TrenchWare 5v5 || Trenches Elite Standouts "Powerline 5"

Durham, NC – Some of the country's biggest and brightest stars gathered in the "Bull City" on Sunday afternoon for "Trenchware 2," a lineman 1v1 competition hosted by Trenches Elite. This lineman 1v1 competition, often referred to as 5v5, is similar to the traditional 7v7 format. What started as a simple skill development practice has now evolved into a powerful tool for athletes looking to enhance their skills and boost their athletic profiles. It's quickly become almost a mandatory event for those serious about their development in the sport.    Antwan dominated the majority of his reps with ease during the event. The 6'3" sophomore showcased impressive counter moves, quickness off the ball, and exceptional hand placement. McKoy has made significant strides since the last time I saw him, adding nearly 30 pounds since last season. With a strong offseason, McKoy could easily enter his junior year with some solid Power 4 offers on the table.     David is another 6'3", 250+ lb super sophomore from St. Paul's who had a strong showing at Trenchware. Britt displayed a great combination of footwork and strength, competing at a high level throughout the event. While David plays tackle for the Bulldawgs, I could definitely see him transitioning to a Power 4 guard at the next level.     Trevor was a pleasant surprise, standing close to 6'4" and just a freshman. Howard more than held his own throughout the event. The freshman from Rolesville already possesses elite footwork, especially for his age. If he continues to develop at this rate, the projections for Howard are through the roof.     Brady won every 1v1 matchup I covered, and it wasn't even close. The rising senior demonstrated a great combination of patience and power, effortlessly countering every move the defender threw at him. While Trenchware is a 1v1-based event, I'm confident that Matthews has the ability to pull and lead block as well. Brady is definitely a prospect on the rise at offensive guard.     The only athlete from South Carolina I had the chance to cover was Bryant, and he did not disappoint. Jaiden possesses elite strength and power that overwhelmed most of the competitors he faced. The sophomore from Irmo was able to run around and through tackles purely with his physical ability. With tremendous upside, I could see his recruitment really taking off next season.
