He shows awareness in his play, causing fumbles and taking good angles to put him in the best position to catch faster players.

Hess has been showing exactly what we saw at The TCA Gauntlet: Trench Combat Academy Showcase. He bull rushes right through offensive lines and once he gets his hand on the ball carrier they’re going down. His pure strength even shows on the offensive side of the ball where he’s racked up a few pancake blocks through the regular season. Hess is already seen as one of the best linemen prospects in the league and region, but his breakout is yet to come. Keep an eye on his growth over the next few months, he’s already 6’2 290+lbs, a couple of inches and he’ll be a definite D1 prospect, the talent and strength are there. Hess continues to lead Fort Hill down a back-to-back state championship road.

Evaluations are normally subscriber-only but when an athlete subscribes, theirs becomes free for all readers. Subscribing doesn't change who the Scout covers, it changes who gets to see it.

Hide your lineman, quarterback, and ball carriers! There’s a 300lb-Junior-All-Area-All-State-Lineman of The Year-State Champion…with a mean streak on the loose.
