The All-SFL selection has a massive frame and moves pretty well for his size while strong at the POA and overpowers smaller defenders at the first two levels. He gets hands on quick, shows a consistently wide and balanced base throughout his block progressions and is a natural bender in his stance with good ankle/hip flexibility for his size. As he continues to work on pad level and grows and develops, he is a no-brainer next level guy and is another regional prospect that should draw plenty of D2+ interest/offers over the next 12 months for Oak Ridge.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/TroyFleming75/status/2006081845746868261?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/TroyFleming75/status/2006081845746868261?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Josiah Castaneda","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"310","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Palma","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-695d97ab2681a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Palma product is a hidden gem across northern California and although still a raw and developing prospect holds tons of upside and unlocked potential with still another year left in his high school career. He has the ideal length/frame and size for the FBS level and is a true mauler that uses his initial punch, hand violence and leg drive to overpower defenders and win at the first level. His frame and length will allow him to keep adding good weight/muscle and he is a prospect that can really take off from a developmental standpoint and be a nice get for a college program in a couple years. He is athletic for his size, snaps out of his stance and shows he can pull and get out in space to block with body control and balance, which is impressive for his massive frame. Look for him to have a big off-season and really explode onto the scene through his Senior year for Palma.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Josiah_Cast_/status/1994618090504819005?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Josiah_Cast_/status/1994618090504819005?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Logan Day","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'6u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"269","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Dana Hills","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-695d97ab26911"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Day is one of the more under the radar offensive line prospects across southern California and is a extremely athletic and versatile prospect that excels at either guard or tackle with plus athleticism and is a technically sound blocker. He is a natural bender that has a quick first step, shows he can pull across the line and violently run through defenders when kicking out and takes good angles in the open field while sustaining blocks and is very strong at the POA. His ability to excel in-between the tackles or out in space with consistent violent intentions is very impressive and it should only be a matter of time until a FCS+ Big Sky school comes in and offers the rising Senior prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Logan_day_/status/1989859748259533173?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Logan_day_/status/1989859748259533173?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Carl Weigel","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"268","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Carmel","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-695d97ab269fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Weigel is a under the radar tackle prospect that has plenty of varsity playing experience under his belt heading into his senior year and is one of the top returning offensive line prospects across the CCS. He holds one offer from San Diego and can play either guard or tackle and is athletic enough to block out in space and can get a immediate vertical push out of his stance when vertically blocking downhill. He is strong at the POA and can create immediate displacement off the ball, pull out in space/get out for screens with proper angles and block sustainment and is a very well balanced and technically sound prospect. He should draw plenty of next level interest and is a name to note this off-season on the camp circuit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/CarlWeigel_1/status/1992711350314045611?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/CarlWeigel_1/status/1992711350314045611?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Gage Esty","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"225","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Placer ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-695d97ab26ae9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Esty is one of the better road graders across the greater Sacramento region and is coming off a solid Junior season for Placer where he excelled from his guard position and offers some position versatility at the next level with plus athleticism and movement. He gets off the ball quick with a violent inside strike, shows he can sustain blocks at the first two levels and has finish abilities in the run game while staying within his frame and has consistent violence. Although not asked of much in pass protection due to scheme, he snaps out of his stance, sets his hands and can anchor if beat and stays patient against speed rushers while able to create a nice interior pocket without giving up ground. He should collect a host of D3+ offers this off-season and is poised for a huge final prep season for Placer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/GageEsty/status/1994995204777287762?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/GageEsty/status/1994995204777287762?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
