As an interior offensive lineman, he showed the ability to fire off the ball and block in the run game at a high level. 1st, he has great size (6'4') and shows good strength at the point of attack. He is excellent as a combo blocker. He shows a good ability to block defensive tackles and push them back into the linebackers. If Altier can stay healthy, he has a chance to be a good player this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Junior Season Film<br>6'4 290<br>Played 3 games due to injury <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachMBrown1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachMBrown1</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/AGiansante_2021?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@AGiansante_2021</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/joeyL1102?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@joeyL1102</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/NorwinFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NorwinFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/NorwinFBallNtwk?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NorwinFBallNtwk</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Cover3_ATH?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Cover3_ATH</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/WPIAL_Insider?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WPIAL_Insider</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/WestmorelandSN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WestmorelandSN</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BillBeckner?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BillBeckner</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/WPIAL_Blitz?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WPIAL_Blitz</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/TheWPIALEdition?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TheWPIALEdition</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PickerWally?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PickerWally</a> <a href="https://t.co/25SHeMGBen">https://t.co/25SHeMGBen</a> <a href="https://t.co/ipUvkuWf6x">pic.twitter.com/ipUvkuWf6x</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1793566' first='Lucas' last='Altier'] (@lucasaltier) <a href="https://twitter.com/lucasaltier/status/1852408571566112932?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 1, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1623975"],"_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-689b712b78245"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1623975' first='Sebastian' last='Summerville'] is a good offensive lineman for Norwin.

He also shows a good ability to finish blocks, and rarely do defenders get off his blocks. The other area of strength is his ability to combo block. He does a good job of double-teaming against defensive tackles and then peeling off to block linebackers. Summerville, with a strong off-season in the weight room, should be an improved player this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">‼️Sophomore Year Film‼️<br>6'1 240 <br>Class of 2027<br>OL/DL<a href="https://twitter.com/NorwinFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NorwinFB</a> <a href="https://t.co/mr9xkw4DAb">https://t.co/mr9xkw4DAb</a> <a href="https://t.co/jrwKvYuOkk">pic.twitter.com/jrwKvYuOkk</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1623975' first='Sebastian' last='Summerville'] (@Sebass5858) <a href="https://twitter.com/Sebass5858/status/1852479898134491607?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 1, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1793592"],"_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-689b712b782c8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1793592' first='Tommy' last='Wuycheck'] is a good athlete who played as an offensive and defensive lineman last year for Norwin.

He also played as a defensive tackle and showed a good ability to take on blocks and not be moved off his spot.

Lebanon. His ability to play both sides of the ball is excellent. As a defensive tackle, he is hard to block and move off his spot. One example is his ability to split double-team blocks, which allows him to stop run plays run towards him. He also has a motor that never quits as he constantly chases plays all over the field from his defensive tackle position. Then, as an offensive tackle, he shows good fundamentals. He has a good stance and fires off the ball well. He recently picked up an offer from Franklin and Marshall, and I expect more offers to come his way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">After a great call with <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_Phelan25?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_Phelan25</a> I am beyond grateful to receive an offer from <a href="https://twitter.com/FandMFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@FandMFootball</a>! <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_Handy73?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_Handy73</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_Q41?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_Q41</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/mtlebofootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@mtlebofootball</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/wpialsportsnews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@wpialsportsnews</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/TheWPIALEdition?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TheWPIALEdition</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/WPIAL_Insider?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WPIAL_Insider</a> <a href="https://t.co/XlzKbJze8m">pic.twitter.com/XlzKbJze8m</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1793599' first='Jackson' last='Steiner'] (@JacksonSteine14) <a href="https://twitter.com/JacksonSteine14/status/1952506877239300211?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 4, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["647663"],"_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-689b712b783bd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='647663' first='Ben' last='Gottschalk'] played as an offensive tackle last year for Canon McMillan.
