<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='269193' first='Carson' last='Hall'] - OL - 2026 - Ware County HS</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hall fires off the snap quickly, and he shows the flexibility to get out and seal on reach blocks during drills. He's at his best, however, in the phone booth. Attacks his man, playing with a wide base and the lateral agility to mirror, sustain and shuffle to help inside. Has the size, strength and quick feet to be effective as a position run-blocker.</p>

<p><strong><em>Austin Hoane - OL - 2026 - Lakeside-Evans HS</em></strong> <strong><em>/ @austin_hoane22</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hoane is an exceptionally good mover for someone his size. Hoane has a massive frame, broad enough to carry his weight with relative ease. He has agile feet and moves well when moving backward in pass-protection sets. Plays with natural leverage and has the strength to anchor against the bull rush. Hoane also packs a violent initial punch that can stand up pass rushers.</p>

<p><strong><em>Judd Hyde - OL - 2025 - Cass HS</em></strong> <strong><em>/ @juddhyde12</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hyde has a naturally wide base, thickly build and good length. Long legs to cover a lot of ground with his initial kick slide. Has the quickness to set up quickly with enough lateral shuffle to mirror. Has good footwork and technique. Balanced and agile pass protection set with excellent hand placement.</p>

<p><strong><em>Cameron Lavette - OL - 2024 - Woodstock HS</em></strong> <strong><em>/ @CamLavette56</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lavette is a smooth athlete with terrific mobility and footwork, staying light on his feet. Has the lateral range, natural shuffle movements, and lower body quickness to mirror speed rushers. He's at his best mauling in 1v1's, playing with a nasty demeanor and consistently keeping it going through the whistle.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='602946' first='Kyler' last='Matthews'] - OL - 2026 - Ware County HS / @KMatthews2026</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Matthews has violent hands and, when his placement is right, can control pass rushers. He's very aggressive, with a good initial burst off the line of scrimmage and a mean streak and willingness to play through the whistle. Strong upper body, arms and hands wit coordinated feet with the flexibility. Hard worker.</p>
