OL/DL Evaluations From The Who’s Next Showcase

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">The trenches were a small but strong group. I really liked what I saw from them. They worked really hard and were very coachable. So let's not waste any more time and take a look at these young trench players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='946937' first='Quinn' last='Gagen'] (Anderson) 6'2 285- Gagen had the strongest day of all of the lineman in attendance. I don't think he lost a 1v1 rep on the day. Quinn's anchor is strong. He also good feet and hands. He mirrored well and showed the ability to adjust and redirect. He won both versus power and speed. Quinn has really changed his body over the last year. He's already getting D1 FCS interest and I think his recruitment could really heat up this summer and fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">2028 [player_tooltip player_id='2128506' first='Israel' last='Jamaica'] (Kettering Alter) 6'2 275- Israel looked good in stature and play. At 6'2 he showed good length and he carried his 275 pounds well. He showed off good hips and bend. I was really impressed with his ability to drop his hips and turn the corner at his size. He has good feet and quickness. I'm very interested to see what Jamaica can put on film this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">2028 Javion McKinney-Cooper Winton Woods 5'9 225- McKinney-Cooper was fun to watch. He was a little spark plug. He was always the first in line. He was twitchy and explosive. He has a good motor and with his quickness can be a disrupter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">2028 Julian Perez (Holy Name) 6'1 240- I liked Perez's combination of size and bend. In the drills he showed off good agility and feet. He showed the ability to dip his shoulder and get small. His get off was solid. He looks primed for a strong junior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">2028 [player_tooltip player_id='1666443' first='Juan' last='Davis Jr.'] (Winton Woods) 6'0 220- Davis showed a good combination of size and athleticism. For me he projects to an edge at the next level. He's good in space with his hands and ability to move laterally. If he can continue to get stronger and add more physicality and his game I think his game will go to another level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">2029 [player_tooltip player_id='2203957' first='Jaylon' last='Jones'] (Kings) 6'4 210- Jones has an impressive frame for a freshman. He had great length and a thick build. He moves really well for a player his size and I would expect that he would continue to improve in that area as he continues to grow into his body. At 6'4 he's explosive and is a fluid runner. He shows good body control and athleticism. As he continues to fill out and get stronger I'm excited to see what the future holds for Jaylon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
