He can play either left or right tackle with ease and possesses the proper kick slide-to-punch technique from both angles. Anderson is a savvy blocker who knows how to naturally redirect and reposition his body. He stands strong when engaged and holds his ground well due to being a knee bender instead of a waist bender.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/04/image-36.png" alt="" class="wp-image-768011"/></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='627141' first='Blake' last='Ivy']   OFFENSIVE TACKLE •6'4" | 270 LBS I CLASS OF 2024 @ CLEAR SPRINGS | LEAGUE CITY, TX   [player_tooltip player_id='627141' first='Blake' last='Ivy'] is a nasty offensive lineman that competes with a defensive tackle mentality. Once he gets hands on its pretty much a foregone conclusion that he'll stay engaged. He looks to finish every play with a pancake and has surprisingly nimble feet for a young man his size. After hitting the weights this Spring, look for Ivy to play a dominant role in pass pro next season and be a candidate for the early signing period.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/04/image-37.png" alt="" class="wp-image-768013"/></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='427170' first='Terry' last='Bussey']   ATHLETE •5'11" | 190 LBS I CLASS OF 2024 @ TIMPSON SCHOOL | TIMPSON, TX   [player_tooltip player_id='427170' first='Terry' last='Bussey'] is a one-man highlight. From play number one all you'll see on film is touchdowns from the slot and safety positions. He even includes a 100-yard interception return for a touchdown in his arsenal for good measure. Bussey runs with power due to his 190-plus pound frame and is simply a true football player in every sense of the phrase. The question is which side of the ball will he be most effective on? Only time will tell.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/04/image-38.png" alt="" class="wp-image-768014"/></figure>   KEONDE HENRY   WIDE RECEIVER •6'3" | 185 LBS I CLASS OF 2024 @ LAKE DALLAS | CORINTH, TX   Keonde Henry checks all of the boxes. He has the size at a verified 6'3, speed, and hands to go up and snatch the ball out of the air. Henry is not a body catcher of the ball. He tracks the ball and completes the catch with his eyes making even the bobbled balls catchable. Henry is also a YAK artist possessing the skills to break initial tackles and extend plays. Ultimately, a receiver like Henry is a quarterback's best friend because he embodies what the position requires in size, skillset, and effort.
