The Flyers are known for producing massive and talented offensive linemen, and Donley is no exception. With elite size and strength, he has the tools to be a force up front. As he continues to develop, he'll be a key piece in East St. Louis' powerful offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1087387"],"_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-67b39f0b259dd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1087387' first='Wyatt' last='VanBoening']</strong>, a 6'6”, 265-pound offensive lineman from Carmel Catholic High School, has the size and athleticism to be a force in the trenches. As a freshman, he gained valuable experience starting on the JV level, showcasing his potential early in his high school career. His towering 6'6” frame, combined with his long levers, gives him a natural advantage in controlling defenders at the line of scrimmage. With continued development, VanBoening has the tools to become a dominant presence on the offensive line for years to come.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1289319"],"_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-67b39f0b25a21"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">6'4”, 270-pound <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1289319' first='Stephen' last='Caxton-Idowu'] </strong>from Carl Sandburg High School is an athletic and physical offensive tackle. He moves well in space, making him effective in both pass protection and run blocking. His ability to climb to the second level allows him to take on linebackers and extend plays. With his size and mobility, he has the tools to dominate in the trenches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
