Must-See O-Linemen: Prospects with Film that Popped, Part II

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>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.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Without further adieu, here are a batch of prospects within the position mentioned in the title that deserve a good look by all.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1264834"],"_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-67d45363dff44"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A prospect that I saw compete live, in-person about a year ago at the Trenchlab Gauntlet competition, [player_tooltip player_id='1264834' first='Matt' last='Kaelble'] has been on my radar since then and had a great senior season. As an offensive tackle, Kaelble knows when to turn his pass set into a drive block to keep the pocket clean. I was pleasantly surprised how he was able to maintain his bend as he back pedaled in his pass set too. Additionally, Kaelble varies his pass protection technique as I noticed him apply the clamp technique. His foot speed remains an asset as we see him effectively slide protect too. In terms of a run blocker, Kaelble will level and flatted defenders who dip and try to get low. Lastly, I noticed his strength as he was able to kill a rip move.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16226745/6725920f293ffa7899fe0cbc' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67d45363e0114"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1296011"],"_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-67d45363e0169"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A quality lineman from Don Bosco was [player_tooltip player_id='1296011' first='Pedro' last='Valdes']. Valdes did an exceptional job working to the second level. Aside from his ability to quickly climb to linebacker depth, what was most impressive was how he dealt with screaming linebackers buzzing around. Similarly, Valdes is awfully physical with down linemen. Part of how he does this is maintaining a good base, taking short, choppy steps, and anchoring when he faces a power rush. Lastly, there seems to be no hand fighting technique that Valdes is versed in: punching and recoiling, hand fighting, and refitting. Valdes technically-advanced tactician along the trenches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16644098/672cd126f51e7100e22e1985' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67d45363e018f"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1262457"],"_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-67d45363e01d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A second prospect from Egg Harbor Township makes the list today. [player_tooltip player_id='1262457' first='Sam' last='Cicchino'] is the kind of prospect that likes to run around and flatten you. With a full head of steam, watch out for him as a puller. When blocking head-on, he puts forth a great effort and is a worker that plays whistle-to-whistle. Finally, Cicchino does a nice job getting horizontal displacement on down-linemen. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16226738/6725b407df42325df77a6a55' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67d45363e01f2"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1210997"],"_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-67d45363e022f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">East Orange had a great, somewhat unexpected run this season. Running behind [player_tooltip player_id='1210997' first='Shaheem' last='Dezonie'] likely had something to do with that. For someone his size, I thought Dezonie moved really well in the open field, particularly straight ahead. Like an 18-wheeler, with a full speed ahead defenders best get low. I like how he also loads his hands back before attacking his assignment. Dezonie is a strong run blocker due to a well-maintained base on his drive blocks. Additionally, he is big enough to seal block with his body alone. As you might expect, double teams come easy as Dezonie and his adjacent teammate get a great deal of displacement. Lastly, Dezonie has an attitude to him where he keeps coming and looking for additional work.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"https://share.qwikcut.com/670715976a4b93a2c0eccc0b/Shaheem%20Dezonie%20-%202026%20OL%2FDL%20-%20East%20Orange%20Campus%20High%20School%20Mid-Season%20Highlights","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67d45363e024e"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1210994"],"_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-67d45363e0289"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Teammates seem to be the theme of the day, as [player_tooltip player_id='1210994' first='Wazyn' last='King'] also suited up for the Jaguars last fall. King played interior line and was very fast when asked to get around to the perimeter. I like how he really took the fight into the chest of his opponents. He does this with an authoritarian attitude, hounding you until the play ends or you are in the ground - whichever happens first. A two-way player, King made his impact on both sides of the ball, although I personally like him better as an offensive prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl
