He has a quick first step, an excellent base, and terrific technique. Keele is light on his feet, showcases good lateral quickness, is an exceptional pulling guard, and excels in the screen game. He easily gets to the second level and is a mauler who drives his defender back and seeks additional contact in run blocking. Keele is a physical athlete who showcases excellent pass-blocking skills and footwork allows him to keep his man in front of him and he possesses the strength to keep bull rushers from advancing on him. He is an excellent interior lineman who is a standout against some of the best defensive linemen with the OFFA Academy training program and off-season events in the state. Keele is a power-four-level starter and needs to be recruited as such.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1638748"],"_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-67e04a4b7d54f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Matthews has a good frame for an interior lineman and should be able to tack on an additional 10-15 lbs. He showcases good footwork and active hands. Matthews is light on his feet and works in the pulling and screen game and will effectively get to the second level. He has a good base and uses his leverage to maintain his position and his footwork to keep rushers in front of him and not overreach and get out of position. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1563979"],"_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-67e04a4b7d59b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Knighton has an excellent frame and size who will only grow and get stronger in his frame. He is a versatile lineman who will likely be used on the interior and has extensive playing time at Center, but would not be out of place if moved to Guard and he showcases the necessary length and quickness to be a Tackle. Knighton shows good strength and physicality while possessing quick hands and good footwork. He easily pulls and gets to the second level and showcases his physical nature as he drives his defender back and seeks additional contact. Knighton has a huge ceiling and should get D1 offers and has the potential to be an elite interior lineman for the 28 class in the state of Utah.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1233630"],"_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-67e04a4b7d5dd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jacobson has good size and frame and will continue to grow and add to it. He's a versatile lineman who can work inside and outside. Jacobson has good footwork and a solid base. He uses his footwork to keep defenders in front of him and it's that footwork that allows him to keep good leverage with quicker defenders and his size keeps stronger bull rushers from advancing. Jacobson will pull and he'll enforce his physicality when doing so and can get to the second level. I like him as an interior offensive lineman but he can work anywhere along the line. He's a player that should get looked at regionally in recruiting. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1210163"],"_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-67e04a4b7d61a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Noa is an interior lineman with good physicality and leverage to his game. He shows good strength and excels in run blocking. Noa has a high upside for the 2028 class and will only get stronger and hone his craft in the upcoming years. He has a good base and will strengthen the interior of the line and occupies good space versus other defensive tackles. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Those were five offensive linemen that you need to know about as they'll be impactful for the upcoming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
