Already at a great size for his age at 6'4" 255lbs. Playing Guard this past season, he has the size to play Offensive Tackle. There is a bright future ahead for William. See what our scout <strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/author/ed-obrien-author/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ed O'Brien</a></strong> <strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/01/update-on-class-of-2029-top-ten-prospects-virginia/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wrote about him</a></strong> last month:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:quote --> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cridlin spent a lot of time at offensive guard in his freshman season highlights that I watched. Right now, he excels as a run blocker. Whether it's going one-or-one or helping with combo blocks, he generates movement at the point of attack. Cridlin also reaches landmarks quickly and is able to adjust to moving targets in space. Has efficient footwork as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --></blockquote> <!-- /wp:quote --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/24953778/William-Cridlin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/wkcridlin77" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1716960"],"_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-698bc90f546b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Joshmere is a big Left Tackle for Roanoke Catholic listed at 6'2" 350lbs. A better run blocker than pass blocker right now, he has strong hands that allow him to latch and turn defenders out of the gap. He has heavy feat, and I'd like to see him bend better. Overall, a lot to like with a lot of potential that puts him high in our current rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/23671083/joshmere-curry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/joshmerecurr75" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2121570"],"_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-698bc90f54705"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Oscar Smith's starting Center had a nice freshman season. He can quickly engage defenders, has strong hands and latch, allowing him to sustain blocks. Can anchor himself in pass protection. All of his tape is on offense, but he has made himself known on the defensive side of the ball in the past as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/26829279/Isaiah-Farrar" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/only1FATZZ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2063905"],"_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-698bc90f54767"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dean <strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/02/przva-stockup-showcase-top-offensive-lineman-part-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recently impressed</a></strong> at our Winter Player Showcase, and while I was not there, I can see why based on his 2025 tape. He has a good frame, standing 6'4" and 270lbs. Plays controlled with good balance and solid bend. Fits blocks well in both run and pass blocking. I believe there is a high ceiling for Dean and I look forward to seeing his development.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/26774238/Dean-Sakowitz" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://X.com/Deansakowitz" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1597583"],"_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-698bc90f547d5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A varsity player at Offensive Guard, Mason is a name to keep an eye on. He has good quickness and physical toughness as a player. Shows good bend and ability to sustain his blocks. Lacks the size and mass to drive players, but when that is developed, I expect him to be a top lineman in the state whether it is on the offensive or defensive line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/26261368/mason-brooks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/MBrooks804" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2082759"],"_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-698bc90f5483e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brendan is an athletic Interior Offensive Lineman. He played Guard in 2025, and his Hudl tape says he can play Center as well. He is used as a puller in Trap block, as well as outside runs getting him in open space to make blocks down field as a lead blocker. Shows strong, explosive hands and good block sustain. As with many players in this class, he has not yet developed the height and mass you want at the Offensive Line, but there are positives on his tape that puts him in our rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He also plays defensive line as well, and he should be a contributor on defense throughout his high school career.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/23244517/Brendan-Richardson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/Brich_2029" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>**Cole cannot communicate with prospects directly due to his work in college football.
