The kid looks like he was born to play as an offensive lineman, with his size (6'6 inches tall), strength, and athleticism. He has a great combination of all three. He has excellent technique and does a nice job firing off the ball. He moves well and does an excellent job pulling and blocking different defenders. Kalis deserves the distinction as the top offensive lineman in the 2027 class and is getting recruited by a ton of the top programs in the country. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/Jimmy_Kalis/status/1845868541506920856">https://twitter.com/Jimmy_Kalis/status/1845868541506920856</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["916215"],"_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-670c516003627"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='916215' first='Jon' last='Sassic'] is a talented offensive lineman for Pittsburgh Central Catholic. He is playing guard for them this year, but he could play as an offensive tackle as well. He does a good job of firing off the ball and blocking defensive players. He shows good strength at the point of the attack and moves his feet well. Then, he drives defenders off the ball well in the run game. Sassic is a good player who should continue to get better this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1398249"],"_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-670c5160036bf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1398249' first='Ryan' last='Robbins'] is a good offensive lineman who is still developing as a player for Upper St. Clair. Watching his film, he shows good size and the ability to move as an offensive lineman. He is still learning how to play the position, but he shows a good talent for the position and just needs to learn and grow as a player. Robbins film is mostly from Junior Varsity, but he shows real promise. You do not see many people move like him with his size and strength, and with time, he should only get better.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1180685"],"_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-670c516003706"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1180685' first='Charles' last='Butler'] is playing offensive tackle for Bishop Canevin as a Sophomore, which speaks volumes about him as a player.

He shows good strength as well by pushing defenders off the ball as a run blocker. Felton has a lot of potential as an offensive tackle and should only improve going forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
