2029 Star Linemen Prospects From The Great State Of Tennessee

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>They call them the "trenches" for a reason, as being a lineman in football is an absolute war. If that is the case, then these five should receive medals, as they certainly stand head and shoulders above the rest, being the best of the best in the state of Tennessee. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1552138"],"_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-6756cc6fcff6d"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Big and Mean are the two best words to describe Appleton's play. Appleton is the definition of the type of guy you want in the trenches, a gritty player who clearly wants it more.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>As a blocker Appleton has a dominant power tool, able to manhandle opposing D linemen and force them wherever he wants them to go. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>As a D linemen Appleton shows off textbook tackling and technique.
