PRZ WV Combine Top OL Performers & Best of the Rest

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over 100 prospects competed and battled through tough weather conditions at the PRZ WV Combine on Saturday with many standouts making themselves known. Here are the offensive linemen who stood out and were selected as Top Performers by the college coaches in attendance coaching them up along with the best of the rest who deserved a mention too!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>MVP</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["997461"],"_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":"2025 Linsly OL [player_tooltip player_id='997461' first='Brock' last='Kuttie'] is what we call in the football business a u0022Grown *** Manu0022. The 6'5 big man rightfully earned OL MVP honors at the Combine this past Saturday and looked like a prototypical next-level offensive tackle prospect who will have plenty of options for where he wants to play in college. Kuttie is long and athletic which are the first two traits you look for in an OT prospect, but that wasn't what stood out the most about his performance. What we loved the most about his play during the event was his fire and competitiveness. Kuttie unleashed a side of him that left you with no doubts about his passion and desire to be the top lineman in attendance.rnrnThat's a trait you can't always see when only watching film, and it was great to see it come out during the Combine. You could really see it in the 1-on-1s segment and the final rep at the end of the camp with the Top Performers being matched against with each other.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://x.com/PrepRedzoneWV/status/1787250755172250110u0022u003eu003cstrongu003eCheck out this 1-on-1 rep!u003c/strongu003eu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6637ecaa8229c"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/KuttieBrock/status/1786927375201992781","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/KuttieBrock/status/1786927375201992781 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Top Performers</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["958274"],"_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":"2025 Wheeling Park OL [player_tooltip player_id='958274' first='Hunter' last='Means'] was a bit of an unknown coming into the Combine due to limited film available but quickly made himself known while on his way to earning an OL Top Performer spot. We had a good feeling that Means would show us a lot more at the event than we were able to see on film, and he answered our questions emphatically. His wrestling background helps him a ton on the football field, and Means was also able to show us some quality athleticism and good footwork to pair with his leverage ability and strength from his time on the mat.rnrnMeans opened a lot of eyes during the camp including ours and the college coaches in attendance.

The 2027 prospect not only doesn't have the appearance of a freshman, but he also didn't perform like one either. Arnicar earned an OL Top Performer spot among an offensive line group that posted some talented and older offensive linemen and showed us that he's going to be a serious prospect down the road if he continues this path of development.rnrnArnicar is a very big athlete for his age and doesn't lack the strength to match it at this stage of his career. He'll continue to make strides in his footwork and quickness, but the early foundation he's built gives him a great platform to build on over the next three years.rnrnu003cstrongu003eu003ca href=u0022https://x.com/PrepRedzoneWV/status/1787259782195286017u0022u003eCheck out this 1-on-1 rep!u003c/au003eu003c/strongu003ernrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1183506"],"_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":"2026 Jefferson OL [player_tooltip player_id='1183506' first='Silas' last='Speet'] battled hard during the Combine and earned himself a spot in the Top 5 OL Performers group.

Speet is built very well for a sophomore lineman with a frame to continue adding size to it. He did a nice job of brushing off a couple of tough reps against some very good defensive linemen in attendance and finished the camp strong which earned him recognition from the college coaches who were coaching him up.

The strength and power we saw on film on his junior highlight tape was more than apparent when seeing him live and in person at the camp. Wise is a very strong athlete with broad shoulders that makes him an ideal guard prospect for the next level and should have some college options by the time Signing Day comes around. Footwork and quickness were the two main traits we wanted to see from him at the Combine, and Wise was able to show us that he can move adequately for his size and isn't just a big body.rnrnWise was a big stock riser in our recent spring rankings update who now firmly sits inside of the Top 15 of 2025 offensive linemen.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://x.com/PrepRedzoneWV/status/1787255203214868928u0022u003eu003cstrongu003eCheck out this 1-on-1 rep!u003c/strongu003eu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1227638"],"_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":"2026 Jefferson OL [player_tooltip player_id='1227638' first='Kip' last='Waldeck'] was an undersized offensive line prospect that we liked a lot coming into the Combine and recently ranked during the spring update.

There isn't much bad weight on his 6'1 230 frame right now which is especially impressive given he's only a sophomore. Waldeck is a great leverage player who can consistently beat his man in leverage and has a good understanding of how to use his smaller size and power against bigger bodies.rnrnOnce he continues growing physically, Waldeck will likely be a riser in our rankings and may have earned himself a bump in the summer update based on what we saw in person.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1126457"],"_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":"We considered 2025 Shady Spring lineman [player_tooltip player_id='1126457' first='Jon' last='Cantley'] a defensive line prospect heading into the Combine, but he looked the part along the offensive line at the event.
