He does a great job helping out his fellow offensive linemen when uncovered, and unsuspecting defensive linemen need to be on high alert, or they could end up on the ground.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='406985' first='Corbin' last='Workman'] || OL || 6'9 || 330 || Pine View High School || 2024 </strong><br>Workman is one of the state's most intimidating presences on the offensive line.
