New Jersey Stock Up Showcase: Defensive Line Notes

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After a day or two to say "thanks," I was back on the grind. On Saturday, November 29, 2025 Prep Redzone was boots-on-the-ground in Jackson, New Jersey as we hosted our latest rendition of the Stock Up Showcase. Below are my notes from the position group referenced in this article's title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Typically, you do not want to swim a high hat when pass rushing. When I saw that happen, I was a bit surprised. However, it was not until I got back home and checked the roster that I understood how [player_tooltip player_id='2068834' first='Daniel' last='Cavanagh'] is able to get way with the move applied in an ill-advised scenario. For Cavanagh, who stands at 6'2", few prospects have the height that forbid him from swimming a high hat - no matter how upright they are. Cavanagh got past his matchup with ease, as he seems to have refined this move.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Physically speaking, [player_tooltip player_id='1636072' first='Chase' last='Cozzupoli'] is the type of prospect that I like. At about 5'10" and just under 270lbs, with a stout, compact build Cozzupoli has the frame that I like to play either guard or nose guard. He is well built, not top-heavy, has good weight distribution, and can play with low leverage and a low center of gravity. It would aid Cozzupoli to continue to hit the ladder every day this offseason to quicken his feet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In-line with the raw appearance of prospect, [player_tooltip player_id='2063833' first='Noah' last='Damminger'] is another one that showed up looking good. Damminger first caught my eye when he was in his stance. It was very textbook and picture-esque: weight forward, head even with butt, off hand ready to attack, and a flat back. Power angles are one thing I would knit-pick at. When it came to performing, Damminger was one of the few prospects I noted that managed to throw his hips and actually get them around when pass rushing. Later on, I saw him work his hands, quite masterfully find you, upward and to a refit on a bull rush for an easy rep win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Jersey Stock Up Showcase Coverage</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-jersey-stock-up-showcases-top-offensive-combine-performers">Top Combine Performances - Offense</a>, by Brendan Mankarious<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-jersey-stock-up-showcases-top-defensive-combine-performers">Top Combine Performances - Defense</a>, by Brendan Mankarious<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-jersey-stock-up-showcase-the-eye-test">The Eye Test</a>, by Brendan Mankarious<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-jersey-stock-up-showcase-positional-most-valuable-players">Positional MVPs</a>, by Brendan Mankarious<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-jersey-stock-up-showcase-defensive-back-notes">Defensive Back Notes</a>, by Brendan Mankarious<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-jersey-stock-up-showcase-defensive-line-notes">Defensive Line Notes</a>, by Brendan Mankarious<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-jersey-stock-up-showcase-running-back-notes">Running Back Notes</a>, by Brendan Mankarious<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/11/prep-redzone-nj-stock-up-showcase-qb-standouts/">QB Standouts</a>, by Cory Lemer<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/11/prep-redzone-nj-stock-up-showcase-standouts">Standouts</a>, by Cory Lemer<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/standouts-pt-1-nj-prep-redzone-showcase-camp/">Standouts Part 1</a>, by Nick DeMaio</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
