PRZTN Winter Showcase Top Performers (Offensive Line)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There was a multitude of talented prospects from around the Volunteer State and beyond in attendance at the Prep Redzone Tennessee Winter Showcase on Sunday afternoon. After breaking down all of the event MVPs, it's time to dive into positional groups and reveal some of the top performers. To kick things off, here's my list of the top offensive linemen to make their presence known.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1236042"],"_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-695c1f46ee468"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Making his presence known all throughout positional drills was [player_tooltip player_id='1236042' first='Gabriel' last='Gonzalez'], an offensive lineman at Webb School of Knoxville. Gonzalez was impressive on every rep, proving he can absorb hits and use his wingspan to wrap up his opponent. I also liked how Gonzalez could use his size and strength to pushback against the defensive line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/22460938/68cd9626fc790c41c65da673">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["423394"],"_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-695c1f46ee514"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the biggest names on the field on Sunday was [player_tooltip player_id='423394' first='Koehn' last='Dial'], a talented offensive lineman out of Battle Ground Academy. Dial did not disappoint during his reps, showcasing outstanding strength and speed. I liked how Dial could use his size to put up an unmovable wall. The rising junior also impressed with his ability to use his arms to lock up his opponent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/16760167/6519cd758cddd80abce2e3c7">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1537346"],"_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-695c2566035a7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Easily one of the best prospects of the day was [player_tooltip player_id='1537346' first='Brayden' last='Gonzalez'], an offensive lineman at Webb School of Knoxville.

Anderson was extremely impressive with his size and ability to quickly react to whatever the defensive line threw at him.

Coffman was locked in from start to finish, using his size and strength to blast his opponent and slow down their attack. I also really liked how Coffman could adapt to the physicality of the defensive line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/8377711/68d830689a45c9d8f63d9b72">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1570274"],"_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-695c1f932cea5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another top tier prospect that caught my attention was Alex Robinson, an offensive lineman at Marshall County High School. The visiting prospect from the Bluegrass State made the most of his reps, proving he has superior blocking and can put up a wall on his opponent. Robinson also stood out with how he could use his footwork to adapt to the defensive line trying to move around him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/23222921/692e5845cc386d237960c329">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1734274"],"_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-695c1f46ee6d2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I also really liked what I saw from [player_tooltip player_id='1734274' first='Andrew' last='Carlin'], an offensive lineman at Signal Mountain High School. Carlin caught my attention with his excellent size and strength. During positional drills, Carlin made it extremely difficult for his opponent to move, using his strength and wingspan to suffocate the defensive line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/23059081/69122bbfe2294d59ca781a96">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1662928"],"_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-695c1f46ee759"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Also worth mentioning is [player_tooltip player_id='1662928' first='Blake' last='Leigh'], a talented offensive lineman from Shelbyville Central High School that made the most of his reps yesterday. Leigh caught my eye with his ability to read his opponent like a book and use his wingspan to create pushback. I also liked how Leigh was quick and could adapt to every linemen with ease.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17908613/Blake-Leigh">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
