Below, we will dive into some of the top interior offensive lineman across the state. </strong></em> <hr /> &nbsp; <em><strong>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="87358" first="Kone" last="Aumua"] Uiagalelei, Auburn Riverside HS</strong></em> [caption id="attachment_178212" align="alignleft" width="265"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-178212" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/07/Screen-Shot-2021-07-31-at-5.42.57-PM-265x300.png" alt="" width="265" height="300" /> Photo: [player_tooltip player_id="87358" first="Kone" last="Aumua"] Uiagalelei Twitter[/caption]Playing both tackle and guard for his high school team, the 2022 prospect projects as an interior OL at the next level due to frame and overall size. A physical kid with a nice punch, he is more of a downhill blocker that will thrive at the next level in a physical run-heavy system. He bends well for his size and shows his raw strength when finishing blocks and down-blocking in the box. He plays well with his hands and uses them to body defenders while showing good pad level and relying on leg drive and upper body strength to win at the point of contact. Currently holding an offer from College of Idaho, he should see other NAIA, D-III and D-II interest come his way, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <em><strong>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="151861" first="Reuben" last="Leiataua"], West Seattle HS</strong></em> [caption id="attachment_178214" align="alignright" width="300"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-178214" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/07/Screen-Shot-2021-07-31-at-5.46.40-PM-300x267.png" alt="" width="300" height="267" /> Photo: Reuben II Leiataua Twitter[/caption] One of the most explosive and talented athletes across the region, he will most likely find himself playing on the defensive side of the ball in college, but is a devastating blocker on offense as well. A very good athlete with light and quick feet and fluidity in the open field, the 2022 prospect plays with a  relentless motor and constantly makes blocks downfield while able to pull without false steps and displaying a heavy initial punch at the POA. He shows good hip and ankle flexibility in his stance and stays low throughout his blocks and while in pass protection. On defense, he has a quick use of hands and a variety of speed and power pass rush moves at his disposal while showing he is a natural bender off the edge or from the inside. Very tough and physical player that is one of the best two-way players in the state. &nbsp; &nbsp; <em><strong>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="87359" first="Nate" last="Elwood"], Marysville Pilchuck HS</strong></em> [caption id="attachment_178215" align="alignleft" width="300"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-178215" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/07/Screen-Shot-2021-07-31-at-5.48.08-PM-300x277.png" alt="" width="300" height="277" /> Photo: [player_tooltip player_id="87359" first="Nate" last="Elwood"] Twitter[/caption]A throwback old school player, Elwood plays very physical and has yet to reach his full potential as he is still developing. He shows a quick first step out of his stance and puts his hands on interior DL quickly while driving through his target and using his hands to control the chest of his target. Still developing consistent pad level, he makes up for it with his high motor and toughness upon contact. Also playing on the defensive side of the ball, he is a very versatile player that college coaches will take notice on sooner rather than later.
