This was the fourth camp we've had in Oklahoma and they continue to get bigger and better. Prep Redzone Oklahoma will have articles and breakdowns throughout the next several day putting a spotlight on some of the best performers and prospects that we got a chance to see throughout the afternoon. Keep it locked in to Prep Redzone Oklahoma for more coverage from the Stock Up Showcase camp. In this post, it's all about the offensive linemen in attendance. While Collinsville 2024 lineman [player_tooltip player_id='376564' first='Colten' last='Christian'] walked away with <strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/01/prz-oklahoma-stock-up-gamechangers/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MVP honors</a></strong>, we still had quite a few standouts along the offensive line that need to be discussed and we do that right here!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["350246"],"_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":"The first of two Owasso 2025 prospects on this breakdown is offensive tackle prospect [player_tooltip player_id='350246' first='Blake' last='Cherry']. The Rams got our attention last May when we saw their 2025 duo of Cherry and [player_tooltip player_id='350245' first='Ryker' last='Haff'], who will be discussed later. Cherry was outstanding throughout the event and showed why he's already considered one of the top 2025 prospects overall and just like Haff, he's among the best at his position in the class. Cherry does such a great job of using his hands and getting them in the right spot to completely shut down a defensive lineman. Time after time, Cherry saw a variety of moves during the 1 on 1 session and he was rarely beat during that time period. He was without a doubt one of the top performing prospects at his position and the ceiling is incredibly high for Cherry moving forward.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["154221"],"_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":"Meeker 2024 offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='154221' first='Bobby' last='Brooks'] has been on our radar for a while now and has consistently been one of the top offensive linemen in his class. But this was our first chance to really watch Brooks go to work in person. Everything prior had been based on film and talking with coaches who have watched him. He passed the eye test and then some. Brooks was one of the more physically impressive prospects in attendance on Saturday. He measured in at 6'5 and 278 pounds. Not only did he showcase the power during 1 on 1 sessions, he also showed that he has some quick feet and lateral movement. He was one of the fastest offensive linemen in the shuttle drill during testing. Brooks is definitely a prospect to keep an eye on as he was one of the best small school standouts in attendance, regardless of position.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["289517"],"_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":"Booker T Washington 2024 offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='289517' first='Darian' last='Melendez'] first got on our radar at the last camp we had back in April. He was one of the better offensive linemen in attendance that day and he backed up the work once again on Saturday. Melendez is a strong offensive lineman that knows how to move quick to get into position. Just like with any of these prospects along the offensive line, they are really only able to do pass protection with no pads on. It's always difficult to really judge either side of the line of scrimmage but with some guys you just know. Melendez was one of those guys this weekend. He once again impressed the position coaches and he continues to get better and better every time we see him. He was really good last spring, had a strong junior season and then he had another great showing on Saturday.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["350245"],"_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":"The other part of that Owasso 2025 duo along the offensive line is [player_tooltip player_id='350245' first='Ryker' last='Haff']. The Owasso product was once again one of the best offensive linemen in attendance, which matches his ranking as one of the top guys at the position. And as mentioned earlier, the offensive linemen were only able to work in pass protect and weren't able to use their raw power and strength like you see in run blocking and that's where Haff is an absolute monster. But from what we saw of Haff, there is a whole lot to like. We'll be covering both him and Cherry later this week on another post when we break down the top offensive linemen in the state's 2025 class as those rankings were updated this week. Haff has the chance to continue climbing those rankings and become not only one of the top guys at his position but a top prospect in the overall ranks.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["268331"],"_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 race for MVP along the offensive line came down to two guys at the end of the day and while [player_tooltip player_id='376564' first='Colten' last='Christian'] walked away with the recognition, McAlester 2024 offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='268331' first='Zac' last='Rogers'] was right there and you can make the argument for him. It was so close between the two 2024 prospects. Rogers attended both of our camps last year but this time around, he emerged as one of the absolute best guys at the position. Every time I personally watched the offensive line group, Rogers was routinely lining up at one of the interior spots along the offensive line and he was routinely doing a fantastic job working against some of the bigger defensive linemen and it fits his game. Rogers wasn't as big as the other offensive linemen prospects on this breakdown but he's perfect along the interior as a center or a guard.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63c5898860264"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
