Standing at 6'6u0022 and weighing 295 pounds, Smith is a formidable offensive guard at the high school level, exhibiting outstanding mobility in the run game and proficiency in pass protection. Predominantly involved in a gap scheme run game, Smith excels as a pulling guard, seamlessly switching between left and right guard positions when needed. His nimbleness as a puller, moving ahead of the running back and engaging defensive linemen at the right angles, allows him to open substantial holes for his running back. In pass protection, his robustness enables him to stand firm and anchor his position, effectively occupying space in the interior of the offensive line. Smith's agility indicates he could also thrive in a zone run scheme, and his build suggests potential for a future as an offensive tackle.

Notably, he is the top-ranked player who isn't a newcomer to our rankings, boasting exceptional length and an impressive frame for his class. Standing at 6'5u0022 with an expansive wingspan, Fenelon demonstrates an ability to win on the edge through his athletic prowess. While he continues to grow and build strength, his ability to disengage from blocks using his hands is evident, along with a natural power in his bull rush technique. Fenelon's potential is sky-high, given his agility and physical tools, which should make him get an abundance of NCAA Division One offers as one of the best defensive prospects in Canada.rnrnu003c/divu003ernu003cdivu003eCheck Out [player_tooltip player_id='881417' first='Danley' last='Fenelon']'s HUDL:u003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2HjEMPu0022u003ehttp://www.hudl.com/v/2HjEMPu003c/au003eu003c/divu003ernu003cdiv class=u0022block-core/paragraphu0022u003eu003c/divu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-663bf46f2bac4"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1235642"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1235642' first='Dejan' last='Guzina'], the third-ranked player in Ontario and thirteenth in Canada for the class of 2025, is a formidable offensive line prospect. At 6'7″ and 345 pounds, Dejan excels in the run game, consistently creating significant holes for his running back. His primary strength lies in a zone run scheme, where his remarkable mobility for his size shines, and he also performs well in gap scheme runs, adeptly being able to move to the second level. In pass protection, Dejan's lateral movement stands out for someone of his stature. However, adopting a more vertical stance in his pass set could provide a firmer base, as his current horizontal approach can lead to overextension, giving defensive ends an opportunity to bypass him. As the premier offensive lineman in Western Canada last season and currently with Football North, Dejan's physical abilities and game tape strongly advocate for multiple Division One Power Four offers as he possess the biggest upside of any player in Canada.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-663d529cf1a1f"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["892338"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='892338' first='Owen' last='Lock'], the fourth-ranked player in Ontario, is hailed as the top linebacker prospect in Canada for the class of 2025. Playing primarily in the MLB position, Lock not only possesses the physical attributes to excel as an MLB but also demonstrates remarkable effectiveness in run plays as he shoots downhill to make tackles near the line of scrimmage. His strength allows him to shed blocks easily, and his rapid recognition of run/pass plays allows him to always be in the right spots quickly. Additionally, Lock has proven to be a formidable blitzer. While his tape doesn't show extensive man coverage, he adeptly reads the screen game and exhibits the ability to traverse the field sideline to sideline, often staying ahead of the play.

At 6'0u0022, his standout feature is his athleticism, which enables him to gain yards after the catch exceptionally well. He can either outmaneuver a defender with his agile footwork or use his sneaky strength despite his 170-pound frame. Kymarri's ability to stop to get in and out of breaks abruptly is remarkable; coupled with his speed, he becomes a wide receiver capable of wearing down any secondary. With the ball in his hands, it often requires multiple defenders to take him down, as his balance and sturdy build fend off tackles, demonstrating his potential for yards after the catch.
