He possesses good size and has a nice frame to add 10-15 lbs. Whelan is an athletic lineman who is light on his feet and showcases good footwork. He showcases a good nastiness with physicality and drives his man backwards, looks to pancake his man, and will chip in pass protection and use his strength to help finish off blocks. Whelan has a good base and a strong first step. He's a player honing his craft and has made his commitment to the Air Force Academy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["717888"],"_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-6812e9e777dae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Leausa has great size and an excellent frame. He moves extremely well for a player of his size. Leausa is an interior lineman but has the ability to work as a tackle due to his athleticism. He is light on his feet and a great mover. Leausa pulls easily and is effective in the screen game as well. He has a great, quick first step and once he gets going is a strong and physical lineman. Leausa drives his man back and will toss him aside and get to the second level. He is a player who should get looked at regionally in recruiting. Leaus has exceptional upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1562424"],"_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-6812e9e777dfb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aiono possesses a good size and frame for an Offensive Tackle, and he moves exceptionally well. He showcases a good first step, good quickness to be effective in screens, and in the pulling game. Aiono shows good footwork and moves much lighter than his frame would suggest. He easily gets to the second level when pulling and looks for additional contact. Aiono is a physical and strong lineman with a nasty streak to him. He is a player who will get regionally recruited and has a great upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Tauese Tapusoa","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"325","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"St George","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6812e9e777ec2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tapusoa has an exceptional size and a great frame. He can be a two-way player. On the defensive side, he'll be a defensive tackle, and offensively, he is best as an interior offensive lineman. Tapusoa is a strong, physical athlete and a mountain to move off his base and trajectory. He showcases good footwork with great technical form and good hands. He has good enough length for an interior offensive lineman and well well-versed in pass protection and run blocking. As a defensive tackle, he showcases good strength, and his physical nature is too much for many interior offensive linemen. Tapusoa is a tank of a body and occupies good space, and will be a run-stuffing defensive tackle. He shows good footwork for a player his size and should get looked at regionally in recruiting as either an interior lineman or a defensive tackle.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1683674' first='Ayden' last='Pearson']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"240","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Spanish Fork","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6812e9e778009"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pearson is an interior offensive lineman who can line up as a guard and center. I like him as a center, and he showcases good quickness and moves well laterally. Pearson is light on his feet and makes for an effective puller and a lineman who can work to the second level. He has a good base and quickness to him to get into position after the snap, and has active hands. He's a player who should develop into a well-rounded interior lineman.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Those were five excellent offensive linemen that you need to know about and will be impactful for their respective teams under those Friday night lights. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
