In an homage to the late, great Fife Dog, Fife showcased the strength his back and triceps possess. As opponents tried to rip past him, they were halted and met with resistance as they went nowhere. After the thwarted attempt and his opponent was entangled with him, Fife turned that block into a drive block away from the quarterback to maintain a pocket..... Buena Regional's [player_tooltip player_id='1274040' first='Brian' last='Passamante'] had a good day as well. Part of what attributed to Passamante's success was that he played with good bad level throughout the afternoon. Passamante's feet stayed active, perhaps a bit too active at times. I caught a few moments where his feet pitter-pattered a bit back-and-forth, rather than kicking or dragging..... Hailing from Burlington Township was [player_tooltip player_id='1274053' first='Xavier' last='Wimberly']. Wimberly showed upside on how he pulls. As he continues to work on his finish, Wimberly will be solid as a pulling guard on power. Wimberly's feet also showed promise and upside as they looked better as the day wore on. To his credit, I attribute this improvement to his coachability. Wimberly took coaching well and applied them well to his future reps.   The last two prospects to highlight both hand outstanding days. [player_tooltip player_id='1257586' first='Joe' last='Irvine'] of St. Augustine Prep showed why he is one of the area's top offensive line prospects. In pull simulation, Irvine finished with power as he worked from low-to-high and utilized his flipper. Irvine's feet kept moving during live competition. As he power stepped and worked, defenders routinely found themself way past the quarterback since Irvine drove them way backwards and effectively out of the play. Strong hands were also showcased during his his reps. Cloth was grabbed, opponents were controlled, and efforts were stopped as Irvine grabbed cloth tight and close to the inside of his matchup's chest. Irvine should continue to trust his kick step. It worked and was good, but then he stopped a few times. Keep going and trust your ability to power down to the inside gap and physicality.   If colleges do not know about Timber Creek's [player_tooltip player_id='1274046' first='Jayson' last='Ross'] they out to take notice. Low-key my favorite offensive line prospect in attendance, Ross moved FAST when he pulled. This moment routinely made bags pop and put his assignment on the floor. After a few spins, I do not think anyone enjoyed holding the back for Ross any more. Although he can stand to improve his pad level some, he is an absolute mauler at guard. Although it is called the "neutral zone," Ross considered the territory fare game. He seized knowing the snap count to check defensive linemen, refit his hands, drive his feet, and keep coming to essentially making their rep worthless. The last thing I will share on Ross is that as offensive units switched from the drill to the sideline, Ross was always the first one out and ready in his group. Ross would rotate all five positions on the line and was vocal, encouraging his platoon to compete and "work, work, work, work," as I vividly recall him chanting.
