Giant Skillz Athletics Midwest Showcase Standouts

Athletes from Central Ohio and California traveled to Columbus Ohio to participate in the 2nd annual Giant Skills Athletics Midwest showcase. This event was high intensity and focused on interior play and giving linemen the chance to compete in one vs one, and five vs five challenges with all eyes on them. Below are some of the top kids from this event. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-333250" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/05/IMG_0222-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /> <strong>Rhino Tapaatoutai | 6’5″ 280 | OT | <a href="https://www.maxpreps.com/high-schools/alemany-warriors-(mission-hills,ca)/home.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bishop Alemany</a> (CA) </strong> Rhino is a well-put-together athletic lineman who utilizes his hands well and has good feet. At the showcase, he was just dominant using his length to his advantage and locking defenders out &amp; finishing blocks. His highlight shows a player that has a high motor that can run, make all the blocks, and play with a good punch. Rhino is in the class of 2023 and is currently committed to Arizona. <strong><a href="https://twitter.com/rhin0_an0malyyy?[player_tooltip player_id=">Twitter</a>/ <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13087384/rhino-tapaatoutai">Hudl</a></strong> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-333252" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/05/IMG_0227-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /> <strong>Issac Perkins | 6’4″ 305 | OL | Gahanna Lincoln  </strong> Issac is a strong kid with a powerful punch that can just stalemate you at the line of scrimmage. On Sunday i didn’t see him lose any reps, and he was really confident in his ability to move his feet. He has a really good upside, Issac needs to work on finishing block on his summer camp circuit and during his senior season this will help with his recruitment . <strong><a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/isaacp2023">Twitter</a>/<a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12069173/Isaac-Perkins">Hudl</a></strong> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-333260" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/05/0-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /> <strong>Marqvince Kelemete-Malauulu | 6’3″ 310 | DT | <a href="https://www.maxpreps.com/high-schools/alemany-warriors-(mission-hills,ca)/home.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bishop Alemany</a> (CA)</strong> Marqvince is in the class of 2024 he is a physical defensive of tackle who has the size and skills to be dominate players at the next level. He was impressive because he showed he can beat you with different moves, turning speed into power, and just being a straight bully and pushing the linemen into the QB lap. I expect this kids to make some noise this season with his size and tool kit. <strong>Twitter/ <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15807441/Marqvince-KelemeteMalauulu">Hudl</a></strong> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-333262" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/05/IMG_0219-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="284549" first="Angelo" last="McCullom"] | 6’3″ 260 | DT |Olentangy </strong> Angelo is dominant defender that plays with a high motor. I have watched him at multiple camps and he continues to separate himself from the bunch. His quick first step and power is a major problem for lineman as he showed on Sunday. What really separate him is his sneaky shiftiness, bend, ability to play with his hands, and high motor.  His highlight tape shows him playing the DE &amp; DT so the versatility is there and you can see his ability to just dominant defenders, and makes a ton of effort plays. <strong><a href="https://twitter.com/AngeloMcCullom?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">Twitter</a>/ <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14833371/Angelo-McCullom/highlights">Hudl</a></strong> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-333263" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/05/IMG_0220-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /> <strong>Jake Grimm | 6’4″ 280 | OL | Gahanna Lincoln  </strong> Jake is one of the better offensive lineman in the class of 2024 in central Ohio. At the showcase he showed he had a really good punch that would shock defenders and stand them up on contact. He plays with a physical edge, good pad level, and can move his feet and stay in front of defenders. Jake has solid sophomore film showing that he can finish blocks, but watching him Sunday you can tell he has really worked on his athleticism and craft this off season. <strong><a href="https://twitter.com/jakegrimm13?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">Twitter</a>/ <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16386116/jake-grimm">Hudl</a></strong> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-333266" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/05/IMG_0202-2-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /> <strong>Jordan Hall  | 6’8″ 320 | OL | Kipp Columbus </strong> Jordan is a massive individual that is athletic and light on his feet. He has good patience, and the ability to quickly change direction and stay in front of defenders which is really impressive for his size. He needs to work on using his length to his advantage and being more physical. He has all the tools and measurable to be successful just needs to be developed. <strong><a href="https://twitter.com/JordanHall614?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">Twitter</a>/ <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13285755/Jordan-Hall">Hudl</a></strong> &nbsp;
