Super 75 Preview: Offensive Lineman

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Super 75 Preview: Offensive Linemen</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The trenches will be loaded with talent at this year's Super 75 Showcase, headlined by a deep and battle-tested group of offensive linemen. This unit brings a rare combination of size, experience, and football IQ, with the majority of players entering the event as two- and three-year starters for their respective programs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>From powerful interior maulers to agile bookend tackles, this year's class features standouts at guard, center, and tackle. These linemen have been anchoring their offenses for years, opening lanes for 1,000-yard rushers and providing elite protection for top-tier quarterbacks. Their chemistry, leadership, and toughness will be on full display throughout the showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Expect to see technically sound pass protectors with quick feet and violent hands, as well as physical run blockers who finish through the whistle. With this level of experience and competitive edge, don't be surprised if several names from this group make major noise during the fall season—and beyond.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1720707' first='Clarence' last='Gilliam'] JH Rose High School</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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='1720707' first='Clarence' last='Gilliam']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"","_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":"JH Rose","_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-68704e2caa452"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Player Spotlight: [player_tooltip player_id='1720707' first='Clarence' last='Gilliam'] – J.H. Rose (NC)</strong><br>At 6'3” and tipping the scales at over 330 pounds, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1720707' first='Clarence' last='Gilliam']</strong> is impossible to miss—and that's before the ball is even snapped. The first thing that jumps off the screen is his sheer size and surprising mobility. The second? His power at the point of contact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A dominant force on the edge for J.H. Rose, Gilliam has been holding it down at tackle for his high school squad, but projects as a <strong>guard at the next level</strong>, where his physicality and short-area quickness will shine even brighter. He'll be working inside during the Super 75 Showcase, where college coaches will get a firsthand look at his ability to anchor and finish blocks in the interior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gilliam's combination of frame, movement skills, and nastiness in the trenches makes him one of the most intriguing big men in this year's group. Don't be surprised if he draws serious attention from scouts looking for an FCS level interior lineman.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Craig Whitley Greene Central</strong> <strong>High School</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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":"Craig Whitley ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"","_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":"Greene Central","_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-68704e2caa519"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At 6'2" and nearly 300 pounds, Craig Whitley is a rare blend of size and agility. He consistently gets off the ball quickly and is at the point of attack on nearly every big run for Greene Central. Whitley's jaw-shattering kick-out blocks are a key factor in creating running lanes, showcasing his power and technique. Despite his size, he moves with surprising quickness and displays excellent footwork, allowing him to dominate defenders at the line of scrimmage. As a cornerstone of Greene Central's offensive line, Whitley's physicality and relentless motor make him a player to watch at the Super 75 Showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Yasere Bray Jack Britt High School</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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":"Yasere Bray","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"","_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":"Jack Britt ","_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-68704e2caa5bf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Yasere Bray is a brute when it comes to run blocking and a rock-solid anchor on the edge in pass protection. His combination of strength and agility makes him a natural fit at right tackle at the next level. Despite his size, Bray moves exceptionally well for an athlete of his stature. He plays with a perfect blend of aggression and patience, knowing when to attack defenders and when to hold his ground. His physicality and technique make him a standout lineman and a key piece in any offensive line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1368119' first='Hunter' last='Clark'] Purnell Swett High School</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1368119"],"_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-68704e2caa617"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1368119' first='Hunter' last='Clark'] stands out as the largest lineman at the showcase, towering at 6'6" with prototypical size for a high-level offensive lineman. Despite his imposing frame, Clark displays excellent hand technique and nimble footwork—traits that set him apart from many players his size. His long arms give him a natural advantage in controlling defenders and creating separation at the line of scrimmage. Clark is an elite prospect with a high ceiling, and I'm eager to see how he continues to develop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Dakori McPherson Terry Sanford High School</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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":"Dakori McPherson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"","_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":"Terry Sanford","_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-68704e2caa6b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dakori McPherson enters the Super 75 Showcase as the youngest lineman in attendance, but don't let his age fool you. The rising sophomore is set to play a key role for a Terry Sanford offensive line undergoing a full rebuild. While his varsity reps have been limited so far, McPherson brings plenty of potential to the table. With solid size and a strong foundation of technique, he's a name to watch closely—not just at the showcase, but throughout the upcoming season. I'm looking forward to getting a closer look at what he brings to the field.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Demori Williams Seventy-First High School</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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":"Demori Williams","_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":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"","_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":"Seventy-First ","_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-68704e2caa750"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Demori Williams has been a key part of the Seventy-First junior varsity program, which boasts an undefeated streak spanning four seasons. Now a junior, Williams is poised to make a significant impact as he steps up to the varsity level. His raw strength is undeniable—he squats close to 500 pounds and benches nearly 300—making him a formidable force on the line. It will be exciting to see how Williams matches up against the top competition at the Super 75 Showcase as he continues to develop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Marcus White of Marion SC will also be competing at Guard</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
