Their class of 2025's guy is [player_tooltip player_id='1301811' first='Luke' last='Testa'], a defensive lineman. Testa can get home on a very good bull rush and, at his absolute best moments, can fling people around and send them flying. An interior lineman, Testa has shown the requisite strength and size to occupy the middle and not get too displaced. When asked to slant, he has a quick first step. This is consistent with how he moves with urgency when executing other line stunts, too. Lastly, Testa keeps his gap-arm free and will squeeze, taking on blockers with authority.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16347049/66eef6d55c583c944d758519' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67d463161bfd1"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1556401"],"_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-67d4623fdb4b0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If you are looking for a defensive line prospect with a Division-1 get off, <a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/onjae-williams/">On'jae&nbsp;</a>Williams has just that.

Although he is a two-way lineman, I happen to like him better as an offensive prospect. That said, he is awfully good on defense, too. We see that he loads his arms as he prepares to deliver a blow to the sternum of his assignment and also runs through contact when pulling. Lagemann's bully mentality really showcases itself as he makes it a point to finish his blocks. A few closing points: Lagemann is probably faster than you would expect, uses the snap count to his advantage, and plays with a motor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No need for a 9 minute film; 4i type player that bullies smaller opponents; comes off the edge, has a good get off and speed, but need so flip hips; loads arms when blocking; runs through contact when pulling, finishes his blocks; weaponizes the s nap count and gets off the ball very well - both sides of it; has speed to work around opponents at his Group size - want to see how he would do against better opposition; interesting prospect, like him on defense a lot; has a motor and keeps coming; faster than you would expect</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16430164/674f453037384643752fc28f' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67d463161c064"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1608155"],"_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-67d4623fdb546"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I am not sure how [player_tooltip player_id='1608155' first='Phoenix-Orion' last='DiCosmo'] ended up in North Jersey, but the native Oregonian added to an embarrassment of defensive line riches for Bergen Catholic last fall. Typically a 3-tech, DiCosmo gets off the ball extremely quickly and as a result is difficult to block back on. An important trait of any lineman, we see DiCosmo's body com out-and-up, while he also fires out of his hips. As a spiller, DiCosmo takes on trap blocks with the correct shoulder when left unblocked and also working to train and separate from head-on blockers. When all else fails, DiCosmo can rest on his laurels of speed and quickness to make plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe

The fun part of being involved with state rankings is that I have the chance to come across prospects that I think are total gems. The best part is that I get to celebrate those prospects, write about them, and – hopefully – deliver some deserving attention their way.
