His footwork has improved and is performing well at left tackle in pass sets with a future guard body type. Wise is a very stout athlete with strong hands and upper body strength that allows him to consistently drive defenders off the line. He's a mauling run blocker and an underrated athlete who can shut down edge rushers and ends while also being able to get out in space and to the second level of the defense. Wise will be a future college star and likely a multi-year starter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16329208/66ec4bffe979c968463a5fd7' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6716aed66105d"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["908156"],"_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-6716aed66113e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='908156' first='Aiden' last='Lambert'] is one of the best-kept secrets in West Virginia and one of the best offensive linemen in the 2025 class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lambert hasn't posted any offers yet on his X account but is a no-doubt D2 prospect with D1 potential in our eyes. He's a massive athlete in the 6'5 315 range and has quality athleticism for his immense size. Lambert has solid footwork for how big he is and moves well for his size. He has very strong hands and a violent punch that can set defenders down, and Lambert also sets the edge at a high level and consistently turns and shields his man on outside runs. Lambert can also take out multiple defenders on a single play and has helped produce a nearly 2,000-yard rusher before the regular season has been completed. He's a must-offer for every in-state D2 program right now if they haven't offered him already. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16451469/67112061833c97432779cb58' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6716aed66119f"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["908154"],"_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-6716aed661211"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another massive 2025 offensive lineman to know is South Harrison's [player_tooltip player_id='908154' first='Luke' last='Given'] who is bouncing back during his senior year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Given missed all of his junior year due to injury and is steadily working his way back to his previous form that had D1 programs interested. He's listed as 6'8 240 now and has lost some size from his injury, but Given still has immense upside and potential as a prospect. Given is a good athlete for his size and can bend well. He plays with good leverage for how tall he is and has quality footwork for his size as well. Given fires off the ball in the Hawks' run-heavy offense that has seen significant success this season and gets great push. Colleges may be sleeping him due to missing last season, but Given has a lot to offer them after some time spent developing in their program. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16695501/67105eed693b989000563e01' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6716aed661243"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["832666"],"_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-6716aed6612a6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Colleges are finally beginning to see what we see in 2025 Spring Mills OL [player_tooltip player_id='832666' first='Brayden' last='Kirk'] as he picked up his first D2 offer from West Liberty last week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kirk anchors a talented and currently undefeated Spring Mills team from his center spot with the ability to play guard and tackle as well. He's quick off his snaps and can handle zero techs while getting his hands on them quickly. Kirk is a good athlete who can block down to the second level consistently in their offense. He's still adding size and getting stronger, but Kirk does a great job battling bigger defensive linemen, especially when they're lined up over the top of him. Kirk will pick up more D2 opportunities as the season wraps up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17984221/6706856d764bfebf5cd539db' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6716aed6612e9"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["938201"],"_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-6716aed66134e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A 2025 offensive lineman flying under the radar but needs more attention is Poca's [player_tooltip player_id='938201' first='Rome' last='Bragg'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bragg has 6'6 300 size that can't be taught and immediately should have him on D2 radars. He's still raw as a player but has been steadily improving since we first saw him as a sophomore. Bragg could slide inside to guard at the next level as a big interior lineman but his footwork has improved to date. He has the body type of a high-level college offensive lineman and can be developed in the other areas needed to reach his future potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16425661/67013ea2096ee3107bb3b7f2' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6716aed66137f"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
