Sevy protected the blind side of one of the state’s top quarterbacks and offenses. He’s an exceptional athlete with outstanding technique and footwork. During the 2022 season, he faced off against some of the state’s top pass rushers and never backed down. Sevy loves to get out in space and punish defensive backs in the screen game, and he does an outstanding job selling his pass set before he clubs pass rushers. As a run blocker, Sevy fires off the snap, ready to punish defensive linemen, and he loves to finish through the whistle by putting whoever he’s engaged with on their behind.

Arveseth is a brute in the run game. He does a great job gaining leverage against whoever lines up across from him, and his powerful frame takes it from there. Arveseth works well with his teammates up to the second level and moves his feet quickly to cut off linebackers. He never gives up on a play and enjoys serving up pancakes to all who have the misfortune of crossing his path. Arveseth has no problem moving defenders from point A to point B. In addition, he plays with a good base in pass protection. The Phoenix lineman makes his teammates look good every time he takes the field.

Griffiths led the Cavemen to a strong 2022 season. He fires off the snap and hits defensive lineman like a truck. The Caveman’s center has a strong initial punch but doesn’t stop his feet on contact. Instead, he plays through the whistle, much to the dismay of the defensive lineman he buries into the turf. Griffiths is a special puller who always locates and takes his man out of the play. He uses his hands well in pass protection and is confident in his pass sets. In addition, Griffiths is a tenacious blocker who relishes in the physicality of the position.

Tolbert strength is outstanding. Tolbert levels numerous defenders each game, whether it’s his initial punch or leg drive. The 6’3 offensive linemen does a good job getting up to the second level or reach blocking on outside runs. When he gets his hands on defensive linemen, they have a hard time breaking out of his grasp. Tolbert plays with a good anchor and does a good job picking up blitzes. He loves to hit and dishes out pancakes on almost every drive. In short-yardage situations, he does a great job firing off low and getting the movement needed to get his team a first down or touchdown.
