Below are personal scouting notes from the action I witnessed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scout's Notes: Offensive Linemen</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1284424' first='Dominic' last='Sellitto'] was one of a handful of 2025 prospects looking to get one last live, final audition in front of college coaches at the Stock Up Showcase. Sellitto proved to be a viable option along the interior at either guard or center. One bit of advice I would implore Sellitto to focus on his shifting his weight back some when pass setting. I thought I saw him leave forward some. If I saw that on film, I would coach my defensive linemen to look for it, snatch him down, and swim over.... [player_tooltip player_id='1287381' first='William' last='Pallay'] was a prospect that I was encouraged to see. What Pallay showed made me smile some, as it is not lost impart on today's offensive linemen. Pallay maintained a very good base throughout his reps. This base, maintained, allowed him to keep balance and move in any direction efficiently. Moreover, the fact that he shows he maintained that base means that he is not lazy and can bend some.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Perhaps the most physically gifted offensive lineman in attendance that afternoon was [player_tooltip player_id='1345036' first='Matthew' last='Benjamin']. Benjamin is blessed with long arm and legs. This length to, partly, to keep defenders at bay and away from his chest when pass rushing. Moreover, Benjamin also has quick feet, which combined with his long legs, allowed him to cutoff and beat his matchup to their spot - thus winning the rep by body positioning. Lastly, Benjamin also has a good base which allows him to move quickly in any direction.... We close out with a strong, powerful prospect in [player_tooltip player_id='1575725' first='Elijah' last='Graciani']. Graciani is well coached and he pushes and then recoils when pass setting. One rep that Graciani took I did not actually even have to <em>see. </em>In fact, I <em>heard </em>him take this rep. As his opponents threatened, Graciani bunched to keep him at bay. This punch, however, was loud with a capital L. To me, the punch sounded as if someone landed a 10-out-of-10 belly flop off of a 10-foot diving board.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">NJ Stock Up Showcase Tour Event Coverage</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/12/prznj-stock-up-showcase-4-offensive-prospects-im-pumped-to-see/">Event Preview: Offensive Prospects</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/12/prznj-stock-up-showcase-4-defensive-prospects-im-pumped-to-see/">Event Preview: Defensive Prospects</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/12/immediate-reaction-to-the-prep-redzone-njs-stock-up-showcase/">Immediate Reaction</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/12/skills-eye-test-college-ready-bodies-from-the-stock-up-showcase-2/">College-Ready Bodies: DB, LB, WR, TE</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/12/skills-eye-test-college-ready-bodies-from-the-stock-up-showcase/">College-Ready Bodies: OL, DL, QB, RB</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/12/stock-up-showcase-standout-40s-and-broad-jumps-2/">Top Combine Scores: 40-Yard Dash, Broad Jump</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/12/stock-up-showcase-standout-40s-and-broad-jumps/">Top Combine Scores: Pro Agility, L-Drill</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/12/stock-up-showcase-positional-notes-linebackers/">Scouts Notes: Linebackers, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/12/stock-up-showcase-positional-notes-receivers-part-i/">Scouts Notes: Wide Receivers, Part I</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
