As a freshman, Shadid broke into the starting lineup. As a sophomore, Shadid became Community Christian's left tackle and did a really good job on that side of the line of scrimmage. Shadid is a prospect that we like moving forward but we believe he will more than likely be an interior offensive lineman at the next level. Whether at guard or center, that feels like the best fit. But at left tackle, Shadid was outstanding and a few things stood out when watching the film. He's very technically sound with his hands and generally always puts them in the perfect spot. He has quick feet and is just as good in pass protection as he is when he's powering forward in the run game.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["350246"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"The first of two Owasso Rams on this breakdown is left tackle [player_tooltip player_id='350246' first='Blake' last='Cherry']. Like his teammate, the Owasso standout was one of the best offensive linemen in attendance at our camp on Saturday. During the fall, Cherry started for the Rams at left tackle and did a really good job throughout the season. We like the motor that Cherry plays with and as long as the play is alive, Cherry keeps going until the whistle is blown. The Rams are definitely benefitting from having Cherry and teammate [player_tooltip player_id='350245' first='Ryker' last='Haff'] along their offensive line for the next two seasons. Cherry is a prospect to keep an eye on moving forward this spring and into the summer. It seems like a given that Cherry is going to be one of the top guys at the position every time we update the rankings between now and when he graduates.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["211568"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"One of the most experienced offensive linemen in the state's 2025 class is Union offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='211568' first='Jesse' last='Jones']. He started his career starting for Jenks as they captured a state championship in 2021. Around this time last year, Jones moved to Union and started for the Redhawks at offensive tackle. With one of the top 2023 linemen in [player_tooltip player_id='98181' first='Bennett' last='Ringleb'] on one side of the line and Jones at the other, Union had one of the best offensive line units in the state. Jones is holding on to the top spot at offensive line and similar to a few other prospects on this breakdown, we think that he's playing tackle at the high school level but he's more of an interior lineman at the next level. And just like with several of the other prospects, there is so much more room for growth and Jones could very well grow into a tackle prospect.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["353413"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Sulphur offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='353413' first='Justus' last='Gilliam'] is an absolute mauler and the film is very fun to watch. Similar to Shadid at Community Christian, it feels like based on his size, Gilliam is going to be more of an interior lineman along the offensive line. But at left tackle for Sulphur, the film was outstanding. There were quite a few clips where Gilliam started in the picture but after getting a hold of a defender, he pushed them out of the frame because he was 10-15 yards down the field. This doesn't come as a surprise but Gilliam is also a standout on the wrestling mat and is having a very strong season there. We really like Gilliam but want to see him in person at some point before his junior season begins. We also really like Sulphur as a team moving forward in Class 3A because that's a team that is full of young but talented players.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["350245"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"The other Owasso offensive lineman is [player_tooltip player_id='350245' first='Ryker' last='Haff'], who starts for the Rams at right tackle while Cherry is on the left side. We mentioned earlier in the week on our u003cstrongu003eu003ca href=u0022https://prepredzone.com/2023/01/prz-oklahoma-offensive-line-spotlight/u0022 target=u0022_blanku0022 rel=u0022noreferrer noopeneru0022u003eoffensive lineman spotlight from our campu003c/au003eu003c/strongu003e that we were impressed with Haff during the 1 on 1 portion of the camp. And Haff wasn't even able to do what we feel is his best attribute and that's run block. When Haff gets his hands locked on a defender and the Rams are running the ball, more times than not, that defender is ending up on his back. Another thing to like about Haff is the DNA. One brother signed with a D1 program out of high school and another is a 2023 defensive lineman on the rise. And for bragging rights purposes, Ryker might be the best of the bunch. The ceiling is incredibly high here and we're looking forward to seeing him more in person.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63c889dd1a895"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
