Logan Getejanc | OL | 6’1″ 265 lbs | Shadow Ridge
Logan Getejanc has great size and can move very well off the ball. He gets to the second level very well on running plays which opens up big holes for his running backs behind him. He blocks with his head and eyes up which is rarer to see than you think, which allows him to see blitzing backers in pass protection and easy second level transitions. He gets into his pass protection quickly and loves to finish blocks with a pancake. Would love to see Logan used more in pulling schemes on running plays to allow his off-ball speed to shine. Logan finished first team 6A all district and watch for him to repeat that this season.
Great pass-pro session!!! @CoachPerrone @_Todd_Olson @RonTBAOL @cuff_lee @SRHSFootball1 @JRoq74 pic.twitter.com/Tl3Rb8Nw90

Griffin Schureman Griffin Schureman 6'3" | 235 lbs | OL Queen Creek | 2023 State AZ | OL | 6’3″ 250 lbs | Queen Creek
Griffin is a three-sport athlete with a 3.40 GPA. Griffin has great size and has shown the ability to play multiple positions if needed on the O-line. With Queen Creek running a lot of zone and wide receiver screens, Griffin’s ability to block in space really shined. He got out in space and finished blocks on backers and defensive backs that tried to use speed to get around him but did not work. In addition to his out in space blocking, he shows great strength in his down blocking, and his foot work and head position are tremendous in the trenches. Would like to see more traditional drop back blocking but cannot fault him for that. If Schureman continues to show his speed and ability to block down field, he will be seeing his name on first team All-Region for the second straight year.
Had a GREAT time playing with my teammates. Grateful to be named first team All-Region OL. Here is my Season Highlights at LT/RG.https://t.co/9NvE5mhWdM @KyleMorgan_XOS @CodyTCameron @JReyes_NP @JUSTCHILLY @QC_football @TSchureman @QCFBRecruiting @QCFBStrength

Aidan Buggs | OL | 6’3″ 275 lbs | Casteel
Aidan showed great pass blocking technique the second you turn on his film. He blocks very well with his hands and does not allow defenders into his body which is great to see. He fights off hand games defenders try to use against him and locks them up. He has great speed for his size and shows the ability to pull off the line as well. Aidan also shows great motor by blocking on the weak side of the play down the field. It is hard to find a lineman that wants to go down the field and block a safety or corner on the opposite side of the field where the ball is going. Aidan does it and does it very well. Would love to see Aidan continue to work on his first step off the ball, which is something every lineman works on and continues to improve. Aidan and his team will be competing for a state title this season, so keep his name in your mind when watching Casteel High School play.
I appreciate the offer to perform at the Hawaii Tiki Bowl.@GametimeRC @CoachBabcock_ @gridironarizona @CasteelFootball @casteeltdclub @CasteelAthletic pic.twitter.com/aynUlgg1GV

Even though the offensive linemen don’t get the credit they deserve, the game is won or lost in the trenches. Your offense goes as far as they take you, and with these three studs, their teams might go all the way. These guys will be difference makers this season and should start getting recognized by colleges because of it.
