<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1685413' first='Coby' last='Wallace'] – Offensive Guard, Viera High</em></strong><br><strong><em>Height/Weight: 6'4", 290 lbs</em></strong><br><strong><em>First Team All-County, 3.7 GPA</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Scouting Report:</em></strong><br>Wallace is a physically imposing interior lineman with good size and strength at the point of attack. He shows the ability to anchor against power rushers and generate push in the run game. His frame allows him to control defenders once he locks his hands inside, and he displays solid balance while working in tight spaces.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Analysis:</em></strong><br>Wallace projects as a strong interior presence with the size and strength to develop into a dependable guard at the next level. Continuing to refine his footwork and lateral quickness will help him handle quicker defensive tackles, but his physical tools and production already make him a notable prospect in the trenches.</p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1684059' first='Kavion' last='Walker'] – Offensive Tackle, Titusville High</em></strong><br><strong><em>Height/Weight: 6'2", 265 lbs</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Scouting Report:</em></strong><br>Walker is a tough, physical lineman who plays with good leverage and effort in the run game. He shows solid strength at the point of contact and works to stay engaged through the whistle. His build and natural toughness allow him to hold ground against defenders while maintaining balance.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Analysis:</em></strong><br>Walker projects as a versatile offensive lineman who could develop into either a tackle or interior lineman depending on scheme and continued physical development. Improving lateral footwork and pass protection technique will elevate his overall effectiveness, but his toughness and work ethic stand out.</p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1895260' first='Miles' last='Venables'] – Offensive Guard/Offensive Tackle, Seabreeze High</em></strong><br><strong><em>Height/Weight: 6'3", 290 lbs</em></strong><br><strong><em>4.2 GPA</em></strong><br><strong><em>Offer: Warner University</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Scouting Report:</em></strong><br>Venables is a well-built lineman with the size and strength to compete along the interior or on the edge. He shows good hand placement and the ability to generate movement in the run game. His combination of physicality and awareness allows him to identify and pick up defensive pressure effectively.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Analysis:</em></strong><br>Venables projects as a versatile offensive line prospect capable of contributing at multiple positions. As he continues refining his pass protection technique and lateral movement, his overall consistency will improve. His strong academics and early offer highlight both his discipline and potential.</p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2124087' first='Wilgains' last='Vaval'] – Offensive Tackle/Offensive Guard, Apopka High</em></strong><br><strong><em>Height/Weight: 6'5", 265 lbs</em></strong><br><strong><em>3.7 GPA</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Scouting Report:</em></strong><br>Vaval is a long, athletic lineman with the frame college programs look for at the tackle position. His length allows him to keep defenders at bay while working to establish leverage. He shows flashes of mobility when pulling or climbing to the second level in the run game.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Analysis:</em></strong><br>Vaval projects as a developmental offensive lineman with significant upside due to his length and athletic build. Adding strength and continuing to refine pass protection fundamentals will elevate his effectiveness, but his physical tools give him a strong foundation moving forward.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1684058' first='David' last='Thompkins'] – Center, West Florida High</em></strong><br><strong><em>Height/Weight: 6'2", 285 lbs</em></strong><br><strong><em>4.2 GPA</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Scouting Report:</em></strong><br>Thompkins is a sturdy interior lineman who demonstrates strong awareness and communication from the center position. He plays with good leverage and shows the ability to anchor against interior defenders. His balance and hand placement help him maintain control during extended blocks.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Analysis:</em></strong><br>Thompkins projects as a reliable interior line prospect with the intelligence and fundamentals needed to handle the center position. Continued development in strength and quickness off the snap will improve his overall impact, but his awareness and technique already make him a dependable presence up front.</p>
