He is very athletic for the position and moves well out of his stance with natural bend and hip/ankle mobility in his stance. Day is a true mauler with a violent inside punch, leg drive through contact and finish abilities while excelling at pulling across thee LOS and cutting off at the second level in space. He is patient in pass protection while able to anchor and not over-set and is not passive and always looking for work in the pocket. He should draw plenty of FBS/FCS interest/offers down the stretch here after having a breakout Junior season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1857777"],"_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-6970331cd1d15"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anchoring perhaps the top offensive line unit in the state, Klatt is a elite center prospect that makes up for his size with tremendous athletic ability in space, high IQ and is a true technician in the trenches with good strength and hand violence at the POA. He snaps out of his stance and gets hands on quickly while showing he can get underneath defenders with good pad level and win with leverage and strong leg drive/balanced base at the POA while able to pull and get to the second level when cutting off linebackers/scrapers over the top. Look for Klatt to draw plenty of college interest over the next 12 months and is one of the top returning offensive lineman in the Trinity League. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1690379"],"_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-6970331cd1e24"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sorensen is a big and physical tackle prospect with the right size/length for anywhere along the offensive line at the next level, and offers plenty of position versatility. He is a true mover in the trenches, punches quickly and created immediate vertical push while able to overpower smaller defenders and finish blocks downfield. He shows he can block in space as well and does a nice job lowering his pad level and winning with leverage and inside hands at the POA. He checks into our rankings inside the top 45 at his position and should see plenty of FCS+ schools showing interest and potentially offering. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2061221"],"_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-6970331cd2083"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hillery is a very athletic offensive tackle that has plenty of growth potential and moves well for his size and excels at getting out to block in space and in pass protection. He snaps out of his stance and gets immediate vertical push with good leverage and a powerful first step off the line. He plays with good knee bend to get underneath defenders, and create vertical knock-back and shows he can get out in space on screens/throwback passes and excels at second and third level blocking. Checking into our WL rankings, he should see plenty of D3+ interest over the next 12 months and is one of the top as his position across San Diego. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1739175"],"_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-6970331cd1f49"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dufour lands on our watch list in the most recent rankings update and is a interior prospect that plays with a low hat, good leverage and is a strong puncher at the first level. Although a bit undersized right now, he has plenty of time to grow into his frame and collect plenty of interest at the D3+ level. He has plus athleticism and can pull/block in space and is not passive in pass protection while able to excel against power rushers and create a nice pocket. He is a name to note heading into the 2026 season along the interior offensive line across the region. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
