Rising Underclassmen Offensive Linemen

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're hitting the offensive trenches again today, and are highlighting a group of young and talented linemen starting to make waves in recruitment.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2050017"],"_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-69178df9dd717"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elmer stepped in this year and helped bring some swagger to the North front. He can play violently and with strength. He's got a strong core and hands, which help him at the point of attack. He's a decent athlete who can bend and go on the move. He's got a decent first step and can get to eh second level with ease. He's decent in pass pro as well, but not near his ceiling yet. He's got the prototypical frame and looks good. I like where he's at and the upside he has.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1942437"],"_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-69178df9dd780"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bell has the frame and size you are looking for upfront. He's got a 6'6" wingspan as well and just about always has first reach. He's capable in both pass pro and the running game, but it's still a work in progress. I feel like he's made to be on the outside and hold the edge. The way he can gain depth and have that first reach will always be his advantage. He's powerful and checks a lot of the boxes. If he can continue to develop, he'll be a top lineman in the class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1423974"],"_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-69178df9dd7d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Berry had a good year and just finished the year being a full-time starter. He's got a good head on his shoulders and seems to be a very smart lineman. He's got good instincts and natural strength. His hand placement is good, and he understands how to work with double teams to get to the second level. I like where he's at right now in development and think he can continue this upward trend over the next 2 years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2050010"],"_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-69178df9dd824"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hobaugh is a lengthy lineman who can play all across the line. He's played inside and outside and had success. He's fairly nimble for someone with his length, which is why he has that versatility. I like him on the move and getting out front to be the lead blocker. He doesn't rush downfield to become an ineligible man. It's little things like that which stand out to me and I appreciate. He started 9 games this year and did not allow a sack. He's well-grounded and is someone I anticipate climbing the boards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1626681"],"_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-69178df9dd874"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Baker's season was cut a little short due to injury, but the tape he put out there to start his HS career is worth noting. He's a high-motor player who doesn't take reps off. He'll play through the whistle and always look for more work. He's a bit light right now, but once the weight starts to come, it'll help his overall power. He's good in the running game now, but it'll start to become his strength in due time. I do wish he had the chance to work on pass pro more in games, but he does his job and does it well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
