<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Canada has become a hotbed for college coaches across the country. To no one's surprise, more and more Canadians are being drafted into the NFL each year. The Québec province is no different as it is absolutely loaded with division one talent. Some of these prospects are staying in their home country while others are venturing to the States to play their high school ball. The majority of these guys are a bit raw, but their ceiling is through the roof. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As always, If you have someone you think I need to see, please DM them to me on Twitter at @hsfbscout!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>ATH: Jayden Arenas Michel, 6'4" 240, 2026</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jayden has the size and quickness to defeat opposing double teams, he can unlock his hips as a rusher and has subtle yet violent hands at the point of attack. He shows great lateral movement skills, a high motor, and an overall aggressive playing style. I think he's just beginning to scratch the surface. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>ATH: Olivier Camerlain, 6'6" 255, 2024</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He's got a tall, athletic build to him, he can put speed to power as a pass rusher and is quite nimble. His hands are well trained, he can discharge and get off blocks in the run game &amp; can bend at the knees, put his shoulder into blockers &amp; squeeze gaps against pullers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>LB: [player_tooltip player_id='1210665' first='David' last='Makonzo'], 6'2" 210, 2026</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>David scrapes down the line with his shoulders square to the line of scrimmage, he takes advantageous angles to the tackle and has the short area quickness to match shiftier backs in tight areas. He's got solid ball skills, he can fill gaps between the tackles and has a knack for generating forced fumbles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>DT: [player_tooltip player_id='1299800' first='Rodain' last='Smith'], 6'2" 240, 2026</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A powerful three-technique that can get skinny on the inside and can manhandle offensive linemen on man blocks. He knows how to retrace in his rush lane when he's gotten too far up the field, he's got a stout anchor that makes him tough to move in the run game and he'll punch on a rise &amp; roll his hips for maximum force on contact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>OLB: [player_tooltip player_id='1210718' first='Farell' last='Gnago'], 6'4" 230, 2024</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A sporty prospect that has potential at outside linebacker &amp; defensive end. Gnago is extremely twitchy off the edge, he has the body control to tackle out of awkward body positions and he can hastily shed &amp; stack opposing tackles. He can create knockback against tight ends and he's got a dynamite push-pull technique. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
