teammates: Pau'u/Leuta-Douyere and Powell.
