Athletes from all over Oklahoma, and some of the surrounding states and beyond came to Broken Arrow to go up against top competition and be coached and evaluated from college coaches in this region. Throughout the next few days, we'll have a ton of prospect breakdowns on Prep Redzone and video content dropping on our&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@PrepRedzoneOklahoma">YouTube Channel</a></strong>. Our coverage began with a look at&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/02/stock-up-showcase-positional-mvps/">the positional MVPs from Sunday's event</a></strong>. We continue our coverage here with a look in the trenches with some of the top offensive and defensive linemen from Sunday!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1054230' first='Aiden' last='Augustine'] - 2028 Offensive Lineman - Mangum</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mangum sophomore offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='1054230' first='Aiden' last='Augustine'] has been a prospect we've seen at our camps quite a bit since he started coming when he was in middle school. Augustine has also shown steady improvement from that first event and even last year and we believe he's one of the better interior offensive lineman prospects in the state's 2028 class. Augustine clearly puts the work in and there's a dedication factor that shouldn't be overlooked. He performed well in 1 on 1's and we like that he moved around to different spots on the line. It was another solid showing from the SW Oklahoma product. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2071791' first='Cashton' last='Mathis'] - 2028 Defensive Lineman - Enid</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Enid sophomore defensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='2071791' first='Cashton' last='Mathis'] was hands down one of the top defensive linemen in attendance on Sunday. He was right there at the top of the list in terms of MVP for the DL group. Mathis really impressed us on Sunday afternoon. We've seen film of him and we know he's been productive but he absolutely dominated on Sunday afternoon. Between his size and speed, he's a match-up nightmare for opposing offensive linemen. The ceiling for him as a prospect is incredibly high. He could end up being one of the top DL prospects in this class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1837223' first='Elijah' last='Johnson'] - 2027 Offensive Lineman - Pocola</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pocola 2027 offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='1837223' first='Elijah' last='Johnson'] was another new name that got on our radar after watching him in person on Sunday. Pocola had several standouts at different positions but Johnson was the biggest at 6'5 and nearly 300 pounds. He's going to be a foundational piece for the Pocola offense moving forward. He performed really well during the 1 on 1 session and as we typically say, OL are usually at a disadvantage in these camp settings. That did not look like it was the case for Johnson as he was able to handle different pass rushers and at times he made it look easy. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2123163' first='Gabriel' last='Wells'] - 2029 Defensive Lineman - Del City</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Del City 2029 defensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='2123163' first='Gabriel' last='Wells'] first got on our radar during the testing portion of the camp. He moved incredibly well for his size and the speed definitely checked out. So we were locked in on him considering he's just a freshman and he was moving so well at that size. Wells then performed well during the 1 on 1 portion of camp, lining up on the edge and using that speed to get around offensive tackles. Wells is a name that we didn't know about coming into Sunday's event but he's certainly someone we'll be following moving forward. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1719212' first='Griffen' last='Devore'] - 2028 Defensive Lineman - Collinsville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Collinsville sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='1719212' first='Griffen' last='Devore'] was a prospect we were fired up to see in person on Sunday. We caught him in action once during his sophomore season and were impressed but Sunday's camp gave us a chance to see him get rep after rep. He passed the eye test and was someone we'll be paying attention to moving forward as he continues to develop. Devore looked pretty polished with his moves as he was able to work inside or go outside opposing offensive linemen. He rarely had hands on him while we were watching so the quickness and burst was clearly there. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1831991' first='Gus' last='Matthews'] - 2027 Defensive Lineman - Ada</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This was our first chance to see Ada junior defensive end [player_tooltip player_id='1831991' first='Gus' last='Matthews'] in person and just like his brother (the OL MVP) it was not disappointing. Matthews is long and athletic and he used that athleticism to his advantage during the 1 on 1 session. There were two reps that we caught on film that stood out about his game. The first featured him coming off the edge and quickly getting the OL's hands off him. The second featured him going to the same move, it didn't work but in a split second, he spun around and got free. Matthews knows how to get free and that's a problem for opposing quarterbacks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='913667' first='Kade' last='Barton'] - 2027 Defensive Lineman - Mount