Giddens was one of the state’s leading tacklers with 159 total on the season including 14 of those for a loss. The State Champion linebacker was an AJC All-State player. Giddens is a high-impact defender who lines up all over the field but is primarily on the edge. He is lightning quick, showing reactive feet as he closes on the ball carrier. Really like how he settles into his tackle attempts and closes the gap. Giddens does a great job of squaring up his pads, showing explosive hips resulting in massive tackles. Great motor coming from the backside and you can really appreciate his excellent top-end speed. Giddens’ acceleration and agility assist him to shoot the gaps and create a lot of chaos when lined up in the middle. Not sure he has the frame to weigh too much in college, can see Giddens around 220 or so. Weightlifting numbers suggest there is room to grow. He has a lot of versatility at the next level. Spending time this offseason to become more proficient against the pass while he continues to bulk up should be a focus. No doubt about it, Giddens is a high-IQ football player who plays with an intensity that you look for in D1 football players.
