<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Offensive line play doesn't usually get the respect of the casual fan because they are watching the football/ball carrier. The trenches are where all the magic happens, and I suggest fans watch the OL instead of the football to understand why a play will break down or break out. This week in the film room, I will focus more on linemen with a dash of skill players. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are the players you should watch each week. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":24527,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2020/06/Generic-Featured-Image-2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-24527"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6317727c028b9","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["34499"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Luke is the real deal; it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know. The best way to describe him is relentless. Montgomery is one of the best finishers on the offensive line, and his defensive skill has improved too. Luke's football team has not gotten off to a great start with a 1 &amp; 2 record, but Luke is still playing at a high level this season; we all expected the prep Redzone number one player in Ohio. Luke told me he would drop some mid-season highlights but until then, check out this clip. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/montymont6/status/1565846472192655360?s=20u0026t=g7GNgM0FcXD1zzCEmkP_9w","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/montymont6/status/1565846472192655360?s=20u0026t=g7GNgM0FcXD1zzCEmkP_9w </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6317e129028ba","name":"acf/evaluation-block","align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6317e553028bb","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["284618"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Witten is becoming a household name in Ohio especially now that Ohio State has just sent the offer in to the 2024 prospect. Making big plays comes with ease for Witten as he scores on offense in such fashionable ways. Tight ends aren't always looked at as the nasty player that can block but you better believe that our guy is not lacking there. When you grow up in Ohio, you always want that OSU offer and today has sent Witten's stock all the way up with a lot of season to go.
