Abrams emphasized that his skill set isn’t based on one standout ability but rather a combination of talents that allow him to be a “game-wrecker.” This approach was effective during his time at McDonogh School in Owings Mills, Maryland, near Baltimore, and it carried over to his role with the Crimson Tide linebackers.
He shared insights about the defensive system he’s part of, explaining how it’s heavily reliant on linebackers. According to Abrams, the scheme functions with the philosophy that “where the linebackers go, that’s where the defense goes.” This linebacker-centric strategy contributed to the team becoming one of the top-10 defenses in the nation.
What set his coaching experience apart, Abrams said, was the candid feedback he received from his coach. He appreciated being told directly about areas for improvement, including increasing his strength to become more effective at shedding blocks and refining his technique in pass coverage. This transparent communication provided clear pathways for Abrams to elevate his performance on the field.
He concluded his reflections with enthusiasm, expressing optimism about his growth and future within the defensive frame
work.
