Prep Redzone PA StockUp Showcase: DL/OL Top Performers
In this article:
A deeper dive into each DL & OL “Top Performer” from late January’s StockUp Showcase.
OL Top Performers
Soren Stoltzfus Soren Stoltzfus 6'2" | 285 lbs | OL Conestoga Valley | 2024 State PA | 6’1, 280 | Conestoga Valley | 2024
Standout Trait at Camp: Functional Strength, Explosion
Standout Trait on Film: Steer Ability, Position Versatility
Standout Testing Number: none
Fun film to break down. As a sophomore, Stoltzfus provided quality reps at pretty much every position along the offensive line, as well as some defensive tackle reps. His overall strength and feet quickness will always allow him to produce in some way in the trenches. A valuable asset to have. I can see a future as a Pass-Protecting left tackle. His balance and body control project that he can be a formidable anchor. He’s relentless and instinctive when placed at G or OC. Potential breakout player in PA.
Justin Kutcher Justin Kutcher 6'1" | 265 lbs | OL Danville | 2024 State PA | 6’1, 265 | Danville | 2024
Standout Trait at Camp: Flexibility
Standout Trait on Film: Tenacity, Movement off the Ball
Standout Testing Number: (5.50 40)
Kutcher is the total package, as complete as a sophomore interior lineman can be in my opinion. There’s tenacity in his game and purpose in each punch. You can see the technical side of his game improve as the season progressed as well as at the camp. His initial quickness out of his stance is a plus, that was on full display at the event. He’s got serious power underneath his feet. Love some of the in-line blocking reps he’s shown on film. So much to like out of this young man. Not to mention he had the 3rd fastest 40-time amongst OL. Sky is the limit.
Jason Baldwin Jr. | 5’11, 225 | Archbishop Wood | 2025
Standout Trait at Camp: Base, Competitiveness
Standout Trait on Film: Second-Level Blocking
Standout Testing Number: none
Baldwin Jr’s size may be average for an interior lineman, his competitiveness and motor certainly isn’t average. Extensive tape that displays everything you need to know about the kid. Throughout the 11-minute tape, I had to keep reminding myself that he’s a freshman. Awesome drive in his legs, shows he can handle and control 3 Techs that match up in front of him. Excels in space and at the second level where he can easily block and steer linebackers. Good hat placement.
Lukas Donahue Lukas Donahue 6'3" | 300 lbs | OL La Salle College | 2024 State PA | 6’3, 275 | La Salle College | 2024
Standout Trait at Camp: Initial Punch, Frame
Standout Trait on Film: Poise in Pass Pro,
Standout Testing Number: (5.53 Shuttle)
Donahue looked bigger in person which means something considering the standout LaSalle sophomore came in at 6’3, 270 pounds. Everything that I saw on the field this past Fall translated to the camp. A+ punch, A+ grip, A+ bend. Donahue was often the extra man strong-side for the Explorers, showing the coaching staff was more than comfortable having Donahue play in space. He can locate his assignment on the go. He isn’t often deterred by athleticism. We are expecting big things from this kid moving forward.
Declan Aikens Declan Aikens 6'2" | 250 lbs | OL Danville | 2023 State PA | 6’1, 245 | Danville | 2023
Standout Trait at Camp: Body Control
Standout Trait on Film: Attitude/Toughness, Poise in Pass Pro
Standout Testing Number: (7’8 BJ)
There’s a sense of calmness and poise when Aikens works. The junior out of Danville hardly panics or reaches when in pass-pro sets. His foot quickness and lateral balance make sliding and staying frontal of pass-rushers that much easier. Aikens’ game is stout, one that makes having the correct base and leverages a priority. Outstanding power to counter bull-rush moves with ease. There’s a reason for the kid’s high ranking. Also had the best Broad Jump of any OL.
DL Top Performers
Brett Kwoka Brett Kwoka 6'1" | 240 lbs | DL Neumann-Goretti | 2022 State PA | 6’2, 240 | DL/OL | Neumann-Goretti | 2022
Standout Trait at Camp: Hand/Leverage Usage
Standout Trait on Film: Position Versatility (OL/DL/LB)
Standout Testing Number: none
A senior who showed all of the younger talents how things worked. Nothing new to the Neumann-Goretti standout. There is so much to love about Kwoka’s game that doesn’t necessarily stick out at camps. The leadership qualities, the ability to provide quality reps at numerous positions and alignments. His coaching staff and teammates think the world of him, which goes a long way when considering him to be part of your program at the next level. His hand usage and understanding of leverage are far-along. A crafty player with a running motor.
Daniel Adefolarin Daniel Adefolarin 6'3" | 230 lbs | DL Neumann-Goretti | 2025 State PA | 6’3, 210 | Cardinal O’Hara | 2025
Standout Trait at Camp: Physical Tools
Standout Trait on Film: Raw Size/Speed Combo
Standout Testing Number: (8’4 1/2 BJ)
As raw as a prospect as they can come. New to football. Freshman film was a tad limited but can see the obvious allure of his size and strength combination. His physical tools are to die for and we hope Cardinal O’Hara continues to lead Adefolarin in the right direction. Once he gets a feel for rushing the passer against some of the best OL in the PCL, I think then and only then will we see true development out of the freshman.
Angelo McCullom | 6’2, 258 | Olentangy | 2024
Standout Trait at Camp: Initial Power, Hand-Fighting Tech
Standout Trait on Film: Pursuit, Get-off
Standout Testing Number: (4.84 40 @ 240)
His entire pass-rush/shedding repertoire is advanced for his age and experience. Has the ability to win early with his initial power or explosive get-off. He can finish reps with either or as well. All of these traits would be without mention if not for his impressive effort and pursuit of the football. I think very highly of this young man.
Nick Slogik Nick Slogik 6'5" | 230 lbs | DL Bishop McDevitt | 2024 State PA | 6’5, 240 | Warwick | 2024
Standout Trait at Camp: Feet/Balance,
Standout Trait on Film: Heavy Hands, Mean Streak
Standout Testing Number: (5.06 Pro-Shuttle)
One of the more physically dominant and imposing 2024 prospects you will find in Pennsylvania. His film shows how easily he can shed with power thanks to his heavy hands. Tone-setter along the Warwick defensive line. I got to see how nimble and smooth his feet were at the camp. If he can couple these two games together, you’ve got a coveted next-level talent.
Jaceb Dickerson Jaceb Dickerson 6'2" | 255 lbs | DL Gettysburg Area | 2024 State PA | 6’2, 225 | Gettysburg | 2024
Standout Trait at Camp: Twitchiness, Limb Length
Standout Trait on Film: Range & Motor
Standout Testing Number: (4.83 40)
Edge and Interior defensive line capabilities. Stated before, I think his future position lies in how his body develops. Either way, Dickerson shows excellent range and pursuit when crashing down the line or chasing QBs in the backfield. No matter where he plays, he’s going to succeed with a motor revving like his.
