He can play guard and tackle on offense and has experience on the left and right sides. Faircloth's athletic prowess was apparent when he played some H-Back on offense and even linebacker on defense. He's a big ball of clay that colleges can mold into a future D1 starter and has the needed size and athleticism to get there. Faircloth is a strong and powerful athlete who has been dominant at times this season for the Eagles. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14802040/67016c659821035ce78d66a3' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6715bb3081161"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["908151"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6715bb30811bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">2025 George Washington OL [player_tooltip player_id='908151' first='Brayden' last='Lude'] has been a site favorite for a while now and is playing the best ball of his career as a senior. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The biggest trait that he's improved over the years is size as he still has plenty of work to do in that aspect but has done a great job to date working towards that goal. Lude is much bigger and stronger than in his younger years and has maintained the high-level athleticism he has for a big-man prospect. He has the best footwork in the 2025 OL class and won't often be beaten in 1-on-1 blocks. Lude is a confident player who plays with a mean streak and is finishing blocks in the running game to pair with his impressive pass-pro ability. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14008676/670a69b0a52ed52f03a73135' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6715bb30811e3"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["908618"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6715bb3081221"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">2025 James Monroe OL [player_tooltip player_id='908618' first='Brady' last='Baker'] continues to be one of the most underrated players in the state and is still waiting on his first scholarship offer this calendar year according to his X account. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He may get overlooked at the small school level, but Baker has been impressive since his freshman year and has only gotten better over the years. Baker is a dominant run blocker with strong hands and consistently drives defenders off the ball. He has the athleticism to play left tackle in high school but likely projects to guard in college where he has a very high ceiling for that position. Baker has D1 potential in our eyes and will be a steal at the D2 level if he ends up there with potential to be a "franchise" player in college. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16226400/67114bb90946407610168bfa' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6715bb3081241"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["908607"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6715bb308129a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The most improved player in the state from his freshman to senior year might be 2025 Hurricane OL [player_tooltip player_id='908607' first='Drake' last='Lanham'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>His progression has been fun to watch through the years going from a mainly defensive line prospect to growing into a D1 OL prospect. The Marshall commit has taken over at left tackle for the departed Da'Ron Parks this season and the Redskins haven't missed a beat. Lanham has helped pave the way for a dynamic rushing attack this season which has already posted over 2,100 yards and 27 touchdowns through seven games. He's gotten bigger and stronger during his junior and senior years and still has maintained his high level of athleticism for his size. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15957261/67071492f72281590081f897' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6716ad6780be9"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["370776"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6715bb30812da"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another 2025 offensive lineman who has progressed tremendously throughout his high school career is Martinsburg's [player_tooltip player_id='370776' first='Brady' last='Breeden'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Breeden has been an interesting story to follow and has done a great job developing and transforming his body to its current form. He's a late bloomer who still hasn't neared his ceiling as a football player but is performing the best he has during his senior year. You won't miss his 6'6 290 body when scouting the Bulldogs, and Breeden is a moldable athlete who can take his name up a few more notches in college. He received a D2 offer from Cal (PA) during the summer but is still under the radar in our eyes and is deserving of more offers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16550286/6703e9370d3b156dae3d66b8' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6715bb30812f9"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
