He does a good job getting his body between the defensive player and the ball carrier when bouncing to the next level.rnrnJefferson is solid as a pass blocker largely due to his strong initial punch, but he is often uncovered and helping the tackle or center in pass protection.rnrnCommitment: Arizona State","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65b34e7600a65"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/MataiJefferson/status/1739353755890733181?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/MataiJefferson/status/1739353755890733181?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["282772"],"_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":"Wnetrzak attended a Prep Redzone Showcase last spring and his recruitment has blown up since then.rnrnHis size a big draw to college coaches and he moves his body pretty well for a guy who is so big.

He drives his feet through contact and if you let him get his body close to you, it's going to be a long night.rnrnSometimes he takes an extra step while run blocking without gaining much ground, but he makes up for it with his strength. He's a really good athlete who gets down the field while pulling and can get to the second level.rnrnIn pass protection, he defends the bullrush well and proves that the lowest man doesn't always win. He transferred to Santa Margarita from Xavier Prep and it will be interesting to see him play against Trinity League competition.rnrnOffers: Arizona State","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65b34e7600b3c"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/elijah_vaikona/status/1737966838942957944?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/elijah_vaikona/status/1737966838942957944?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["841045"],"_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":"I first saw Perdue at the Allegiance OL camp last spring and was impressed by him and how coachable he was.rnrnPerdue is an excellent run blocker who always gets his hips between the defender and the ball carrier.
