WEEK 7: Notable Offensive Line Prospects

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's time to give the Big Fellas some recognition as high school football coverage has been swamped with skill players and quarterback standouts. Throughout the week following Friday HS Football Game Day, Prep Redzone scout Drew Johnson will be highlighting some of the standouts and notable performances from the weekend and we will now be listing Lineman Standouts. Teams around the state kicked off week six and there were certainly some Notable Standouts to note. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Note: If you feel we missed a prospect or have a notable prospect that is worth mentioning, <strong>DM me @RealNews102.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"17px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:17px"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='951508' first='Frederick' last='Hinton'] | OT | 2024 | IMG | @fredavelle</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"17px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:17px"><strong>6'6, 292</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hinton picked up about 6 offers following a summer camp and seemed to get attention from just about every coach. He's a behemoth of a lineman product that needs to be on the radar of the majority of college coaches in Florida.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Film: </strong><a href="https://access.qwikcut.com/highlights/6389005f6326deddfef6c08"><strong>https://access.qwikcut.com/highlights/6389005f6326deddfef6c08</strong></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"17px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:17px"><strong>Davontae Kendrick | OG | 2024 | Lakeland | @davonta11747491</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"17px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:17px"><strong>6'4, 360</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kendrick has been a dominant figure on Lakeland's offensive line which features multiple running backs. He's a fearful sight for some HS defensive linemen because of his sheer size and get-off explosiveness. It's not just the size but his technique has developed as well. He has decent bend and can get out to block second-level players. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Film: </strong><a href="https://x.com/davonta11747491/status/1599047519853744128?s=46&amp;t=E0s2L9z46AqxWmKm25SmTQ"><strong>https://x.com/davonta11747491/status/1599047519853744128?s=46&amp;t=E0s2L9z46AqxWmKm25SmTQ</strong></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"17px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:17px"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='827407' first='Ben' last='Beymer'] | OL | 2025 | Lakeland | @BenBeymer</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"17px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:17px"><strong>6'8, 290</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Beymer made the move over to Lakeland High for his junior season where he's flashed on tape as a developing tackle prospect that has the tools in the box to work and become a true D1 prospect. He's the tallest lineman on the list that fits the college look but once he works more on his bend and hands, his upside will be through the roof.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Film: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17394420/65109085b023ad0554dd20a9"><strong>https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17394420/65109085b023ad0554dd20a9</strong></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"17px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:17px"><strong>Tristan Black | OL | 2024 | Lake Gibson | @Tristanblack111</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"17px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:17px"><strong>6'6, 270</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another tackle prospect on the list has been moved around the offensive line this season for Lake Gibson. He's a confident player who plays with his heart on his sleeve. He has a college-ready frame combined with a decent technique. He also has to work on his stance and bend ability which are areas he'll need to work on to produce at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Film: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/15779426/651aac710dc0570110bda043"><strong>https://www.hudl.com/video/3/15779426/651aac710dc0570110bda043</strong></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Oakleaf Big Three</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"17px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:17px"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='154203' first='Quory' last='Ambrose'] | 2024 | Oakleaf | @brosethealbum</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>6'1, 280</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"17px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:17px"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='404513' first='Akeem' last='Neal'] | 2024 | Oakleaf | @AkeemNeal2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>6'4, 290</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"17px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:17px"><strong>Christopher Jules | OL | 2026 | Oakleaf | @Bigchris2008</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>6'2, 240</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"17px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:17px"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='737816' first='Sam' last='Ballentine'] | OL | 2024 | Hagerty | @sam_ballentine</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"17px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:17px"><strong>6'4, 275</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ballentine is a versatile product on the offensive line that can be shifted around to fulfill different roles.