St. Mary</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We were fired up to see new Mount St. Mary 2027 defensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='913667' first='Kade' last='Barton'] in attendance on Sunday. Barton had one of the best individual performances we watched in person last fall from a defender. So we got to see Barton do what he does best on Sunday and that's beat offensive tackles, time after time. There was one rep that stood out to us where Barton actually had more control of the opposing OL while still rushing and at the end, he extended his arm and the OL went down. It was a nasty move and his performance just solidified our opinion that he's one of the better pass rushers in the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1833485' first='Kole' last='Smith'] - 2029 Defensive Lineman - Chisholm</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chisholm freshman defensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='1833485' first='Kole' last='Smith'] is the second and only other 2029 prospect on this breakdown. Smith stood out to us during the 1 on 1 session as he was moving around, lining up in different spots on the defensive line and still finding success with a variety of moves. With him only being a freshman, we're looking forward to seeing how he continues to grow physically because the skillset has a really strong foundation and should only get better from here. This was our first chance to get eyes on Smith and we were impressed with his abilities. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2104962' first='Lars' last='Frette'] - 2027 Defensive Lineman - Bishop Kelley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bishop Kelley junior defensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='2104962' first='Lars' last='Frette'] brought the juice on Sunday afternoon. Frette is a name that we didn't know much about coming into Sunday's camp but he certainly has our attention now. During the 1 on 1 session, Frette would routinely work on the edge and he was just too quick for opposing offensive linemen. Even when they got hands on him, he knew how to get out of their clutches in the blink of an eye while working into the backfield. He's definitely a prospect that we want to see more of moving forward because he really impressed us and the coaches. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1831795' first='Marquis' last='Vick'] - 2027 Defensive Lineman - Millwood</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Millwood junior [player_tooltip player_id='1831795' first='Marquis' last='Vick'] definitely earned his way on this breakdown after his work on Sunday afternoon. Vick was one of the smaller defensive linemen that we had but he was not limited by that. He was routinely going against offensive tackles that probably had 60-100 pounds on him and Vick used his speed, agility and overall burst to get around them by any means necessary. Vick was also incredibly slippery during the 1 on 1 sessions so even getting hands on him was incredibly difficult. Vick might project to more of a linebacker at the next level but he put in work on the line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1522526' first='Philip' last='Loadholt III'] - 2028 Offensive Lineman - Booker T Washington</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Booker T Washington sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='1522526' first='Philip' last='Loadholt III'] was another prospect that we were fired up to watch in person on Sunday. Loadholt has started for the Hornets since his freshman season and he has the potential to be one of the better OL prospects to come out of BTW in the last decade. Loadholt isn't going to blow you away with his size but watch him go to work and you'll see a dominant interior offensive lineman. Loadholt is so technically sound with his hand placement and how his upper body and lower body work hand in hand. The BTW sophomore was right there in the mix for OL MVP of the camp. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1626215' first='Timothy' last='Cade III'] - 2028 Offensive Lineman - Fort Smith Southside (AR)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fort Smith Southside 2028 offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='1626215' first='Timothy' last='Cade III'] is the first of two OL prospects that came from out of state and really did well on Sunday. Against a really strong group of defensive linemen, Cade looked the part and while we were watching, he won match-up after match-up during the 1 on 1 session. Cade is a big lineman that uses his hands incredibly well and has a very strong base that made it nearly impossible for opposing defensive linemen to bull rush their way through. Arkansas had a few different OL prospects in attendance but Cade was at the top of the list. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1612394' first='Trace' last='Tudor'] - 2027 Offensive Lineman - Ellinwood (KS)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our final prospect on this breakdown is another out-of-stater that did very well. Ellinwood 2027 offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='1612394' first='Trace' last='Tudor'] came down from Kansas and was one of the more physically impressive linemen in the group. The strength for Tudor is off the charts and there were a couple of instances in 1 on 1's where Tudor put his guy on the turf. Now, in most camp settings, we want our guys to stay up on their feet but Tudor's strength took over. We can only imagine how nasty he is when the pads come on and he's able to drive through opponents and take full advantage of his power. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
