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.
Rhino Tapaatoutai | 6’5″ 280 | OT | Bishop Alemany (CA)
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 & 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.
Issac Perkins | 6’4″ 305 | OL | Gahanna Lincoln
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 .
Marqvince Kelemete-Malauulu | 6’3″ 310 | DT | Bishop Alemany (CA)
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.

Angelo McCullom Angelo McCullom 6'2" | 260 lbs | DL Olentangy | 2024 State OH | 6’3″ 260 | DT |Olentangy
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 & DT so the versatility is there and you can see his ability to just dominant defenders, and makes a ton of effort plays.
Jake Grimm | 6’4″ 280 | OL | Gahanna Lincoln
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.
Jordan Hall | 6’8″ 320 | OL | Kipp Columbus
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.
