6’4 320 Mason Merriweather Mason Merriweather 6'4" | 320 lbs | OL Culver City | 2023 State CA , Culver City HS
Mason is a true road grader in the run game and extremely physical at the point of attack. Able to block both first and second level defenders while athletic enough to pull without waisted movement, he is a powerful interior player with a strong lower body and finishes blocks downfield consistently. Keeping a strong wide base and solid leg drive in the run game, he is also impressive in pass protection and moves well laterally while able to protect against both bull and speed rushers. A two-way player, he is a college caliber prospect that will only continue to improve through his career.
6’3 300 Luke Bledsoe Luke Bledsoe 6'3" | 300 lbs | OL Inglewood | 2023 State CA , Inglewood HS
Bledsoe has a massive frame and nice length for the guard position and will find his home on the interior offensive line in college. More of a short area blocker, he shows he can sustain blocks and plays with a physical edge whistle to whistle. Quick on his feet for someone his size, he excels in pass protection with violent hands and well timed punches while smart enough to pick up pressures and washes defenders inside when needed. As he moves through college, he will only continue to develop and improve upon bend and pad level.
6’2 280 Sean Haney Sean Haney 6'3" | 285 lbs | OL St. John Bosco | 2023 State CA , St. John Bosco HS
Haney is a very well built and athletic prospect with no bad weight and impressive overall strength at the guard position. Out of his stance, he is very explosive with his first step and strikes with heavy hands and maximum body contact while keeping his legs driving through blocks and finishing defenders consistently. Also a very impressive puller, he is light and quick on his feet when skip pulling and moves well in space/takes good angles to linebackers while packing a punch through the hole and playing with extreme physicality. Haney is a very technically sound player in the run and pass game and has the abilities to play at the FBS level where he offers a high floor.
