The Prep Redzone Indiana Showcase Big Boy Standouts

<p>There were a ton of talented offensive and defensive linemen at this weekend's showcase. Today, we're taking a look at some of those guys and what they offer moving forward!</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='361830' first='Wyatt' last='Boals'] - Northridge - OL/DL - 6'4" 275lbs - 2024</h2>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/05/56-Wyatt-Boals-1-crop-3392x2228-1684165117.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-825356" width="357" height="234" /></figure>   <p>Boals may have be the single highest riser from this weekend's event. You see he's listed at 6'4" 275lbs, but it doesn't really hit you until you see him. He absolutely fills out that frame, and with that frame, has a ton of ability. His raw strength was almost humorous at moments. In T-shirts and shorts, he was accidentally burying defensive linemen during 1 on 1s. I say accidentally, because you can tell he was just trying to hold them up. He pushed a bit too hard and you would have thought the Super Bowl was on the line with how quickly he buried the lineman. He was one of the best overall athletes at the lineman position there on Saturday as well. His 40-yard dash of 5.30 isn't anything super flashy, but very respectable for a man of his size. He also took defensive reps and did Indy with them. Same situation there as he looked fantastic, picked up Coach Williams's coaching points as he gave them out, and improved in the short period of time. Up until this weekend, it's safe to say Boals has been criminally underrated by everyone, including me.</p>   <p>Twitter: <strong>@BoalsWyatt</strong></p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='321373' first='Evan' last='Parker'] - Carmel - OL - 6'4" 315lbs - 2025</h2>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/05/57-Evan-Parker-1-crop-3392x2228-1684165356.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-825364" width="354" height="232" /></figure>   <p>Parker has so much potential waiting to be crafted that it's fairly wicked. His size is real, and with that, he has every ounce of power you'd expect. Once he gets his hands on a defensive lineman, they ride the struggle bus. Being 6'4", his arm length is an advantage in it's own right. He's able to get first contact, place his hands where he wants, and dictates that rep. He's very sound when dealing with someone trying to get to his inside. Much more natural than when someone is going to his outside. He's not bad when they're to his outside, but he's phenomenal if they try to cross his face. He washes them out every time. He's also got decent feet and they aren't bricks like some bigger linemen can have. I felt like he had a great day all-around and proved why he's such a reliable piece for Carmel. Mind you, he's heading into his Junior year as well. </p>   <p>Twitter: <strong>@EvanParker66</strong></p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='486419' first='Jackson' last='Sarjent'] - Brownsburg - DL - 6'1" 250lbs - 2025</h2>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/05/48-Jackson-Sarjent-1-crop-3392x2228-1684165507.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-825367" width="365" height="240" /></figure>   <p>Sarjent was my pick for defensive line MVP. I thought from start to finish, he had an elite performance and looked good across the board. His 40-yard dash of 4.96 to start the day was fantastic in it's own right. It was one that really caught everyone off guard. His second one, identical. Right then, he put the camp on notice. Then, during drills he just unleashed. I don't know how to explain it, but when the ball is snapped and it's his rep, he just gets that look in his eye. He absolutely feasted on getting around the corner. He has straight raw power and showed the ability to bull-rush and still make the tackle. He's a very sound athlete on the line and it really helped him on Saturday. Sarjent is still developing in the weight room as well and growing into his frame, so there's even more potential there. An absolutely fantastic day from Sarjent has me very excited to see what he does this fall.</p>   <p>Twitter: <strong>@SarjentJackson</strong></p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='359438' first='Isaiah' last='White'] - Ben Davis - DL - 6'3" 275lbs - 2025</h2>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/05/50-Isaiah-White-1-crop-3392x2228-1684165597.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-825369" width="374" height="245" /></figure>   <p>White may be the single biggest wildcard at the camp on Saturday. Literally, and figuratively. His size is no joke and he's as thick and well balanced as anyone you'll come across, especially at that age. His hands and the power that he has is an absolute game changer. He's got the power to be an elite bull-rusher. While he doesn't quite know how to do so, if taught proper technique, he'd quickly become the running game's biggest nightmare. While speed may not be his best trait, he makes up for it in other areas. His length at the line and ability to reach is very rare. The single most intriguing match-up on Saturday during 1 on 1's was Parker vs White. Carmel vs Ben Davis. Raw talent and length vs raw talent and length. Iron sharpens iron as they say, and this piece of iron got sharper on Saturday.</p>   <p>Twitter: <strong>@Isaiah_White95</strong></p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='825401' first='Jaden' last='Curtis'] - Brebeuf Jesuit - DL - 5'11" 290lbs - 2025</h2>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/05/52-Jaden-Curtis-1-crop-3392x2228-1684166003.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-825371" width="390" height="256" /></figure>   <p>Curtis was very sound from start to finish. He was one of the most versatile defensive linemen and was able to move inside or outside, but he definitely prefers to be on the outside. Having the ability to let loose and come downhill is much more exciting for defensive linemen obviously, but you still need to be able to contain the edge, which Curtis did a good job of. He's got subtle movements that really help get him some space and get by his guy. He's decent in the run game and is much better shedding blocks than linemen seem to anticipate. A young recruit, but a good and upcoming one no doubt. Curtis is the perfect type of recruit to watch at camps and make an impact for his team, but not be the one to tell everyone. He simply does his job and wants to get better, nothing needs to be sugar coated with him.</p>   <p>Twitter: <strong>@JCurt25</strong></p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='825402' first='Dakota' last='Ditsch'] - Saint Joseph (SB) - OL - 6'1" 245lbs - 2025</h2>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/05/54-Dakota-Ditsch-1-crop-2502x1643-1684165011.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-825354" width="351" height="230" /></figure>   <p>Ditsch isn't someone who came out and lit up testing or left as MVP, but he didn't go unnoticed. He looked good. He really did. He's got a fantastic young frame that he's seems to be filling out fairly well. He's not stiff and bends well. While it was obvious he was much more comfortable on the right side of the line, I don't think he'd take long to adjust to the left side. He's the lineman I thought had one of the strongest punches and hands in general. When they were working on pass protection, his footwork wasn't bad once he settled down. I think just being a younger recruit, he was a bit antsy being the first to go in some drills. However, I liked that he didn't back down and asked a plethora of questions because he was there to learn and get better. Ditsch is absolutely a name to watch this fall as someone who can really begin to put his name on the map.</p>   <p>Twitter: <strong>@Daksch51</strong></p>   <p><h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='825421' first='Daniel' last='Dodd'] - Pike - OL - 6'1" 265lbs - 2024</h2><p>Dodd had a fantastic day in my opinion, and was one of the best offensive linemen there in general. The first thing that really stands out is his center of gravity and ability to slide while keeping balance. Incredibly strong on contact and doesn't rock back on his heels. Aggressive in the running game, finesse in pass sets, and quality snaps are where he thrived most. Being a Center, you'd hope he's capable of good snapping. He really looked good practicing zone and getting to his block on his outside shade. He's got a solid first step as well when attacking in the run game. I really thought he had a fantastic day and was someone that I'd love to see more of in the future.</p></p>   <p><p>Twitter: <strong>@Ddodd51_</strong></p></p>
