Steven Soles has been a productive EDGE for a state championship team. He knows how to succeed at the position, but he doesn’t necessarily have the desired size that teams are looking for at the next level. Some call him a tweener. Kentucky coaches compare him to one of their most productive havoc producers of the 21st century.
Listed at 6-foot-2, 215 pounds, Soles punches above his weight against high-level competition. Last fall he tallied 17 sacks for Powell High School, the defending Class 5A State Champions. His production garnered interest from schools like Alabama, Miami and Virginia Tech, but it seemed as though many were hesitant to go all in on the tweener.
