Continue ReadingThe Allegiance Athletics lineman camp had an event last Saturday at Edison High and it featured plenty of quality offensive and defensive linemen.
Some top prospects with multiple offers were at the event and some unknowns were also in attendance.
Here are the defensive linemen that stood out to me during the 1on1 pass blocking portion of the day.
MVP
Tyler Parker Tyler Parker 6'0" | 295 lbs | DL Crean Lutheran | 2025 State CA , Santa Margarita, 2025
Parker was the best defensive lineman I saw and a renowned offensive line coach I was talking to agreed. When referring to Parker, the coach said, “that guy is going to be a nightmare to block for years.” What makes Parker special is that he has a big arsenal of pass rushing moves to beat you with. He has power moves and on one play beat the offensive lineman off the ball, got his hand up near his throat and drove him back five yards into the quarterback. If you lean, he will swim you. He is great and hand fighting and I did not see him lose a single rep. Parker is just 14 years old and Arizona has already offered him.
Class of 2025 DL Tyler Parker from Santa Margarita is my defensive line MVP so far of the Allegiance lineman event. Crazy strong, can beat you with various pass rush moves. Only 14 years old! @PrepRedzoneCA @AllegianceOL @iam_tylerparker @SMCHS_Football @GregBiggins pic.twitter.com/RMo1wj0xim

OTHER TOP PLAYERS
La’Mario Claiborne La’Mario Claiborne 6'2" | 240 lbs | DL Oak Hills | 2025 State CA , Damien, 2025
Claiborne has been active this offseason competing at Giant Skillz, Under Armour, Prep Redzone and Allegiance camps. He is fast around the edge and attacks the outside shoulder well. He does a good job getting his hands on the offensive lineman and forcing him to have to hand fight for positioning. He is quick enough to change directions on a dime and catch the offensive lineman leaning to the outside before clubbing inside. Arkansas State has offered him early.

TJ Ford, Chaminade, 2024
Ford is one of the few guys that looks bigger than the height and weight in which he is listed. He is 6-foot-2, 310 pounds but plays like someone much heavier. He has great power moves and caught a lot of the offensive linemen on skates. He got good hand position often and you can tell he has played a lot of football. He drives his feet through contact and you can tell he gets a lot of sled work in. He has drawn some college looks but has no offers yet.
Finally had the opportunity to post some highlights from last weekend's @AllegianceOL camp. I won't settle for average. The marathon continues. #fordtough @latsondheimer @Tarek_Fattal @coachchucs @GregBiggins @rickyhunley @TrenchElite pic.twitter.com/XBvI2CQQXX

Derrick Ford, El Toro, 2023
Ford was one of the guys at the camp I had never seen before and he was very impressive. He was one of the stronger linemen at the event and he drives his hips through contact and gets underneath the offensive lineman. He’s an excellent power rusher and has some quickness in him. Ford has no offers yet but got some looks from the scouts in attendance. He should dominate most of the Sea View League linemen next season.
