Winter Exposure Showcase OL/DL MVPs & Top Performers

<p>Over 60 athletes from multiple states made their way to The Highlands Sports Complex in Triadelphia, WV on Sunday Night to compete at the 2nd Annual Winter Exposure Showcase. While it was a smaller camp, there was no shortage of talent on display at each position group from freshmen to seniors. Here are some OL and DL top performers at the camp.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>OFFENSIVE LINE MVP</strong></h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">2026 Nitro OL [player_tooltip player_id='1129130' first='Jayden' last='Hill'] may have been the smallest of the OL/DL group at last night's camp but showed he belonged in a big way taking home OL MVP honors. Hill was an early season stock riser for us this season and a future rankee when we next update the rankings. He's in the 5'9 265 range which may cause you to overlook him, but Hill is a tenacious blocker with a strong lower body who can hold his own against a lot of bigger opposing players. Labeling him a bulldog would be an appropriate description of his game, and he's going to force some colleges to ignore his size concerns next year.</p>   <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Had a great time at the winter exposure camp!

Ranked as the #3 DL in the 2028 PA class and Top 20 overall, Mickens looks like a great Edge candidate in the rankings given his size and athleticism he displayed at the camp. He performed at a high level in OL-DL 1-on-1s and is a gifted natural pass rusher, especially for his age. Mickens has great bend and can get very low on bigger offensive linemen to dip under them. He's explosive off the line and too athletic for most tackles in 1-on-1s. Mickens even showed off in the skill 1-on-1s as well after swapping over from the big men side and wowed with his natural athleticism and ball skills making several highlight catches. He has a very high ceiling as a prospect and will undoubtedly be a future D1 prospect.</p>   <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">blessed to receive mvp honors at this years exposure showcase, thank you for the invite. <a href="https://twitter.com/BallHawkMedia1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BallHawkMedia1</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachGordon10?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachGordon10</a> and thank you for the coaching <a href="https://twitter.com/DariusStills56?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DariusStills56</a>. i had a great camp and cant wait to get to more this spring and summer🖤🥋 <a href="https://t.co/w5jfNiE3ui">pic.twitter.com/w5jfNiE3ui</a></p>— [player_tooltip player_id='445959' first='Jackson' last='Mickens'] (@JackMickens11) <a href="https://twitter.com/JackMickens11/status/1866085089094123541?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 9, 2024</a></blockquote>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>TOP PERFORMERS</strong></h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">I thought 2026 Fairmont Senior OL [player_tooltip player_id='1518161' first='Daeshaun' last='Floyd'] was right in the mix for OL MVP honors and was a standout among the small group at camp. Floyd, who is the younger brother of former WVU standouts and NFLers Darius and Dante Stills, has the size and potential to continue the family pedigree in college in some capacity. I won't put future NFL expectations on him as he's still coming into his own and developing, but Floyd can take his game up several notches before he graduates. He's still a raw prospect currently but you could see flashes of what he can become if he continues to put in the work. </p>     <p class="text-gray-700">We're very high on 2027 Morgantown OL [player_tooltip player_id='1111466' first='Konnor' last='Mott'] who first came on our radar at last year's Winter Exposure Showcase and has steadily progressed since then. He certainly didn't look like a freshman last year and the same can be said as a sophomore. Mott just wrapped up his first year starting on the varsity offensive line which says a lot about his ability at one of the state's biggest schools. He's a massive young athlete with a ton of potential and upside who is realizing that very early on in his high school career. Mott is going to be on D1 radars sooner rather than later if he continues this trajectory that he's on. </p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Another new name to my radar from Greencastle-Antrim (PA) was 2026 OL/DL [player_tooltip player_id='1577830' first='Grant' last='Pullen']. He's a massive athlete at 6'4 330 who is very raw but has potential as a prospect once he transforms his body and continues to get stronger and more athletic. Pullen's size will get him on college radars with still another season to go and he's yet to near his ceiling as a player. He has a lot of DL reps on Hudl, but his future in my eyes is at offensive guard and is a spot where he can have a high ceiling with some development and patience. </p>
