OBSERVATIONS
It should be no surprise that most of these offers to ninth graders involve offensive linemen. Big ones at that. There are a few things that you can’t teach and size is one of them. Power 5 schools are looking for offensive tackles in the 6-foot-6, 6-foot-7 range and guards in the 6-foot-6, 6-foot-5, and 6-foot-4 range. The offensive linemen that have received these offers go to schools that are known to produce multiple Power 5 prospects year-in and year-out.
It’s no surprise that Maryland, Boston College, Penn State, and even Pitt have already offered some of these prospects. Boston College and Penn State seem to have put out the most offers to players in this list. St. Frances has the most players on this list and that’s to no one’s suprise either.
