Best Available 2023 Prospects: Offensive Line

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>As we approach the second and final NSD, who are some top offensive lineman from across the region that remain available? </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontStyle":"normal","fontWeight":"700"}}} --> <p style="font-style:normal;font-weight:700">[player_tooltip player_id='42945' first='Makua' last='Pule'], Highland HS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Pule has been a four year starter at tackle for Highland and has ideal size and length for the next level and should kick inside in college. At 6'2" and change, he holds little to no bad weight and has active feet in pass protection, moving well laterally and anchoring against bull rushers. Still working on finishing blocks downfield, he excels at first level run blocking and maintains body control and balance at the POA. He is a no brainer FCS kid with plus athleticism and does a nice job at using his hands and punch in pass protection. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontStyle":"normal","fontWeight":"700"}}} --> <p style="font-style:normal;font-weight:700">[player_tooltip player_id='165885' first='Keona' last='Peat'], Corona Del Sol HS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Peat is a violent player that wins with strength, leverage and initial knock-back at the POA. Off the ball, he shows a violent inside punch, stable base and good leg drive when drive blocking vertically and finishes off defenders with aggression. He is athletic enough to combo to the second level and pick up pressure off the edge and is a high IQ kid from his left tackle position. </em>A no brainer FCS+ talent, it wouldn't be surprising if schools came in late on him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontStyle":"normal","fontWeight":"700"}}} --> <p style="font-style:normal;font-weight:700">Mason Williams, Eastmark HS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Williams is a still developing tackle prospect that does offer upside in college due to his natural athleticism, frame and ability to pack on more weight as he progresses through college. At 6'7" he has the ideal length for the tackle position, shows the ability to block in space, pull and takes good angles to linebackers in the open field while finishing blocks downfield. In his stance, he shows natural ankle/hip flexibility and has a quick initial first step off the ball. In pass protection, he uses his length to keep defenders away from his chest and shows he can kick step and punch patiently while washing out speed rushers and anchor against the bull. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontStyle":"normal","fontWeight":"700"}}} --> <p style="font-style:normal;font-weight:700">Cade Alisa, Poston Butte HS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Alisa is a true road grader with a very strong lower body. He excels when blocking in the short area vertically/flashes a quick first step and very strong initial punch with a consistent and wide base through out his progression. He shows nice bend for his size, and at 6'5"+, he moves well and should find his home at guard or tackle in college, depending on the level. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Other Top Unsigned Prospects...</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontStyle":"normal","fontWeight":"700"}}} --> <p style="font-style:normal;font-weight:700"><em>Dylan Post, Basha HS</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontStyle":"normal","fontWeight":"700"}}} --> <p style="font-style:normal;font-weight:700"><em>[player_tooltip player_id='203117' first='Zarius' last='Wells'], Chandler HS</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='358552' first='Eli' last='Barta'], Mountain View HS</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Jacob Tramp, Eastmark HS</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
