PRZVA Showcase, More Linemen who Impressed

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Continuing with my coverage of the first Prep Redzone Virginia player showcase, today I am bringing you some more names that impressed me at the event, but just missed out on Top Performer honors. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297610"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","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-678ac31a5f69f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">While he did not receive a top performer at the event, Jaiden is still one of the best offensive linemen in the state. Measured in at 6'4.5" and 280 lbs., he has a very good frame, and he holds his weight very well with room to keep adding mass. Had the best Broad Jump of the offensive linemen measuring at 8'5". Currently holds six Division 1 offers with the latest being <a href="https://x.com/_JaidenEdwards_/status/1880348904249782772" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Old Dominion</strong></a>. Watching his film, you notice his aggressiveness and desire to play physical and explosive at the point of attack. His athleticism shows on film as well. He is heavily used in Pull blocks from his Tackle position. Also plays defensive end in a 40-front defense and displaying the same physical and athletic traits there. There is a lot to like in Jaiden's game that showed up during the showcase as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/22973651/Jaiden-Edwards" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/_JaidenEdwards_" 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":["1601618"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","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-678ac31a5f73a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Watching the positional individual drills is where Damion caught my eye. A sophomore who is 6'1" and 266lbs, currently puts him at a solid size for an IOL at the next level. He was really honing in on the technique of the individual drills. I appreciated the drills the Offensive Line coach had the players rep as they focused on explosiveness, bend, hand placement, and leg drive. Tested in the middle of the OL group in the agility drills with his best event being the Shuttle drill with a 5.01 time. There is no film available on <em>Hudl </em>for Damion, yet his performance at the combine intrigues me to see what the future holds for him at St. Anne's-Belfield.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/22979240/damion-parham" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/damionparham57" 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":["1298381"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","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-678ac31a5f7a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Braylon was one prospect I was excited to see compete at the showcase. What impressed me most was how light on his feet he was. I did not hear his footsteps in the agility testing which I do not generally see in players his size. He is built with a very good frame for offensive linemen. Tested well in lateral movement with a 5.15 Shuttle drill. When I watch his film, I always come away with Braylon as one of those players who just knows how to win his reps. The showcase let me see up close his recovery ability where he could refit himself and anchor to win most of his reps. As he continues to develop his initial quickness and explosiveness out of his set to create better initial leverage and half-man relationships, Braylon will become an intriguing prospect for the next level, likely at a Guard position with his current height.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/18223323/Braylon-Trey-Lester" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/braylon_lester" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Thank you to <a href="https://twitter.com/GoLions1934?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GoLions1934</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/carljfred?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@carljfred</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/PrepRedzoneVA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepRedzoneVA</a> for an amazing camp this weekend! <a href="https://t.co/z2Ch2XlesD">pic.twitter.com/z2Ch2XlesD</a></p>&mdash; Braylon Lester (@braylon_lester) <a href="https://twitter.com/braylon_lester/status/1879213686633713978?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 14, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1591428"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","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-678ac31a5f80d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Left Tackle for Virginia High School also caught my eye. He moved well in the individual position drills, showing fluidity4674 and explosiveness. While it was without pads, he fit his blocks well with good bend in his knees, showing attention to detail. There is not much film available on Hudl, but I liked what I saw out of Anthony at the showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/18217082/anthony-galbreth" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Hudl</em></a> <a href="https://x.com/Ant051680335591" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>/ X</em></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1161603"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","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-678e8b6817ceb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jeremiah is a versatile Linebacker for Loudoun County and worked at defensive end at our showcase. He showed his quickness off the ball creating good upfield burst in the 1v1s. He displayed the ability to corner an Offensive Tackle and utilize an inside move to win reps. Last season, when he aligned as an Edge player, you see this same quickness. I very well could see him developing into a versatile Edge defender at the next level who will become a speed rusher and can also help in pass coverage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11829282/Jeremiah-Davis-Jr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/ShowtimeDavis11" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Had a great time competing at the PrepRedzone VA Showcase, stepping out of my usual linebacker role to work at defensive end.
