Standing at 6'7u0022 and weighing 345 pounds, Dejan dominates in the run game, consistently opening up substantial holes for his running back. Excelling primarily in a zone run scheme thanks to his impressive mobility, he also thrives in gap scheme runs, quickly advancing to the second level. In pass protection, Dejan's lateral movement is exceptional for his size. However, he could benefit from a more vertical approach in his pass set to establish a stronger anchor, as his current tendency towards horizontal sets sometimes leads to overreaching and allows defensive ends to go by him. As the top offensive lineman in Western Canada last season, and now with Football North, Dejan's physical prowess and game footage make a compelling case for multiple Division One FBS offers.rnrnCheck Out [player_tooltip player_id='1235642' first='Dejan' last='Guzina']'s HUDL: u003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2Luc4Du0022u003ehttp://www.hudl.com/v/2Luc4Du003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660f39462461a"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1213545"],"_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":"Tamarley Smith stands out as one of Canada's premier offensive linemen. At 6'6u0022 and 295 pounds, Smith dominates as an offensive guard at the high school level, showcasing remarkable movement ability in the run game and proficiency in pass protection. Operating primarily in a gap scheme run game, Smith excels as a pulling guard, seamlessly switching between left and right guard positions as needed. His quickness in getting out in front of the play and engaging defensive linemen at the correct angles allows him to open substantial holes for his running back. In pass protection, his strength enables him to anchor down and maintain his position, effectively occupying space in the offensive line's interior. Smith's movement ability suggests he would also thrive in a zone run scheme, and his size indicates potential as an offensive tackle. As a highly-regarded offensive line prospect from Canada with multiple Division One offers, Smith has committed to play for Eastern Michigan.rnrnCheck Out Tamarely Smith's HUDL: u003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2MCCxKu0022u003ehttp://www.hudl.com/v/2MCCxKu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66106cde08752"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":1237540,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1260628' first='Brett' last='Miller']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"330","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Clarkson Football North","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1260628' first='Brett' last='Miller'] stands out as an exceptional offensive line prospect from Football North.

In the run game, Miller's remarkable strength and agility allow him to excel in both gap and zone schemes. He is adept at gaining the right leverage against defensive linemen and displays quick mobility to engage linebackers from the second level. In pass protection, Miller demonstrates a patient pass set, enabling him to drop an anchor and leverage his strength effectively.

Standing at 5'11u0022 and weighing 190lb, Lucas is versatile, capable of playing as a receiver and executing receiver routes out of the backfield. His primarily played in a zone run scheme, where he excelled, rushing for over 1300 yards in just 6 games. Lucas regularly sheds tackles with his formidable lower body strength and determination to gain extra yards every play. His field vision is sharp, adept at finding and exploiting the open holes in the defense. While not the fastest in open field, clocking a 4.7s forty-yard dash, his intelligence and skill make him an asset in pass protection and a promising special teams starter at the next level.

Throughout his junior season, Wilson has demonstrated his versatility by playing at three defensive levels, thanks to his remarkable combination of speed and strength. With a 4.6-second forty-yard dash and the power to attack offensive linemen during blitzes, Wilson shines. Despite his experience across the defense, I envision him as a safety in the future because of his proficiency in coverage and his exceptional ability to blitz with speed. His zone coverage skills are outstanding; he adeptly senses all threats within his zone while being able to keep eyes on the quarterback. Wilson's fluidity also allows him to effectively cover slot receivers in zone defense. He is projected to be a Division One safety, and as more people watch his tape, the offers are likely to follow.rnrnCheck Out [player_tooltip player_id='1260682' first='Shane' last='Keyes Wilson']'s HUDL: u003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2MjhLcu0022u003ehttp://www.hudl.com/v/2MjhLcu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6611c73b1b1e1"} /-->
