Jahari Medlock
Jahari Medlock
Jahari Medlock is an intriguing traits prospect with the athletic profile to be a mainstay on the FBS recruiting scene. At 6’6 295, his size alone jumps off the page and offers plenty to get excited about. He is still thin-limbed, which means he will only add more play strength and put on good weight in the future. He quickly gets into his pass set and is light enough on his feet to cut off rush angles from different alignments. Pair that with his length, and he is a clear candidate to protect the blind side. In the run game, he is quick off the snap, which sets up his entire game. He can spill, down block, and search in the open field. He may look a little raw, but he can get his hands on defenders and act as a convoy downfield in the run game. Medlock has picked up several FBS offers this offseason and has P4 upside.
Evan Scott Evan Scott 6’5″ | 305 lbs | OL Augusta Christian | 2025 GA is a powerful OL prospect with energy and violence that pops off the tape. Most of his reps are at LT, but he looks like a candidate to slide over to RT or inside later in his career. At 6’5 300, he is long enough to catch and manipulate pass rushers, but he is more of a person mover in the trenches. He plays with good leverage, driving his feet when he makes contact with defenders and constantly working momentum through the ground. He flashes heavy hands with noticeable grip strength, which he uses to club and steer defenders to the ground. Scott had his way at a lower level of classification, rag dolling basically everyone he lined up against, but he still checks the measurables boxes and plays with a relentless motor that translates. With some adjustment to the speed of the college game, Scott could be a multi-year contributor at the college level.
Aidan Andrews
Aidan Andrews
Andrews is another violent blocker with good size and projectable athletic traits. He comes in at 6’4 305 with broad shoulders and room to grow in his legs. He sometimes stands straight up off the snap and could get caught off-balanced, but he is able to fight blocks with his hands and can decleat defenders in the open field. He is a hunter in the open field, locking in on an opponent and driving them through the turf or to the locker room. He has a wide pass set and showcases fiery hands which he uses to combat secondary moves from pass rushers. Due to his twitchy movement patterns and size, I think Andrews could be a tone-setter at LT.
Rain Banick
Rain Banick
Banick is a long, athletic OT prospect with low body fat and the frame to add at least another 20-30 pounds without sacrificing any athleticism or speed. He is a balanced blocker, which allows him to absorb and recover from bull-rushes, which is critical as he adds more play strength. Off the line, he is quick to kick out in front of rushers from wide alignments and convoy RBs out of the backfield. He has a clean, quick pass set, flashing the light-footedness to mirror edge defenders and the length to manipulate rushers at critical points of their pursuit. If defenders get the edge initially, Banick does a good job of quickly flipping his hips to run and wash rushers out of the backfield. Banick is long, athletic, and possesses physical upside. He also is fundamentally sound, balanced, and plays with patience. He is a high ceiling OT prospect who could end up being a better college player than HS.
Dennis Uzochukwu Dennis Uzochukwu 6’6″ | 265 lbs | OL Discovery | 2025 GA is a gifted athlete just playing football at this point of his career. He comes in at 6’6 235, flashing the frame and length to be a true LT prospect once he fully fills out. We hosted Uzochukwu at our camp in January, and while he was still raw, he flashed plenty of athletic potential. Even while he is still adding fundamentals to his game, Uzochukwu is willing on film to take on contact and can quickly locate and close in on blockers in the second level. At the end of the day, there aren’t many prospects in the country that can add 60+ pounds to their frame and still maintain athleticism. He may be a project, but he may worth the investment 3-4 years down the road.
