We had some outstanding talent all across the state of Oklahoma and even some of the surrounding states. We'll have a ton of coverage from the event dropping on Prep Redzone! In this post, we're putting the spotlight on the trenches with the offensive line and defensive line groups. Our defensive line group was without a doubt the deepest at the camp on Saturday. Garber 2025 offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='955653' first='Kooper' last='Hughes'] and Owasso 2025 defensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='1260190' first='Alijah' last='Hills'] were covered earlier this week in our <strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/04/oklahoma-high-school-combine-mvps/">positional MVP article</a></strong>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1096806"],"_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":"We've mentioned this a few times this week but Stillwater had an outstanding camp performance and the Pioneers are definitely not lacking talent as we start looking ahead to the 2024 season. One prospect on the defensive side of the ball that really impressed was [player_tooltip player_id='1096806' first='Caleb' last='Humble'] on the defensive line. Humble was productive last year and was on our radar but seeing him up close on Saturday raised his stock in our books. First off, Humble has size and then when it was time to test, he could absolutely fly. As far as the other guys at his position, he had some of the fastest times. And at that size, that is an absolute nightmare for opponents.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["268321"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Sapulpa 2025 defensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='268321' first='Isaac' last='Shelton'] has impressed us at multiple camps in the last 18 months. He has done a really good job during that time of improving and polishing his game so that each time we've seen him, he looks better than the last time. Shelton is a name that might be flying under the radar right now but similar to Humble at Stillwater, this is a big spring and summer for him. Shelton can be an absolute nightmare for opponents coming off the edge. He showcased that several times during the competition part of the camp. He used a variety of moves to blow by his opponent and get into the backfield to cause problems.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["284115"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Edmond Santa Fe's [player_tooltip player_id='284115' first='Jae'Lin' last='Battle'] is one of the more intriguing prospects in the state's 2026 class. There is a lot of potential there and moving forward and Saturday was our first chance to see him play his natural position along the line of scrimmage. We had seen Battle in various 7v7 tournaments but he was in his element this weekend and his performance was not surprising. He was one of the more physically impressive athletes at his position and he had it all working for him. Size, speed and moves allowed him to terrorize his opponent. We think this will be a big spring and summer for Battle as more college coaches take a look at him in person.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1262594"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"After several defensive linemen we go over to the other side of the ball with our next standout from the trenches. Earlier this offseason, we heard about Shawnee 2026 offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='1262594' first='Ja'Qwon' last='Evans'] and were intrigued. After watching him in person on Saturday, we're bought in on him moving forward in the state's 2026 class. First off, Evans immediately looks the part and might have been the most impressive offensive lineman from a physical standpoint. And when we were watching him go to work in one on ones, he used that size and strength to his advantage. He was controlling rep after rep and dictating a lot of the action during Saturday's camp.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["310131"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"One thing that has always stood out to us about Deer Creek 2025 offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='310131' first='Jenkins' last='Wells'] was the mean streak that he plays with on Friday nights. That has stood out to us when watching him on film and it definitely translated during the drills on Saturday afternoon. Wells absolutely attacked every opponent he went up against in one on ones. And while there were certain limits in what we could do without the pads on, Wells was always looking to finish his blocks and punish his opponent. Wells is an interior lineman that has some promise moving forward. He's going to be a player that immediately helps the program he goes to at the next leve.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["473952"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"We were fired up to see that Booker T Washington 2027 defensive lineman Jospeh Graves would be attending the camp. It's still very early, but Graves has already emerged as one of the top prospects at his position and in his class. He is an absolute monster on the defensive line and he's going to be a nightmare to block for the next three seasons and beyond. Graves is your prototypical interior defensive lineman but we were pleasantly surprised with one element of his game. Speed. Graves was one of the bigger prospects along the defensive line but you couldn't tell because he has quick feet and fast hands and he was able to fly into the backfield.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["660345"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Owasso 2025 defensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='660345' first='Reece' last='Satterwhite'] came back to our camp after earning MVP honors along the defensive line back in January. And once again, Satterwhite was right there at the top as arguably the most dominant defensive lineman in attendance. We got to watch him go to work in one on ones on Saturday and he impressed us again. And it's the variety of moves that Satterwhite has and executes at such a high level that impresses us. He can beat opponents with speed or power and both were on full display. Something else that really stood out was his ability to bend underneath a tackle and get around with ease without sacrificing any speed.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66326c48c8dd2"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
