PRZVA Showcase, Highlighting the Top Offensive Linemen

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Safe to say our first player showcase for Prep Redzone Virginia was a huge success! With 82 players present from the class of 2025-2028, they got to showcase their skills in front of coaches from multiple colleges, and many more we will send the player info and reports out to. I spent the camp hanging out with the big boys on the offensive and defensive line. A great group of players came and competed, and myself and the coaches working with the group were impressed. In today's article I am featuring the six top offensive linemen. Normally we keep it to 5, but it was hard to pick between who we would leave out with these six so we honored all of them. Of the six, Liberty Christian's [player_tooltip player_id='1311655' first='Jaxon' last='Manning'] won the Offensive Line MVP honor with his dominance displayed in the 1v1 portion of the showcase. Beyond [player_tooltip player_id='1311655' first='Jaxon' last='Manning'], the remaining five linemen showed out and held their own in the 1v1s. They are listed in no particular order in the article.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Offensive Line MVP</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1311655"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1600333,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-67853a002d77d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jaxon has the athletic traits you are looking for in high level offensive linemen. He can bend, has loose hips and quick step and is explosive in his pass pro punch. Whether it was a Jump Set or a Vertical Set, he dominated the competition, engaging quickly with a powerful and well-timed punch. From there, he can mirror the pass rusher with keeping a grip on him and using his quick feet to move laterally. He tested very well in the initial testing portion of the camp supporting his athleticism he showed in the offensive line drills and 1v1s. In high school, he can play all five positions. Projects to be an interior lineman in college with his current size, but very well could play tackle if he continues to grow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19610649/Jaxon-Manning" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/Jaxon_Manning_" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top Performers</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1180950"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1600336,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-67853a002d7f5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">LCA's other sophomore guard came and also held his own. The interior lineman excelled in 1v1s. He is a gritty player in the trenches who has a mindset as an enforcer on the field. He can play both Guard and Center at the next level and has the strength to prevent the pocket form collapsing in his pass pro. On the field, he is a run blocking mauler. Bright future ahead for Brady.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15756835/Brady-Collins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/BradyCollins_90" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1311644"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1600337,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-67853a002d866"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A versatile lineman who impressed me with his quickness at his size. His ability to anchor himself and play stronger than the competition stood out the most in his 1v1 reps. Also plays defensive line where we currently have him ranked. Greatly impressed by his work at the showcase and is a name schools need to be paying attention to moving forward. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19643107/Jamaree-Horton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/jamaree_horton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297780"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1600338,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-67853a002d8bb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Out of St. Anne's Belfield, Tyson had himself a good day. He has the size to play Tackle. He was one we really noticed when it came to the 1v1s. He will be a dependable player for St. Anne's offensive line. On film, you see him engaging defenders quickly off the ball and driving them. We were really impressed with Tyson and looking forward to his development heading into his senior season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16333563/Tyson-Boyd" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/TysonkBoyd" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1593208"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1600339,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-67853a002d90a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jedidiah was one we noticed from the start of the individual drills showing off his explosiveness and quickness off the ball. He continued with good reps in the 1v1s prompting us to put in him the top performing offensive lineman. Showed good technique in his pass pro and won many of his matchups. Only a sophomore and one we will be keeping an eye on in the coming seasons. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19586980/jedidiah-matautia" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/JED_MATAUTIA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["853067"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1600551,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-67855e4d5e992"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A 6'6" 280lbs Tight End showed he belongs with the offensive linemen and proved that he can be an effective blocker. He has an elite frame and moves well for his size. I watch his <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17735200/6745e1bf35352caea588a2d5" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">season highlights</a>, and I don't question his ability to play Tight End and he will stay there in our rankings, but I would not be shocked if colleges want him at offensive tackle. He was one we could not leave off the the top performers and someone that you want to consider in recruitment.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17735200/Aidan-Woods" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/AidanWoodsy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Click&nbsp;<a href="https://prepredzone.com/prospect-index/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>&nbsp;to claim your Prep Redzone Prospect Index profile.<br>Follow me on Twitter&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/GoLions1934" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@GoLions1934</a>&nbsp;for further content |&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/PrepRedzoneVA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@PrepRedzoneVA</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/PrepRedzone" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@PrepRedzone</a>&nbsp;| Virginia Scouts&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/carljfred" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@carljfred</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;</em><a href="https://x.com/EdOBrienCFB" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>@EdOBrienCFB</em></a><em>&nbsp;</em>|&nbsp;<em>View my previous Prep Redzone articles&nbsp;<a href="https://prepredzone.com/author/cole-laing-author/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
