He also shows position versatility, in which he played as an offensive guard and as an offensive tackle. As a run blocker, he is a mauler who destroys defensive tackles. He shows good strength as he fires off the ball and destroys defensive tackles. On several clips, you see him firing off and dominating defensive tackles who have no shot at stopping him. Then, as a pass protector, I like the way he moves his feet. He moves his feet well and stays in front of edge defenders. Logan recently visited Lafayette, I expect more visits and offers to come his way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Had a great time at Lafayette today!

His ability to fire off the ball and down block defensive tackles is impressive. He also moves well and shows off his athletic ability when he pulls. He pulls and kicks out edge defenders well. On a counter scheme, he has a great feel for pulling and wrapping around and blocking the 1st defender he sees. He also has a good stance and fires off the ball well. McHugh is a good athlete who plays offensive tackle well, and his film shows that.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Check out my Junior Season Offensive Highlights <br>I was an all EPC 2nd Team Offensive tackle<br>Gave up 0 Qb sacks.<br>Finished the season 10-3 <br><br>Finally i wanted thank god for giving me the opportunity to play this sport year in year out<a href="https://t.co/FiYR4DV85e">https://t.co/FiYR4DV85e</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1352767' first='Brody' last='McHugh'] (@BrodyMchugh18_4) <a href="https://twitter.com/BrodyMchugh18_4/status/1867224273796141142?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 12, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1155903"],"_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-67ff91b21c647"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1155903' first='Elijah' last='Grovesnor'] is a good athlete who shows a good ability to play as an offensive tackle.

As a pass blocker is where I saw him excel. He extends his long arms and can contain and stop edge rushers from getting into the offensive backfield. Grovesnor has the talent to play at the College level, and I think with a good off-season, he should be in line for a monster senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Please check out my mid season highlights ‼️‼️<a href="https://twitter.com/EastonFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@EastonFootball</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Matt_Senneca?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Matt_Senneca</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/jwhite6_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@jwhite6_</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachMattSully?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachMattSully</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/coachnickgould?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@coachnickgould</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_Mul?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_Mul</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/coachpetite?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@coachpetite</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachRodHoward?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachRodHoward</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/TDJohnston42?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TDJohnston42</a><a href="https://t.co/ck5FeZ21wb">https://t.co/ck5FeZ21wb</a> <a href="https://t.co/c4FHXUAYpY">pic.twitter.com/c4FHXUAYpY</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1155903' first='Elijah' last='Grovesnor'] (@ElijahGrovesnor) <a href="https://twitter.com/ElijahGrovesnor/status/1842604874669986222?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 5, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["854368"],"_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-67ff91b21c69b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='854368' first='Brian' last='Graves'] has a chance to be the best offensive lineman on this list. He is a prototypical left tackle with the size (6'6") and arm length of a left tackle. When he gets his hands on a defender, it is over, because of his size and reach. He is excellent as a pass blocker. He kick-starts from his stance, and he is so long that defenders cannot get through him. He needs to grow with conditioning and some fundamentals, but the talent is there. I expect a big senior year from him. He recently picked up an offer from Delaware State, I expect more offers to come his way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1155957"],"_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-67ff91b21c700"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1155957' first='Cole' last='Phillips'] is an excellent guard prospect who does a good job with his fundamentals as an offensive lineman.

He is an excellent puller and shows good athleticism. He fires out of his stance and does an excellent job of leading up through on a run play.

In all the plays I saw him, Crislip is in a 2-point stance, which is impressive because he was equally as good as a run blocker and as a pass blocker. As a run blocker, he shows good ability to block both defensive linemen and linebackers. His ability to keep his wide base and still block defenders in the run game is impressive. Then, as a pass blocker, he is excellent. He kickstarts right after the snap and does a good job extending his arms and not letting defenders edge any movement against him. Crislip is a good offensive tackle and has the talent to play even better.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
