New York Stock Up Showcase: Defensive Line Notes, Part II

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With our region's first significant snowfall imminent and looming, I was back on the grind. On Saturday, December 13, 2025 Prep Redzone was boots-on-the-ground in Warwick, New York 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>For a lineman it is imperative to read your visual key and fight against your pressure key. However, what separates the good pass rushers from the great ones are how quickly they can recognize and respond to what their opponent does in his pass set. This is precisely what [player_tooltip player_id='1880832' first='Matthew' last='Bucknor'] did. A 'tweener as a lineman, the rep I caught was of him coming off the edge. As he pressed the outside shoulder, Bucknor noticed his matchup overset, attacked, and won by taking the inside path... Although I did not get much of a look at [player_tooltip player_id='2077008' first='Dylan' last='Pierce'], the big body in the middle (6'2" 288lbs) showed that he has an excellent club. Pierce pierced the interior of the line when he swung his powerful club to the outside shoulder of his matchup, sending them off balance, as he won that particular rep.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1362922' first='Dakota' last='Healy'] was a prospect I was curious to see what grade he was in. A 2027, graduate, there is much to like - and reason to be optimistic - about a breakthrough season for Healy as he prepares for his senior season. Healy demonstrated a strong rip against turn shoulders, finding success in the process. Moreover, a guard slid to him and, although he saw it a bit late, he know to cross face with a rip inside to win his rush lane. Healy's performance will be more consistent as his stance becomes more consistent. I thought that at moments his defensive stance resembled that of an offensive lineman's.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">New York Stock Up Showcase Coverage</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-bigs-eye-test">Eye Test - Bigs</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-skills-eye-test">Eye Test- Skills</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-mankarious-offensive-positional-mvps">My Most Valuable Offensive Players, by Position</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-mankarious-defensive-positional-mvps">My Most Valuable Defensive Players, by Position</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-defensive-back-linebacker-notes">Defensive Back + Linebacker Notes</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-defensive-line-notes">Defensive Line Notes</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-defensive-line-notes-part-ii">Defensive Line Notes, Part II</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-linebacker-notes">Linebacker Notes</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-offensive-line-notes">Offensive Line Notes</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-offensive-line-notes-part-ii">Offensive Line Notes, Part II</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-defensive-line-notes">Quarterback Notes</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-quarterback-notes-part-ii">Quarterback Notes, Part II</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-running-back-notes">Running Back Notes</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-tight-end-wide-receiver-line-notes">Tight End + Receiver Notes</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-wide-receiver-notes">Wide Receiver Notes</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-wide-receiver-notes-part-ii">Wide Receiver Notes, Part II</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
