All 22: Trench Monster Spotlight

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Steven Pickard Jr. | OL | 2026 | IMG | @StevenPickard_2</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pickard looked like a seasoned vet out there. At 6-5, 313 pounds, he moves far better than most guys his size. He took home OL MVP honors, and it was well-deserved—technically sound, fluid footwork, and violent hands in pass pro. You can tell he's been putting in the work consistently. Syracuse is getting a polished lineman with upside to anchor their front.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>RJ Alphonse | DE/OLB | 2026 | Chaminade-Madonna | @alphonse_rj</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alphonse is a problem off the edge. You could see it in the way he exploded off the line during every rep. Long frame with 35-inch arms, 10-inch mitts, and he's filled out since the fall. Took home DL MVP for good reason—his quickness and closing speed were nearly unblockable. A South Florida top-tier pass rusher.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1143144' first='Riley' last='Cooper'] | OL/DL | 2026 | Auburndale | @Rileyfrmpolk</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cooper brought the nastiness you love in a trench guy. Plays with that Polk County edge, and it shows every snap. He's powerful at the point of attack and showed good strength during 1-on-1s. Solid versatility for a big man. With more eyes on him, his stock could really take off.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1870900' first='George' last='Selvie III'] | OL/DL | 2028 | Sumner | @GS3washere</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>You can tell the game runs in the family. Selvie III—yes, the son of former USF/NFL standout George Selvie—flashed big-time potential. At 6-4, 265, he already has the size and instincts to be ahead of the curve for 2028. Showed good bend, balance, and the ability to anchor during reps. Definitely a name to stash for the future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Mujahid Jefferson | DL | 2026 | Evans | @407MJ</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jefferson brought the heat every snap. At 6-3, 285, he's got violent hands and a powerful base—can bench over 330. Quick off the ball and consistently pushed the pocket. What stood out most was his motor and ability to reset his hands mid-rep. Power 5 traits. Coaches should be all over this one.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Terrence Thompson | DE | 2026 | Seminole | @tthompsonjr18</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thompson's tape already stood out, but seeing him live confirmed it. He's twitchy, smart, and plays with a downhill, physical style. Used his hands well to disengage and has the frame to bulk up even more. Whether he's rushing the passer or playing the run, he knows how to get to the ball in a hurry.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
