<p>The OK-White is shaping out to be a very competitive league. West Catholic is the no-doubt frontrunner to win this league, but there are other teams with great talent who will be fighting tooth and nail for that #1 spot. This time on Hudl Discoveries, I'll be evaluating five more brand-new players from the new-look OK-White. </p>

<p>Last season, Ben proved to be a solid all-around role player. The best thing about Ben's film is that he's a three-phase player, which is something you rarely see. At all positions, Ben looks to have average athleticism with an average skillset. He's got good vision as a kick returner but lacks the speed to consistently make explosive returns. He's a good possession target as a receiver who can sit in a zone and convert a first-down when needed. At safety, Ben really needs to improve his reaction and grit when stopping the run. All in all, Ben is someone who could take a major step up next season. I'm glad to see that he's received an offer from Calvin, and I hope he can improve and eventually earn more Division 3 offers. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">'25 DT/G | [player_tooltip player_id='1298697' first='Cameron' last='Morgan'] | GR Christian | (No Twitter found)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Listed at 6'2" 285 on Hudl, Cameron has great size for a potentially elite defensive tackle. His skill is currently a bit underdeveloped, but that doesn't mean he can't make strides this offseason. Considering his size, I would love to see Cameron fire off the ball a bit faster while using his great size to his advantage. Currently, Cameron tends to play a bit too patient and doesn't effectively overpower many blockers. As a run defender, he can scrape through blocks and work his way to the running back in the C gap or outside, but he also struggles to hold his position against better linemen. His pass rush is another area that needs work, as he's a bit pedestrian and doesn't seem to have a great understanding of pass rush- which is the case for the vast majority of players. If Cameron can work on his stamina and explosiveness, he could take a leap this coming fall. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">'25 G | Brayden Sybra | Forest Hills Eastern | No Twitter</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Although a tad short, I like what Brayden's put on film. It's diverse enough to see that he has a great foundation of just about any type of block. There's pass blocking, pull, gap blocks, and more on here. Starting with his pass blocking, I love his hands and kickstep. It's a very small sample size, but he looked balanced and strong with those reps. Braden's general run blocking is solid, but needs some work. It's not every highlight, but there are times when he fails to stay low, finish the block, or engages with the block off-balance and weak. Just from his highlights, I wouldn't be shocked if he was good enough to be a Division 3 prospect. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">'26 QB | [player_tooltip player_id='1225740' first='Grady' last='Augustyn'] | West Catholic | <a href="https://x.com/augustyn_g85910">@augustyn_g85910</a></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Grady is a relatively raw quarterback with a sky-high ceiling. Last season, he put some impressive stuff on tape. To start, he's starting to show an ability to go through reads and deliver quick throws. He has decent film in the quick game, throwing bullets to his first read. Grady should work on consistently getting to his second or third read without trying to escape the pocket. In terms of deep balls, it's obvious that Grady has great arm talent. He's able to throw the ball 30+ yards downfield with relative ease, but the accuracy just isn't where it needs to be. Finally, Grady's dual-threat ability allows him to make a lot of plays with his legs, and I'm interested to see where his dual-threat abilities are improvised vs drawn-up within the offense. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">'25 DL/OL | Tag Kelly | Spring Lake | <a href="https://x.com/tag_kelly">@tag_kelly</a></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There are a lot of great aspects of Tag's tape. Right off the bat, Tag's effort and tenacity show. Whether it's on the offensive or defensive line, Tag explodes off the ball. Offensively, he uses his leverage to immediately win the block. Defensively is where Tag shows the best tape and the most potential. In addition to his explosiveness out of his stance, Tag shows continued explosiveness and athleticism while defending the run. Tag has a notably great tackle radius and great change of direction. He also has a solid swim move, but is generally unproven when shedding pass blocks. I'd love to see Tag at some camps this offseason! Because of his height, he's likely a future Division 3 prospect. </p>
