He dominates DEs from his OT spot with his long, physical frame at 6'7"/350 and shows great tools and skill as a run blocker. He moves his feet well, eliminates defenders on down blocks, and finishes his blocks with physicality through the whistle. Trotter picked up his first offer from Gardner-Webb last spring and should continue to put his name on the D-I radar with the upside he offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/74matttrotter/status/1721743133292028375","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/74matttrotter/status/1721743133292028375 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1081844' first='Justin' last='Blakeley']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Blakeley proved his power and versatility playing multiple positions for Mojave's OL unit last season. He's a strong, mauling blocker at 6'4"/290 that overpowers defenders when getting downhill in the run game. He does a good job of locating targets, getting to his spot, and unloading a violent punch at the POA. He's shown focus and improvement in his pass-blocking skillset this offseason, particularly in his footwork and leverage. Blakeley should be a vital piece of the Mojave OL again this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/justinb__53/status/1771018877499277327","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/justinb__53/status/1771018877499277327 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><em>Watchlist Prospects:</em></strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='876946' first='Jerrell' last='Anin']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Anin possesses the raw violence and physicality required to play in the trenches. He's a strong kid at 6'/270 that likes to get his hands on defenders and bully them in the run game. He worked out of multiple spots on the OL last season showing promising leverage and explosiveness off the ball at C. Look for continued development from Anin as he makes the move to Reed ahead of his junior season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Jerrellanin/status/1716694989273710741","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/Jerrellanin/status/1716694989273710741 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1110882' first='Anthony' last='Beltran']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Beltran figures to play a significant role along the interior for Arbor View's OL unit this upcoming season. He holds a strong 6'2"/300 frame, played some C as a freshman, and showed some spring ball reps at RG this past week. Look for Beltran to put his ability and skillset on display with more significant playing time as a junior. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/beltrananthony_/status/1779338385871765698","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/beltrananthony_/status/1779338385871765698 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='876945' first='Willem' last='DeHuff']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DeHuff's a versatile player that could end up playing either side of the ball in the trenches for Damonte Ranch. He carries more of an athletic frame at 6'2"/210 which could serve him well on at DE. DeHuff's a player to keep an eye on as he continues to develop on both sides of the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/WillemDehuff/status/1757481341581430817","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/WillemDehuff/status/1757481341581430817 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
