CLASS OF 2023 TOP 100: OL Prospects Emerge

In the past month since releasing our Class of 2023 rankings, we have brought you dozens of prospects to keep an eye on. As many sources only watch film and listen to what coaches and others have to say about certain athletes, we have been fortunate to see a majority of these gifted young men in games, practices, combines and camps to fully see what many of them are truly bringing to the table. As spring has arrived, we will continue to bring you prospects in all classes, but want to make sure that you benefit from our hard work and passion of seeing these athletes perform - live. Because we had the pleasure of attending so many things, we made sure to include many of the rising prospects – along with those football players who are already established. With the pandemic season in 2020, the only way to really evaluate and judge many of these prospects was to get and see, which is something we have done for decades. Today, we will bring you more quality from the top tier players in the state for the competitive and talented Class of 2023. Here are five offensive linemen to keep an eye on: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="128080" first="Harrison" last="Green"], OL, 6-3, 295, Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas</strong><strong>. </strong>There are a lot of people who will be surprised when they see this young man play this coming season. What he did over the past year is put in the work to not only get noticed, but help the Raiders win football games. Becoming one of the more technical line prospects in the class, who has developed some impressive work habits and has the chance – in his junior year – to make a major impact. Watch him play and you will see that his passion for the sport has become something that continues to drive him. Strong and athletic, he will outwork you. <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13234710/Harrison-Green">https://www.hudl.com/profile/13234710/Harrison-Green</a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="128028" first="Knijeah" last="Harris"], OG, 6-4, 305, Bradenton IMG Academy. </strong>After his freshman season at Port St. Lucie Centennial, his first year in Bradenton certainly proved to be a springboard – as he had the opportunity to go against some of the best in the country – and has been recognized with numerous offers from high-level programs. This is a very athletic big man who has the opportunity – with two full seasons left – to continue learning and elevating his stock. While there are still things to learn, he is making the most of his chances this spring – and into the summer. <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12991955/Knijeah-Harris">https://www.hudl.com/profile/12991955/Knijeah-Harris</a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="128031" first="Tommy" last="Kinsler"], OL, 6-6, 300, Ocala Trinity Catholic</strong><strong>. </strong>When watching the linemen in this class, here was someone who really stood out – and showcased some major ability. His size, quickness and athletic ability continues to bring college coaches back to his film. This is one of those prospects who wasn't talked about a lot early last year, but that began to change as more and more people watched him perform. There is no doubt that if he stays healthy and continues to work on his technique, he is going to be special for a long time. <strong>TAPE:</strong> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14920586/Tommy-Kinsler">https://www.hudl.com/profile/14920586/Tommy-Kinsler</a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="128041" first="Payton" last="Kirkland"], OT, 6-7, 315, Orlando Dr. Phillips. </strong>Having the opportunity to watch this quality talent in his last game as a sophomore, there is little doubt that this is going to be one of the premier “big men” for a long time. Great feet, plenty of athletic ability and the passion and love for the game and the position to get as much out of it as possible. An outstanding prospect, who continues to get plenty of offers and looks from all over the nation. From the first day he arrived on campus, the coaching staff raved about his future. <strong>TAPE:</strong> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12989088/Payton-Kirkland">https://www.hudl.com/profile/12989088/Payton-Kirkland</a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="128059" first="Clay" last="Wedin"], OT, 6-6, 295, Tampa Carrollwood Day. </strong>In the age of athletic and versatile “big men”, here is another quality football talent who continues to watch his stock rise. Watch him play and you can see so much you like – especially because of his size and passion for the game. Another top-flight player who will continue to get better in the spring and into the summer – at practices and camps. Definitely someone who deserves the spotlight. <strong>TAPE</strong><strong>: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11412312/Clay-Wedin">https://www.hudl.com/profile/11412312/Clay-Wedin</a> To check out all 563 Class of 2023 prospects, just check out the complete list: <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2021/04/updated-2023-florida-rankings/">https://prepredzone.com/2021/04/updated-2023-florida-rankings/</a> <strong><em>You Can Contact [player_tooltip player_id="111610" first="Larry" last="Blustein"] with prospect or team information at: Floridakids1@aol.com.
