In a state like Colorado where the weather can be an enormous factor, the offensive line play becomes even more crucial in securing a victory. Yes–the game is becoming pass happy, but if you don’t have the earth-movers up front to be able to run the ball and keep the defense honest, it’s going to be a long day. The big dawgs below have already started to separate themselves as difference makers up front.
The initial Prep Redzone Next Colorado 2028 Watchlist is live and will be updated three more times before August 2024. Continue to check out the other position breakdowns as they’re released on PrepRedZone.com/Next.
Noyes is only barely starting to scratch the surface of how good he could potentially be with development and hard work. Blessed with elite size, standing an unverified 6-foot-6 and 265 pounds in just the eighth-grade, he flat out dominates at times–as he should, with his size advantage. On a Highlands Ranch PREP Mountain Lions squad with several linemen that project to play football at the next level, he plays right tackle. Also a wrestler and track and field athlete, if he continues to improve his overall athleticism, functional movement and strength in his lower hald, there’s no reason he can’t be a highly recruited prospect when the time comes.
Highlights
Brice Boulton Brice Boulton 6’2″ | 280 lbs | OL CO is offensive and defensive tackle for the Colorado Jr. Buffs and is another prospect with a huge upside if he can put the total package together. As an eighth-grade offensive tackle, he comes with very good size, roughly in the neighborhood of 6-foot-2 and 260 pounds (last verified height was 6’1, 246 in March). He wins a lot of 1-on-1 battles during run blocks because he’s simply bigger than the majority of guys he goes up against. As a pass blocker there’s significant room for improvement in terms of agility, fundamentals and pad level. With that said, he’s one of the more successful big men in the 2028 at this point, but he needs to continue to work to reach his potential.
