Battle in the Trenches: Bruising OL from the Showcase

At the Stock Up Showcase, the battle of trenches pitted two fierce fronts against each other. We had some big grueling offensive linemen who attended. This group encompasses the next generation of offensive line talent in Colorado. Let's get into it.    Noyes is a monster for a freshman. Tied for 1st in height and wingspan. Noyes is exactly what you want from a young offensive lineman. Attentive, coachable, and a high motor. He has very good strength with very good hand placement and hand strength. He easily controls and steers defenders. At his taller height, it's impressive how low he gets. Noyes overpowers the defensive lineman and was in a bruising battle all day. He has a good quickness out of his stance, and good acceleration to move around easily. He's an athletic lineman. Very good anchor, and uses his arms to swat the DL's arms. Noyes is an exciting young player, who will be a key cog at Cherry Creek's offense for years to come.   HT: 6'6.5 WT: 292.1 Wing Span: 78 ½” 40 YD: 5.97 Shuttle: 5.43 Broad Jump: 7'7 L-Drill: 9     Winning MVP out of the offensive line, the young Roper continued to solidify why he's one of the up-and-coming linemen coming out of Colorado. Roper was 2nd in the shuttle, wingspan, and tied for second with the L-drill. Roper uses his very good strength to overpower the defensive line. Very good quickness out of his stance. Roper uses his elite hand placement and very good and strength to control the DL. Good lateral agility, matches the footwork of the defensive line. He has a powerful anchor, not able to get knocked off his feet. This kid should be getting more attention as the years go by and more people realize his potential. He's a crucial building block for Regis Jesuit's future, and I can't wait to see what is in store for him.   HT: 6'4.5 WT: 291.8 Wing Span: 76 ½” 40 YD: 5.55 Shuttle: 5.09 Broad Jump: 7'2 L-Drill: 8     Skewes came up on my radar last season when he produced over 20 sacks as defensive end. As a full-time tackle, he brings a rare mixture of athleticism and power. Skewes led all offensive lineman in 40-yard time, shuttle, weight. T-1st with [player_tooltip player_id='983424' first='Ashton' last='Noyes'] in height and wing span. Very good quickness out of his stance. Very good lateral agility. At Skewes's large size its tougher to get a pad level lower than the defensive end. That isn't a problem for Tripp, as he uses that in combination with very good hand placement and elite hand placement. Elite strength as well. Locks up the defensive end, not letting them move from his grasp. I'm continued to be impressed with Skewes, and I see a ton of P4 offers in his future.   HT: 6'6.5 WT: 296.7 Wing Span: 78 ½” 40 YD: 5.34 Shuttle: 4.82 Broad Jump: 8'3 L-Drill: 8     Bollig led all offensive linemen in the L-drill with 9. He used his good strength to wrap up the defensive lineman during the 1 on 1 drills. Bollig used his very good hand placement, and good hand strength. This allowed him to control and steer the defender. One thing that impressed me was his tenacity and competitive toughness. When Bollig got beat by a defensive lineman, he came back the next snap and dominated. He used a good low pad level to out leverage the defender. Bollig continued to show why he's a crucial member of the Severance offensive line, and I'm excited to see how he continues next season.   HT: 6'1.5 WT: 261.1 Wing Span: 73 ½”40 YD: 6.44 Shuttle: 5.59 Broad Jump: 6'5 L-Drill:9     Harr's tenacity and very good competitive toughness showed throughout the day. Harr was very attentive and asked for tips during the offensive line coaching sessions. He has very good lateral agility, and good strength. As the center, he was the glue for the line. Harr helped ensure everyone was on the same page. He uses good hand strength and very good hand placement to move the defensive line around. Due to his size, he was going up against larger opponents. That never stopped Harr as he gave it his all, and continued to win battles. Great job by the junior, and I'm excited to see more from him next season.
