Elite Football Combine: Top 2024 OL Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today I continue to take a look at the top performers from the 2023 Elite Football combine. Here are the top 2024 offensive line standouts from the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='126244' first='Bryce' last='Parson'] | CBC |</strong><br><br>This future D1 offensive linemen had a great day at the combine at 6'3" 292lbs Parson was an athletic brick wall in one on ones that won every down against some good competition. He'll be a four year starter for the Cadets and was impressive even as a freshman, but he has elevated himself physically and with his skills. He's quick, has good feet, strength, overall athleticism and is technically very sound. Bryce has good punch and does a good job directing his opponent where he wants them to go. Very good at pass pro and is a tremendous run blocker. He's played left tackle since his freshman season but will move inside on the next level at either guard or center. He has a handful of offers already but I expect that list to grow in the coming months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":801633,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/04/Elite-Football-Combine-2023-03-17-036-1-1.jpg?w=400" alt="" class="wp-image-801633" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='265234' first='Toby' last='Moore'] | McDonald County |</strong><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":801935,"width":400,"height":420,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/04/Elite-Football-Combine-2023-03-17-019.jpg?w=400" alt="" class="wp-image-801935" width="400" height="420" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moore was the biggest surprise to me among the 2024s at the combine, and one of the biggest surprises at any position. He clearly showed he was a legit D1 prospect based on his performance, which soon followed afterwards with him picking up his first D1 offer from UNLV. Toby tested well at 6'4" 272lbs and ran a really nice 5.1 laser forty on the day. He showed impressive quickness, speed and athleticism. He has quick feet and uses his hands well in pass pro, and he was tenacious and played to the whistle in one on ones. I was under the impression that he was more of a defensive line prospect coming into the combine, but he showed that he has the goods to be a D1 offensive lineman with his showing. Toby has the frame to get much bigger and keep his athleticism and has a lot of potential to still fufill.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='126265' first='Quinn' last='Brown'] | Holt |</strong><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":801658,"width":404,"height":423,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/04/Elite-Football-Combine-2023-03-17-053.jpg?w=400" alt="" class="wp-image-801658" width="404" height="423" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6'5" 256lb offensive tackle looked the best I have seen him at the combine. He has good size, moves well, good athleticism, ran a 5.4 forty and tested well in all areas. He shined in the one on ones and showed nice aggressiveness in his pass pro and really battled the defensive linemen. Quinn has a quick kick step and uses his hands well. You can tell he has had some solid training and devoted time to improve his skills as an offensive lineman. Good frame and can add a lot more weight. Colleges are taking notice of his development and Quinn picked up an offer from Air Force the following week after the combine. I see a big senior season ahead for him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Giovanni Patton | Truman |</strong><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":801945,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/04/Elite-Football-Combine-2023-03-17-115.jpg?w=400" alt="" class="wp-image-801945" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Giovanni is a massive young man who can really move at 6'6" 372lbs. You would never guess he weighed that much based on his ability to run and perform in testing, drills and one on ones. He has long arms that he uses to his advantage and moves his feet well in pass pro and displayed that in one on ones. Defensive linemen have a long way to go to try and run around him when he is right. In games he is a very good run blocker as well. He has been a bit of a late bloomer and has some really nice potential going forward in football as he continues to learn and get in better football shape. Colleges and JUCOs are starting to take notice and Giovanni recently picked up his first offer from Southwest Baptist University. Others schools are interested in getting Patton on campus for visits and camps. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>OTHERS WHO STOOD OUT</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Andrew Flaherty Priory</strong> - Another massive OL at 6'8.5" 301 who is coming into his own and really trains hard to improve, which I have seen over the last year. He more then held his own on the day. Multiple colleges are brining Andrew in for visits and camps.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='322633' first='Steven' last='Jamison'] St. Mary's</strong> - Under the radar O-Lineman who is a real battler and works hard. Did well in one on ones and a player to watch in his senior season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='130194' first='Jackson' last='Pasley'] Lafayette</strong> - A talented interior offensive linemen to watch for that colleges are away of. He is impressive with his skills and plays bigger then his size. Goes hard every down.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ayden Saunders Farmington - </strong>Another offensive linemen who came and competed hard against some good competition that caught my eye despite being only 230lbs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
