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>There is something about offensive linemen that are able to bend and get low that just excite me. That is probably why I took time to write a few lines about [player_tooltip player_id='805814' first='Declan' last='Miller']. Miller showed that he can bend well in his stance without relinquishing much speed as he moves. Additionally, when pass setting he did a nice job of neutralizing his matchup by playing him tight, chest-to-chest.... [player_tooltip player_id='1215185' first='Kallen' last='Kennedy'] also was a prospect that was able to bend well - very well that is. In my opinion, Kennedy was perhaps the most pliable offensive lineman in attendance. I imagine that this translates well when he wears pads.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For as much bend as Kennedy has, he was only out-done by [player_tooltip player_id='1105232' first='Nicholas' last='Danieli']. Danieli, in my opinion, surpassed <em>good</em> pad level and had <em>great </em>pad level. Furthermore, he demonstrated a good feel of his matchup, mirroring him well and thwarting any-and-ever attempt to cross face or get around him. I think this ability to feel his matchup's moves is aided by that bend, which allows him to play with superior leverage.... One last offensive lineman with incredible prowess was Octavtius White out of Canarsie. White had extremely strong hands and feet. As he took his power and kick steps alike, you could both <em>hear </em>and <em>feel </em>his feet through the ground. Further, White seems to have an understanding of his body and how to use it, often winning by position and weaponizing his long frame.</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-defensive-back-part-i/">Scout's Notes: Defensive Backs, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/12/stock-up-showcase-positional-notes-defensive-linemen-part-i/">Scout's Notes: Defensive Linemen, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/12/stock-up-showcase-positional-notes-linebackers/">Scout's Notes: Linebackers, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/12/stock-up-showcase-positional-notes-linebackers-part-ii/">Scout's Notes: Linebackers, Part II</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/12/stock-up-showcase-positional-notes-offensive-linemen-part-i/">Scout's Notes: Offensive Linemen, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/12/stock-up-showcase-positional-notes-quarterbacks/">Scout's Notes: Quarterbacks</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/12/stock-up-showcase-positional-notes-receivers-part-i/">Scout's Notes: Wide Receivers, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/12/stock-up-showcase-positional-notes-wide-receivers-part-ii/">Scout's Notes: Wide Receivers, Part II</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
