That should tell you how excited I am by this kid's tape. Seven minutes of dominance out of the 6'5, Dexter Southfield sophomore. Phenomenal in pass protection reps. Phenomenal in run-blocking sets, both on the move as a puller or off the snap. Hips look bendy, flexible enough to keep him athletic on the move, capable of absorbing good get-offs from opponents. Great feet post kick-back. His tape is overtly aggressive, yet you can spot some finesse in his feet and hands. Should be labeled a tackle prospect despite the intrigue at guard when run blocking.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-642f008a0e2b7"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/HardyWatts2/status/1600672745687220225?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/HardyWatts2/status/1600672745687220225?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["405130"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"The sophomore tone-setter amongst an elite Greenwich program in Connecticut.

Plug on the tape and you'll find out how equally proficient this young man is in both stopping the run, as well as blocking it. Off the bat, you'd like you're 6'2-and-under linemen to attempt to play both ways, testing their abilities at DT can only help their recruiting. [player_tooltip player_id='405130' first='Peter' last='Vomvolakis'] exemplifies two-way player. I can make the case that Vomvolakis is the best two-way trench player in his class. Fun tape to watch.

Beef, violent finisher, [player_tooltip player_id='385402' first='Charlie' last='Simeone'] going to win off his initial punch more times than not. Sheer power in his upper and lower body, Simeone keeps things a bit old school. Simeone seeks out his assignment, puts a hat on a hat, and bulldozes a path for the ball carrier. Left tackle capabilities, experienced in run-blocking sets so a move to right tackle could be expected at the next level. I'm enamored with his initial punch off the snap, all this leads to Simeone projecting to guard, except when you continue through the six-minute tape and see some of his pass-pro reps.

We are splitting hairs between many of these top linemen in terms of rank, [player_tooltip player_id='617715' first='Samuel' last='Morales'] could very well be at the top of this list with new tape. Early in his sophomore tape, you'll see just how proficient a run-blocking tackle Morales is. Phenomenal out of his stance, delivers first blow when lead blocking on outside zone sets. Involved in many combo blocks that incorporate a tight end. Can reach the second level and locate his assignment efficiently. Natural mover in space. Gets his backside in the hole when sealing. Violent finisher when down blocking. Incredible limb/grip strength, that of a wrestler. Don't see too many pass-pro reps on film.

Another lineman that received a Division One grade out of me. His tape, albeit a bit shorter than I'd like, provides a wide spectrum of the kid's capabilities. Great upper body strength, is more than likely a weight room warrior with the press he's able to get off his chest. He gives attention to hand placement, can improve but is already proficient here. Another violent finisher. Coaches will rightfully be concerned with his lower body, how stiff is he in his back-kick or on the go. The kid's a giant, watching him work in pass protection and attempt to stay balanced and fluid was a pleasure.

Although I didn't cover OL/DL at the event last week, I came away impressed with the way Sheely moved in individual drills. Got to see some of his knee-bend, flexibility, balance. Those are major areas of intrigue when speaking on Sheely the prospect. His tape is just 2 minutes long, which leaves a little left to be desired. One of the more massive prospects on this list, Sheely's short tape still places him close to a top ten linemen in his class, top 35 overall as well. Sheely's rank is more of a projection as to where I think he could be with a full body of work under the STM umbrella.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-642f008a0e422"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["385254"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"I also had a brief look at [player_tooltip player_id='385254' first='Elijah' last='Alcorn-Crowder'] at our camp last week.

[player_tooltip player_id='385254' first='Elijah' last='Alcorn-Crowder'] received a D1 FCS grade out of me, yet he's got the physical tools to explode beyond that threshold. Here's what Roger Silva had to say in a recent post.rnrnu003cemu003eu0022He had a very good showing as expected and easily confirmed his placement in our rankings as the #12 defensive lineman in New England in class of 2025. He took on repeated efforts from the defensive lineman group and he easily won the majority of the battles.  He is a rising talent that has time and room for future growth and  development.

The position suits him, it's one that he'll likely be approached to play at the next level. The Springfield Central interior linemen boasts some of the better footwork I've seen from prospects on this list. His lower body is revving constantly. I'm surprised at the number of pass-protection reps he shows on tape, he can pull and maul with the best of them, but if he can show off the strength to pass-protect against some of the beefier IDL in MA, it would do wonders for his early stock.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-642f008a0e4b7"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["383690"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='383690' first='Harrison' last='DeWitt']'s positional rank took a dip solely because we found some reclassifying prospects that we liked a bit more, those prospects also had 2022 tape.

The broken fibula shouldn't affect my views on the kid as a whole, I thought of him as a D1 prospect beforehand, that still holds true.

Works out of Hamden Hall CDHS, Acosta is an absolute bulldozer of a right tackle. You cannot let this sophomore get into your chest. If he does, consider yourself out of the play, he's got eleven minutes of tape to back that notion up. Easier said than done, Acosta bears heavy limbs on his matchup, hand-fighting to finesse your way around Acosta is useless unless you win with speed off the snap.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-642f008a0e539"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/innerssllc/status/1622603411458863114?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/innerssllc/status/1622603411458863114?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
