[player_tooltip player_id='224739' first='Bo' last='Wolford'] is the next player college coaches should keep on their radar. Being 6'2 265, Bo shows the size and strength to play at the next level. His ability to finish blocks at a high level is something every offensive line coach looks for in a prospect. However, since Belfry is a Wing-T offense, Bo must focus his offseason work on pass protection for the next level.      Zackary Wampier is an interior OL prospect out of Christian Academy of Louisville, and he is a big part of this program's success. His ability to displace defenders shows up in his highlights. He plays with good pad level and hand placement, but his fundamentals do not allow him to get beat very often. In pass protection, he does a good job of passing off twists and flattening his defender. He is a kid who will have a big summer, and many schools will be asking about him.

Gavin is the definition of a small school kid. Magoffin County HS has less than 600 kids in their school. While the number of student-athletes might be smaller, there are still talented kids. Gavin is a kid who has caught the eye of some college coaches already as he has gone on college visits. He shows skills that are desired at the college level. He will need to improve his foot speed and train pass protection this offseason. Gavin is a great student too, with over a 4.0 GPA and 24 on the ACT there are not many schools in the country that will not be able to recruit him.      While Sawyer might not pass the eye test for some college coaches, he packs a heavy punch. He is an effective puller and identifies blitzes at the guard position to allow his quarterback plenty of time to read the defense. His ability to change directions and transfer force through his defenders is a trait that will translate at any level of football. Sawyer is a hidden gem in the state of Kentucky and should be on the radar of college coaches ASAP.      Holden is an athletic, lengthy tackle from Lexington Christian. His ability to displace defensive linemen on double teams while also tracking linebackers at the second level is a skill set, not many linemen have. He plays with the mindset to finish blocks and create holes for his running backs. Holden will need to focus on his pad level to take his game to the next level next fall, but his skill set will be desired by a lot of college coaches.
