It's time to shine a spotlight on some unranked prospects who may have been under the radar heading into the season but deserve notoriety at the halfway point of the season. Here are some unranked senior prospects to know at the midway point.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1126403"],"_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-6701e294435bd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Big 2025 Mingo Central OL [player_tooltip player_id='1126403' first='Gary' last='Pope'] is a notable unranked senior offensive lineman to know this season for the Miners and is an under-the-radar big man for colleges to know. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pope is a large athlete in the 6'3 300 range who plays left tackle for the Miners, but as we've said in the past, a move to guard at the next level could take his game to a new level. It's very difficult for opposing defenders to get around Pope when he stays in front of them as he's just too big and strong. Pope has quality feet for his size which you can see flashes of in his first four games tape and can continue to further utilize with more development. D2 and D3 programs should check Pope out this season as an underrated lineman with good size flying under the radar right now. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19854031/66f9de2c786b18cfc389c3a6' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67040411e239b"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1520345"],"_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-6701e29443600"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A new name to our 2025 OL radar this season is John Marshall's [player_tooltip player_id='1520345' first='Allick' last='Summers'] who has stepped up on a completely rebuilt Monarch offensive line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>John Marshall is starting five new offensive linemen this season and Summers has settled in at right tackle for the Monarchs and has done some good things at the midseason point. His most favorable trait right now is his length in the 6'4 265 range with long arms that he utilizes well. Summers is built well for his size with the frame to continue filling out and raising his ceiling further. He's shown quality upper-body strength on film and gets good arm extension to keep his man in front of him. Footwork is a work in progress but for his first season as a full-time starter, Summers has clear tools to work with that could potentially have a D2 program taking a flyer on him and a definite take for D3s. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18579190/66faa52634595dabb9023e24' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67040411e23e9"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1316698"],"_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-6701e29443681"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A small college prospect to know in Southern WV is 2025 Westside OL [player_tooltip player_id='1316698' first='Justin' last='Tolliver'] who has been a key piece to their strong offensive group this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tolliver is a very under-the-radar prospect right now who D3 programs should know. He may not have elite size at 6'0 230, but he can continue getting bigger in a college program. The plus side is that Tolliver packs a punch in his smaller frame which you can literally see on film with some violent hands and a strong punch. He's physical at the point of contact and can neutralize defenders on first touch. Tolliver is also a quality athlete and has shown good footwork on tape which is aided by being a more nimble size. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18086082/66ed47349b4596cc7c494982' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67040411e2423"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1161305"],"_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-6701e294436bd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1161305' first='Tucker' last='Sine'] has been a steady player for the Washington Patriots for multiple seasons and is putting together a strong senior season at the halfway point.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sine is a small college prospect that D3 programs should be making a priority as a potential future college starter.

He may be undersized right now but you wouldn't know it from watching his film as he plays with a clear edge and level of physicality that sneaks up on defenders. Miller anchors the Wheeling Park offensive line at center which is a good position for him as he's a quality athlete who can fire off the ball and get to his spot quickly. He can consistently get to the second level of the defense and is someone defenders don't want to be on the opposite end of when he has a full head of steam behind him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16523790/66f84faaa77e8e743039d78f' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67040411e24ac"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1111648"],"_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-6701e29443736"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">2025 Riverside OL/DL [player_tooltip player_id='1111648' first='Joshua' last='Cochran'] has been a player for the Warriors for multiple years now and is another D3 prospect who can provide a lot of value at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The best description for Cochran is that he's a bulldog, a shorter but stocky offensive lineman with impressive strength for his size. Cochran plays with great leverage due to those traits while getting under defenders and controlling them consistently. He also has very good short-area quickness which you can see on defense too. Cochran gets great push and will take his man 5-10 yards down the field at times. He's a fun player to watch who many people may not know but should receive some small college looks this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16514751/66fa9b45de1d0538721045c8' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67040411e24e0"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1227645"],"_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-6701e29443773"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">2025 Hurricane OL [player_tooltip player_id='1227645' first='Logan' last='French'] has done a nice job stepping into a starting role this season on the Redskins' offensive line and is playing himself into some small college offers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We got a good look at him this off-season at the PRZ WV Combine where he caught our eye and felt good about him heading into his senior year. French is continuing that momentum and putting some quality play on film at the midseason point of the season. He has decent size and can effectively pull from his right guard spot with quality quickness. French isn't going to do anything fancy and just does his job well as a gritty player.
