Continue ReadingThe Class of 2025 is heading into their pivotal Junior Season, and with that usually comes breakout stars. The 2025 OL group is real interesting, as we don’t have a ton of D1 locks, yet we have a lot of D2 / D1 potential. The following five linemen vary in experience and skill, but they all have one thing in common; the chance to show vast improvement from Sophomore to Junior year.
Camden Pawlick Camden Pawlick 6'3" | 240 lbs | OL Saline | 2025 State MI | Saline | Hudl
Camden is a kid who I’ve known for quite a while at this point, and seeing his improvement since his move to Michigan has been impressive. When I first met Camden, he was a bit undersized and had a lot to improve when it came to technique. Since then, he’s gained a significant amount of muscle, vastly improved his technique, and has competed very well this offseason. Over the past few months, Camden has been named a top performer at countless showcases. I’m very excited to see what he does this coming season, and I currently see Camden as a DII scholarship prospect.
N-Kye Wynn N-Kye Wynn 6'5" | 245 lbs | OL Muskegon | 2025 State MI | Muskegon | Hudl
I really like N-Kye’s overall potential, and I can easily see him taking a major leap this next season. His sophomore season had a lot of highs and lows and overall showcased a raw prospect with D1 potential. First off, N-Kye is tall and lengthy and has the great measurements often needed to play at the next level. His technique is OK on film, and can surely improve with his footwork, balance, athleticism, and holding blocks. There were times last year when N-Kye would get consistently beat by great DE talent, but then again, there isn’t a player on this list that faces anywhere near the talent Muskegon faces. With a commitment to the game and an extreme will to improve, N-Kye has all tools and opportunities to become a D1 prospect.
Cooper Pyle Cooper Pyle 6'3" | 300 lbs | OL Hartland | 2025 State MI | Hartland | Hudl
I honestly haven’t dove deep into Pyle’s film in a while, and I’ve got to say his sophomore highlights are impressive. Standing at 6’3 295, Cooper is projected more as an interior O-Lineman for the college game, but he’s a great High School tackle as it is. For a man as big as him, he moves extremely well, and the dude is a straight-up mauler. He plays through the whistle, and always seems to go at full speed. If I could nitpick something, it would be balance. There are a lot of blocks where he really leans into it, and usually, this delivers a huge hit, but I could see a skilled lineman countering what is at times, over-aggressiveness leading to poor balance. Still, I think Cooper could be MAC prospect pretty soon.
Nick Schrader Nick Schrader 6'3" | 260 lbs | OL Port Huron Northern | 2025 MI | PH Northern | Hudl
Nick is an interesting prospect. He has good size for an interior offensive lineman, has moments where he flashes good power, but can still improve in many areas. I think that with a lot of work on overall technique, conditioning, and athleticism, Nick could break out and become a really good offensive lineman in this class.
Adam Travers Adam Travers 6'2" | 230 lbs | OL Northville | 2025 State MI | Northville | Hudl
Adam is a player with real good potential playing in the always competitive KLAA. His sophomore highlights show a 2-way player capable of being a good role player, but he’s projected to be much more than that. I like his overall effort and aggressiveness and think his game could be night and day if he puts in the necessary work this off-season. If he just focused on getting bit bigger and more technically sound, then look out!
