The Prep Redzone Next Northeast showcase popped off this past weekend, with athletes from 10 different states taking part. Athletes from as far away as Texas traveled to compete with, and against, many of the top 2026-2028 prospects in the region. Here’s a look at the Offensive Linemen who were named to the All-Showcase Team. <img class="alignleft wp-image-341346 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/05/Caden-Sternlieb-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Caden Sternlieb | 2026 | New Jersey At 6-foot and 285 pounds, Sternlieb was one of the shorter Offensive Linemen at the showcase--but he used that to his advantage. He was impressive, using leverage to his advantage and staying low in his stance. Looked very natural in his stance and used an exceptionally strong base to not got off base. Also showed a high football IQ by reacting to what the Defensive Line through at him instead of being overly aggressive. He won a lot of reps by simply playing smarter. <img class="alignleft wp-image-341342 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/05/RhettMorrisPRZNext-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />[player_tooltip player_id="212399" first="Rhett" last="Morris"] | 2026 | New Jersey Morris will be headed to Don Bosco Prep in the fall, but tied a bow on a terrific youth career at the showcase. Morris measured in at 6-foot-2 and 291 pounds, though he looked taller than that. He has a good build on him and he’s already benching 275 pounds. At the showcase he confirmed what I already thought, that he’ll be a solid interior OL for the Ironmen for the next four years. <img class="alignleft wp-image-341343 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/05/Jake-NamnunPRZNext-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />[player_tooltip player_id="205506" first="Jake" last="Namnun"] | 2026 | New Jersey In my opinion, Namnun had the best day of all the Offensive Linemen in attendance at the showcase. The 6-foot-2, 271-pounder was dominant lining up as a Center during the 1-on-1 session. He was strong in his base and was repeatedly able to drive guys backwards. Displayed near flawless footwork and credited it to a lot of work with six-time NFL All-Pro Jahri Evans. In addition to his impressive foot work, he also wow’d with a seven-foot broad jump, which was tops amongst the OL group. <img class="alignleft wp-image-341344 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/05/Nick-FiumaraPRZNext-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Nick Fiumara | 2026 | Massachusetts While Namnun may have the best day out of the group, the prospect with the biggest upside is unquestionably Fiumara. He is going to be a P5 Offensive Tackle--no doubt about it. Stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 243 pounds. Ran the best 40-yard dash time out of all the Offensive Lineman with a 5.19. Will be at Belmont Hill next year and should make an impact immediately. He’s a must-offer early type of prospect. <img class="alignleft wp-image-341341 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/05/JoeRussoPRZNext-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Joe Russo | 2026 | New York Rounding out the All-Showcase team is future St. Joseph Regional Green Knight, Joe Russo. Russo came into the showcase with increasing hype around his 6-foot-3 and 280-pound frame. He had a pretty good day overall. Obviously some foot work things to improve on, and after watching him play, I think he’s going to be a better Guard than he would be at Tackle. He is strong at the point of engagement which is a great thing. If he can get his mitts on guys he has the ability to win every rep. Just needs to get more consistent with foot work. He will be a very good one for the next four years.
