Continue ReadingNearly 200 players from California, Arizona and Nevada gathered at Mission Viejo High School Sunday for the Under Armour Next All-America Camp.
Some of the best players in the area were at the event and it was difficult to get a good look at every player. Here are the offensive linemen who stood out to me.
Paki Finau Paki Finau 6'5" | 265 lbs | OL Oak Hills | 2024 State CA , Oak Hills – Finau has very good footwork in pass protection. He is slated as a tackle on recruiting sites but I thought he performed very well in the one-on-one portion of the event from the guard spot. He manages his weight well, keeps his chest out and has quick feet. Finau has an offer from New Mexico State.
Had a great time at the @UANextFootball camp this Sunday, definitely a great opportunity for me to show my talents out there ‘24🇹🇴@OakHillsFootba1 @coachmetty @NickMonica63 @GregBiggins @BrandonHuffman @247Sports pic.twitter.com/q34cEEyaxO

Siaosi Tapaatoutai Siaosi Tapaatoutai 6'5" | 275 lbs | OL Bishop Alemany | 2023 State CA , Alemany – He had a strong showing at the Giant Skillz National Showcase two weeks ago and looked good again Sunday. He stands out when you look at him next to other linemen and he won nearly all of his one-on-one matchups. He was one of the linemen named MVP of the event and said he may visit Arizona, Colorado and Hawaii soon.
BJ Tolo BJ Tolo 6'1" | 310 lbs | OL Mater Dei | 2023 State CA , Mater Dei – Tolo isn’t as tall as some of the other top lineman prospects but he does just about everything well. He moves well for his size, keeps his hips square in pass protection and replaces his hands quickly. He has plus strength and always stepped up when they needed a center to get extra reps. He was named one of the MVPs of the camp as well.
Misael Sandoval Misael Sandoval 6'6" | 315 lbs | OL St. Augustine | 2023 State CA , St. Augustine – Sandoval is massive and is every bit of 6-foot-6 and 325 pounds. He has one of the strongest initial punches I have seen for a tackle in awhile and has a high motor. He has the quickness to move his feet with speedy edge rushers and ride them outside. Sandoval has offers from Nevada and New Mexico State.
Thank you @UANextFootball for giving me the chance to compete yesterday! I'm always trying to get better!! @TheUCReport @CraigHaubert pic.twitter.com/7ywjmHyeKG

Racin Delgatty, St. Francis – Delgatty is very strong and when guys try to go inside on him in one-on-ones, he drives the inside leg and can bury the lineman into the ground. His footwork is solid and he looked pretty good in the individual drills. He picked up an offer from Nevada last week.
Jason Steele Jason Steele 6'4" | 275 lbs | OL Murrieta Valley | 2023 State CA , Murrieta Valley – Steele was the second best center I saw on the day behind Tolo. He stands his ground against bull rushers but doesn’t lean forward to where he can be vulnerable to a swim move. His hand placement is the key to his success and when defensive linemen manage to swipe his hands away, he replaces them quickly. He told me has visits coming up with Boise State and Utah State.
