Rounding Out OL in the Class of ’27 Top 150

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I recently completed scouting evaluations of each player ranked in the Top 100 of our <a href="https://prepredzone.com/virginia/rankings/2027-rankings/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Class of 2027 Rankings</a>. I plan to continue working through the entire rankings over the fall and winter so we can have updated reports on every player in the rankings. Today, I am bringing you offensive linemen who missed out on the top 100 but are still quality players we will be keeping our eyes on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1312032"],"_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-688a58fac775b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bowen just missed out on the top 100, but I suspect he will be a rankings riser after this season. He has the natural size you want in an Offensive Tackle at 6'6”, and he has added mass to his frame this offseason. He bends well and has the athleticism to play the Tackle position at a high level. He does a good job mirroring pass rushers on his tape and shows a solid anchor. I expect his work this offseason will make him look more explosive in his play and take his game to the next level. We look forward to seeing his development on the field this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14711234/Bowen-Gottselig" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/bowen_gottselig" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1312752"],"_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-688a58fac77d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Joseph is a big run-blocking mauler on the offensive line. He has great size at 6'6”, 282 lbs. He has the strength and will to overpower his opponents. He does a good job of keeping a strong, balanced base in his run blocking, allowing him to drive his legs. Solid in Pass Pro, with a strong grip and anchor when he latches onto the pass rusher. A lot to like in his game. He is another I could very well see rising in the ranks after next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19517873/Joseph-McFarland" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl </a>/ <a href="https://x.com/Joseph_M76" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1312755"],"_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-688a58fac787a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Good quickness off the ball into his block fits. Good leg drive and sustain on blocks. Can operate in Gap schemes and Zone schemes. Shows he can read backers and come off double teams to pick them up. Solid Pass Protector with quick hands in his punch. Plays Tackle for Cox, likely a Guard at the next level. Would like to see him develop his core strength to stay more balanced in his block fits. Overall, a solid player with room for development in the next two years. I look forward to seeing his tape this fall. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19506153/Izaque-Tomaz" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Hudl</em></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297780"],"_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-688a58fac78c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tyson is another Offensive Tackle I suspect we will see rise in the rankings over the next two years. A large-framed 6'5”, currently listed at 285 lbs., Tyson is a road grader as St. Anne's Left Tackle. Good in run blocking, coming off the ball, and enforcing his will. He has the athleticism to get in space and lead block for his Running Backs. Shows the mental processing to pick up Backers. The natural size, strength, and athleticism are there for Tyson. I look forward to seeing how his game has developed as an Offensive Tackle this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16333563/Tyson-Boyd" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl </a>/ <a href="https://x.com/TysonkBoyd" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>**Cole cannot communicate with prospects directly due to his work in college football.
