Must-See D-Linemen: Prospects with Film that Popped, Part IV

<!-- 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":["1530051"],"_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-67d8da0f3a69c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If there was one prospect I wish I had the opportunity to cover more, it might just be [player_tooltip player_id='1530051' first='SaJani' last='Millwood']. Millwood has all the physical gifts to play just about any position on the football field and brings that physicality to his game. As an edge player, Millwood uses his body to blow up plays before they even get started. This, mixed with his speed and quickness to fly around the field, makes a lethal blend when you juxtapose these traits with his frame. Furthermore accenting his God-given gifts, Millwood was even asked to cover receivers some as well. In closing, Millwood plays like a bully while also having served as Weequahic's punter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"https://share.qwikcut.com/66fa1f4c4198c703c761c24d/Midseason%20%20","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67d8da0f3a8da"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1055395"],"_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-67d8da0f3a976"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1055395' first='Walter' last='Carter'] was a little difficult to identify himself on film as he does not highlight himself pre-snap on every clip. From the plays that I was able to determine where he was, we save a defensive lineman who absolutely works into people, leveraging his low center of gravity to his advantage, working up-and-under offensive lineman and winning the battle of leverage. From there, Carter does a great job of shedding blocks and pursuing. Part of what makes Carter's pursuit so strong is that it seemed to me that his second and third step were actually better than his first. This, however, does nto take away from Carter's tremendous get off. Furthermore, he can readjust his pursuit angles with ease and early in the process. Rather than playing his gap straight up, we see him act more like a pin ball that keeps bouncing around, fighting, and working to create disruption; I would categorize this description as as him being an active agent in the trenches. Although I really like Carter's game, thought he had good film, and is a tremendous high school talent, I have reservations about his outlook as a collegiate prospect due to his size - mainly how much weight he can gain at his height without taking away from what makes him special.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/11547993/674fb467d7231bf1f0ce86b1' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67d8da0f3a9af"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1524821"],"_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-67d8da0f3aa13"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mendham's [player_tooltip player_id='1524821' first='William' last='Wallace'] is a unique prospect in the sense that he is a 'tweener lineman that, at the next level, could probably play either interior or edge. Wallace currently played what looks like a 4i and did a great job attacking the hands of his offensive matchup. Something that separates great defensive lineman from poor ones, Wallace is not only able to get into the hip pocket of pulling guards, but also readjust his eyes to locate the ball and slow a ball carrier's feet. On the contrary, when he is unblocked not only does he get hands on, he will step, squeeze, and u-turn. When he is facing drive blocks, he works to get his hands on the man in front of him and play his gap. He is equally as proficient in pursuing the ball from both frontside and backside. In terms of pass rushing, Wallace creates separation which he then turns into a long arm. If he is cut off or moved, the 2025 graduate knows to spin back to the play. Wherever Wallace ends up playing, that college staff will be getting a very well coached and technically-advanced prospect in the trenches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16504595/66fadffd40045b3984332af7' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67d8da0f3aa41"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1538289"],"_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-67d8da0f3aa9d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The last prospect of this marathon of a positional breakdown series is [player_tooltip player_id='1538289' first='Zahmir' last='Evans'] of Old Bridge. Evans productivity starts in his stance, which has balance and power. This explosion converts to speed where he can beat many offensive lineman, taking advantage of their slow footedness, as he wreaks havoc in the backfield. The power Evans generates he then wields into force that he applies when laying a hit. I also noted how Evans extends his arms and works to create space from his offensive matchup by keeping his feet moving. From there, he will rip, swim a low hat, or snatch-to-swim in order to shed a block and set the edge. Lastly, when he is backside and free, Evans excels at chasing pullers. I consider Evans a very good player who is more technically advanced than I initially expected.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe
