SMSB Wayne State Camp: Defensive Line Impressions

Well north of triple-digits for Defensive Linemen at the Wayne State Mega Camp. A ton of guys, and very little time to get a good look at them. Fortunately, this position was easier than most to get a simple, quick look at. Here are five players that managed to catch my eye.    As I said on Twitter, Myles is lengthy and athletic. Really eye-popping size and obvious upside.   Skill-wise, Myles does his best work when executing a quick athletesism-based move, like a dip and rip or a spin. The more power-based moves are where Myles gets into trouble. Plus, he needs more polish with his counters. All-around pretty standard for a super high upside, underweight defensive end. A player that D1s should have on their Watch List, and someone who I expect to be a GLIAC guy at the absolute least.     Jeremiah is checking a lot of boxes for me.   First, he passes the eye test. He's a little under-height for some programs, but he's strong, muscular, and overall looks like a college DT.   Jeremiah is also extremely explosive and well-conditioned for his size. Although he's 5'9" 275, he has a 29-inch vertical, and it shows in his getoff. Additionally, he was a two-way player last season, playing running back. Most DTs I watch in-season tend to slow down a ton as the game progresses. Although I've never watched a Saginaw Heritage game in person, I beleive there's a very high chance that Jeremiah has well above-average stamina.     I only got to watch a couple of reps from Zu'Bril, but I absolutely like what I see thus far.   He's a big defensive tackle with a ton of potential. Already has phenomenal size as an incoming freshman, though he isn't 6'3" quite yet. Where Zu'Bril finds most success is in his effort and hands. Still quite raw, but Zu did a great job of hand fighting and not allowing the opposing O-Lineman to execute a big punch. Also, Zu does a great job keeping his legs moving throughout the rep (lots of younger, more raw D-Linemen stop their feet).   Considering this is an incoming freshman at Belleville already with very promising traits, I think there's a high likelihood that Zu develops into a college prospect quickly.     Two obstructed clips of London, but both show promising stuff.   Quick off the ball, long stride, and excellent change of direction. The two wins that I watched showcased Londons ability to fake outside, make the tackle bite, and quickly cut back inside for an easy-looking win. Not too much to go off in terms of hands, but considering he's ranked #5 in Ohio's DL group, I imagine he's a pretty well-rounded player.   Looks like a MAC prospect, and is currently a MAC prospect.     A short impression, but a dang good one. Braylen is explosive, fast, and has a ton of potential as a high school defensive end (baked up further by his 30.5-inch vertical). In the one clip I have, Bralyen explodes off the ball, tries to dip under the edge, but ultimately loses the rep. A little more bend would have done him well.   Braylen earned his way into the best-of-the-best group as an incoming sophomore. Muscular, explosive, some great traits. If Braylen grows a few more inches, he could be a D1 prospect at DE. If he stays put, he can absolutely still be a college prospect, but could play DE, DT, or LB in college.
