Inside Look at Five 2025 OL

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There's some big time offensive linemen here in the 2025 class that need to have all eyes on them as they approach their Junior seasons. Take a look: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='348139' first='Demetri' last='Manning'], Bellevue </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Manning is a sure P5 kid with a massive ceiling as he enters his Jr. year. His size itself is a major eye opener for all P5 programs out there, as he stands 6'7" 340lbs with tremendous length. Currently, Manning holds 3 offers from Colorado, Louisville, and Nevada. Despite having just 3 offers right now, I expect his stock to take a drastic upward spike as he surely is developing into an absolute monster up front. Really excited to see Manning hit that next tier as he transitions into his Jr. season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Demetri_manning/status/1653524825904943104?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/Demetri_manning/status/1653524825904943104?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='693682' first='Willi' last='Wascher'], Bellevue</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This Bellevue OL is going to be scary. Wascher is a 6'3" 270lb bully up front that plays with a mean streak to frequently finish blocks to the ground. Excellent initial jump off the snap with great lateral mobility and speed to get to the second level. Excellent understanding of responsibilities and knowing when to climb to the second level as well. Very strong at the POA and he does a great job keeping his legs driving forward to manhandle and control opponents. Tenacious player that is 100% deserving of a division 1 offer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='587332' first='Noah' last='Thomas'], Skyview</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thomas is another monster along the OL as the young prospect sizes up with a great frame and build at 6'5" 255lbs. He doesn't hold an offer yet but I think he's about to land that first one anytime now and see them trickle in. He does a great job utilizing his length and play strength and shows the ability to move lateral down the line. Moves really well for his size and he brings strength to the POA and flashes a powerful punch. Really intriguing prospect with loads of potential moving forward. <img class="wp-image-817066" style="width: 250px" src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/04/PRZRisingStars-Superstars-crop-823x540-1683574094.jpg" alt=""></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='693695' first='Julian' last='Thomas-Goodson'], O'Dea</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thomas-Goodson sizes up at 6'3" 275lbs and did a great job at LT for O'Dea in 2022. Wide base with strength at the POA as he frequently showed the ability to drive opponents backward and finish blocks to the whistle. He can seal the edge if needed and flashed the ability to get downfield when needed as well. I really like the mean streak he plays with and he holds numerous intangibles to develop off of here this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='348189' first='Simetti' last='Jennings'], Life Christian Academy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jennings displays a very good center of gravity to absorb shock and not get knocked off balance when in a pass set. Wide base with a strong lower half to drive opponents backward in the run rame and he does a great job using his length and violent hands. A flat out big, strong kid with tons of potential and room to develop and rise his stock here in 2023 with his 6'3" 310lb frame. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
