Below I take a look at the standout out DL prospects from the day. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A player who certainly looks the part, Jeremiah measured in at 6'3" 227lbs and was a force all day long. He played with high intensity and motor throughout all the drills and really brought to juice for 1v1s. Jeremiah plays with nice get off, stays low, fires out and uses his lower half to create effective leverage. He can rush multiple ways, whether off the edge, hand in the dirt or sliding inside as an interior pass rusher. Jeremiah brings a lot to the table with his pass rush moves as well. He has extremely active hands, able to swipe away OLs initial punch. Also is able to dip and rip, getting lower than the linemans arms and flattening down the line after gets under and around the OL hip. Jeremiah can also win with speed as well as long arming the off. lineman and beating them with strength/leverage. All that leads to Jeremiah being an extremely versatile, effective, & valuable DL prospect.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jeremiah is also a high academic kid, carrying a 3.9 GPA, and a high character hard working player. He currently holds one FCS offer from Howard Univ. and should be getting lots of attention from FBS/FCS and high academic schools.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Kemarri is a player who's recruitment is poised to heat up this summer after a strong spring start. A player who looks great on the hoof, measuring in just under 6'4", weighing 218lbs of lean muscle, having great length and running a 4.9 40...Kemarri checks a lot of physical boxes. A nice overall athlete, he showed good burst and was light on his feet during drill work. He has loose hips, able to change direction quickly and get low and fire out/get flat off the edge. Kemarri plays fast and physical and brings it every snap. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Already holding two FCS offers, I see many more in his future and he should be getting strong looks from FBS colleges as well. Expect Kemarri to make a strong debut in the update 2026 rankings coming out later this month.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Matthias put on a show at the NP Showcase during drill work and in 1v1s. He stood out right away running a 4.8 40 which is a strong time for a DL who measuring in at 6'2" 262lbs. A thick framed, muscled up frame as well, Mathias plays with plenty of strength to go along with his athleticism. In drill works, Matthias showed off nice explosiveness and quick feet. He moved smoothly with burst & speed through the workouts. Showcasing the ability to bend, flip his hips & change direction while getting flat out of turns. He plays with a great motor and energy, runs on his toes and moves great for his size. In 1v1's Mathhias displayed excellent hand usage, slapping away the OLs hands and able to push/pull to shed off the attempted block. He can win with power, coming off the ball low with leverage and fighting through blocks. A versatile D lineman as well, Matthias can win from the edge or interior. I expect FCS schools to showing strong interest his way this summer.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Mekhi is a big time athletic pass rusher that was light out during 1v1s. Mekhi showed off loose hips and the ability to bend and burst in COD moves. He' quick and shifty for his position with good feet and he plays fast. In 1v1's Mekhi was winning rep after rep. Showing off active hands, able to swim and rip through blockers. His burst off the snap allowed him to shoot the gap and get skinny, as well as showcasing a very effective out and in move. Mekhi gets blockers on their heels with his speed, then gets them off balance with his agility & movement, allowing for him to have clear paths to the QB. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Mekhi was first team All State this past fall and I expect him to have an even more dominant senior season. He has real value as a true edge rusher, either stand up or his hand in the dirt and colleges better start taking notice.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Matthew is a long and athletic edge rusher who tested very well at the showcase. Measured in at 6'2" 194lbs. running a 4.7 40 and a 9'7" broad jump, which are all strong numbers for the position. Showcasing real quick feet to go along with nice twitch/burst, Matthew made impressive work of the DL drills. He has nice overall fluid movements, quick hips and plays fast. In one on ones, Matthew was quick on movement, fast to bend the OL's hip and get around them to the QB. He displayed active hands and a nice spin move as well. He is quick and shifty making it hard to OL to stay balanced and get engaged with him, allowing him to maneuver his way to the QB. Matthews length and explosiveness make him a tough block and I expect him to have very productive senior year.</p>
