Five Offensive Linemen We All Will Be Talking About More in 2023

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today we breakdown the tape of five offensive linemen that should become household names for the 2023 season. These linemen vary in size, but all manage to get the job done in a number of ways. These linemen all reside in Monmouth and Ocean Counties and thus play within Jersey's Shore Conference.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["379688"],"_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 Raritan Rockets might have one of the most physical and technically sound o-linemen that I have scouted in the state thus far. Also a wrestler and former basketball player, [player_tooltip player_id='379688' first='Tommy' last='Jeleniewski'] is 6'3u0022 275lbs, made 28 tackles on defense, and also plays center - which is a big plus for recruiting.rnrnJeleniewski is a beast when it comes to drive blocking. He has great leg drive and keeps opponents tight to his chest while controlling his opponents by the breast plate. Additionally, he plays through the whistle and does not give up on any blocks. Taking into consideration his size and speed, he takes great angles on toss plays when asked to reach block to the second level. Jeleniewski is effective in creating separation from pass rushers, keeping them at bay. I would love to see Jeleniewski win more consistently with his head when blocking back.rnrnI really enjoyed watching Jeleniewski's tape. His game is one that translates to any scheme, he has the size to play any position on the o-line, and he is a prospect that colleges need to know about.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6451e04668ddf"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14877486/6371a6748cde0f0d84ba25a2' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6451e04668e3b"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/tjeleniewski65","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/tjeleniewski65 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["811048"],"_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":"Much of the buzz that surrounds Toms River North revolves around the state's top o-lineman OT [player_tooltip player_id='363403' first='Ja'elyne' last='Matthews'].

Kaye also throws shot put and discus for the Mariners.rnrnKaye has the ability to overpower and have opponents, literally, totally fold in on themselves in his first two steps. I attribute Kaye's ability to demolish anyone in front of him to how he loads up, cocking back his hands for a shell-shocking punch within his first two steps. Kaye is nimble enough to get to the second level, and when he does, he latches on and drives LBs backwards. Two areas I think Kay can build upon that would catapult his recruiting status to bonafide FBS prospect is to get his head across consistently on backside blocks and limit false steps.rnrnWith two enormous bodies blocking up front, a QB who is headed to Stanford University, and a DB/RB also of FBS caliber, Toms River North might be the most loaded, prolific public school team since the early-to-mid-2000 Piscataway Chiefs.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6451e04668ea7"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/11632303/6397c9934210da03c89d1963' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6451e04668ecc"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/justinkaye56","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/justinkaye56 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["811047"],"_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":"A pair of Cougars look to lead Colts Neck in the trenches next fall.

Enter [player_tooltip player_id='811050' first='Ryan' last='Lewandoski'], the 6 foot 240lb lacrosse player.rnrnThe Devil is in the details and that is perhaps what makes Lewandoski so lethal. First, he is never out leveraged when blocking because he consistently steps with the correct foot. Lewandoski is chest-to-chest with his assignment while controlling his matchup because he has hands locked onto their breast plate, establishing his 3-points of contact. He does not give up his base either, maintaining the distance between his legs and churns his legs as he drives blocks. He can effectively get to the second level and with his fundamentals so strong, Lewandoski totally bodies opponents on double teams. Should Lewandoski bend a little bit more and include clips of him in pass protection, he will solidify is status as a blue-chip prospect that a college o-line coach can build around.rnrnLoaded with talent (more to come on that), Middletown South is a team who kept receipts all through the offseason.

He leverages this well to play with a lower pad level and attack his matchup at their hips. Klimovich likes to play to the whistle and follows the play consistently when backside. Working well with his adjacent linemen is a plus, as together they get good vertical displacement on down-linemen. When solo, he can effectively drive block opponents. Should Klimovich wish to play college football, I urge him to create a highlight tape for himself to market to coaches at the next level.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/team/v2/12806/Boys-Varsity-Football/highlightsu0022u003eHudlu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6451e04668fad"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/AndrewKlim77","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/AndrewKlim77 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
