He has a good frame for the interior OL position and can make a impact at the next level in college. His quick first step and ability to get his hands on defenders quickly while controlling the LOS and getting vertical push, makes him one of the more technically sound and powerful lineman across the Bay Area this fall. Look for SRV to continue their dominance between this impressive offensive line and one of the top signal callers in the state, [player_tooltip player_id='398472' first='Luke' last='Baker']. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["689901"],"_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_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6518f57d97d21"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Blake is another interior mauler that can win with pad level and leg drive after snapping out of his stance. He enters our rankings as a WL player in our latest updates, and is a name to note across the region as we draw closer to national singing day. Blake is a next level kid with plus athleticism and shows that he can pull and get out and block in space. He should draw D-II+ interest down the stretch of his Senior season and can make a impact on a college roster.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1158500' first='Delon' last='Craft']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'6u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Salesian","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6518f57d97da3"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Craft has a massive frame at 6'6" and change with a long body type and carries no bad weight, with the ability to continue adding to his frame as he moves through is last year of his prep career and onto the next level. Craft shows good feet for his size, can get underneath defensive ends which is impressive for his height, but shows good hip mobility in his stance while able to sustain a low pad level through contact. He is more of a in the box blocker that can get vertical push, but has the tools to be a elite offensive tackle at the next level. Only a Junior, his name will be one to note along this 2025 offensive line class across the Bay Area. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
