Austin is a 2024 offensive line prospect that popped out at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase and is one I have to say I am surprised he still doesn’t have his first offer yet. What Austin showed off from the start was plenty of fluidity with his mobile footwork. That sound footwork allowed Austin to get into the second level on a handful of reps I watched, as an OC prospect that did not allow a sack during the 2023 season for the Patriots offensive line. Austin also shows off great finesse with his hand placement on his reps as his hands are agile and show off ample power. This kid is a hidden gem in the 2024 class out of the capital city that would be on my “offer now” list from our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase.
One particular skillset I thought Hudson improved mildly during our showcase with his attention to detail with his pad-level as I feel the power of his hands was consistent, but his positioning certainly has developed from our last live evaluation. Hudson has never lacked physicality at all, however I felt his technique stocked off longer stock value rep by rep with also improvement on his footwork as well. I believe continued growth with his speed and agility will certainly show off why I already have a next-level grade on Hudson as one of the top offensive linemen in South Dakota and is one that I believe plays bigger than his measurables might show you at 6’1 295 pounds.
If I dished out an award for Most Improved from a returner to our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase, my first vote would be for Elkton-Lake Benton OL Rylen Coe Rylen Coe 6’3″ | 240 lbs | OL Elkton-Lake Benton | 2025 State SD . Rylen has not only grown to now 6’4, but I quickly saw the strides this young man has made with his growth of his footwork as he showed much more agile at this Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase. Rylen’s quickly developing athleticism shows off the mobility of more of a tight end than an offensive linemen, which to me gives him some position flexibility at the next level. He also has improved his hand position to give him a smoother grip on his defender and with the growth he’s made look for him to be utilized more with some angle-blocking looks. I love the next-level ceiling Rylen has and certainly is a prospect with A-grade character to improve any locker room he steps into.

The most impressive offensive line prospect from the early testing by far was East Grand Forks 2025 Rylan Gravos Rylan Gravos 6’4″ | 230 lbs | OL East Grand Forks | 2025 MN who per our partners at Tracking Football, ran his pro agility faster than 84% of of Division I offensive linemen which is impressive to hear, being the amount of frame you can still had to Rylan over the coming years. Rylan also had one of the most athletic bends I saw from the offensive line group last Sunday, as a prospect that although still growing, could fluently get under the pads of bigger defenders and that also rolls out on tape. Rylan has plenty of not just length but agility in his first step to the ball and is an offensive line prospect that is proactive with winning with his positioning at the point of attack. He certainly in my eyes, looks like another East Grand Forks offensive linemen that I have gotten the opportunity to track that looks like he has Saturday football in his future.
