2025 3 HIGH STUDY

3 High 2025 Study
By The Ballmanac

A full breakdown of the 3-high safety structure that Oregon, Oklahoma, and Jim Knowles (Ohio State → Penn State) leaned on in 2025 — built from 4 seasons and 472 charted 3-high snaps.

Inside: how each program adapted their base run fits, front mechanics, and coverage shells into the 3-high picture; every run stunt, pass stunt, and pressure package tagged and diagrammed; and full coverage rotation trees (Cover 3, Quarters, Tampa, Split Field) run out of the structure. Plus the stats that matter — including the eye-opening 76% unblocked-middle-safety rate on run downs, and why 3-high pressures consistently outperformed base pressures across the board.

If you're looking for a plug-and-play change-up package that layers onto your existing defense without retooling your rules, this is the study.
