This group brings a lot to the table including nuance, balance, footwork, and the mentality to win. </p>    <p class="text-gray-700">Though Robinson has a frame built for the next level - his athleticism, coordination , and footwork makes the 300 pound lineman move like a linebacker</p>   <p>His quickness off the snap and lateral movement is impressive. He uses this to gain leverage and expand rushing lanes with a knack for angle/double team blocks.</p>   <p class="text-gray-700">In the pass protection his athleticism shines even further. His active feet, quickness, and wide frame allows him to shadow rushers while staying square. This comfort in space while on an island adds value to his profile and upside. Robinson's dynamic athleticism, D1 frame, and skill set is sure to catch eyes this season and makes him one of the more intriguing lineman in the state.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JAMARIROB70/status/2065600547277656553?s=20 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">Devoe's game is defined by strength, consistency, and nuance. His ability to move guys is impressive, especially given his effectiveness in multiple ways. While having enough grip strength to stop an engagement on contact, he also has the leg drive to generate lanes and move linemen against their will.</p>   <p class="text-gray-700">From a technical aspect, Devoe is  an advanced-level lineman. He's comfortable in space against rushers, maintains his cool when the pressure is on, and always seems to remain fundamentally sound. He has a solid base to anchor himself, excellent timing, and hand placement. While usually being the first to make contact, he still stays square and forces guys to get to their second move.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JordanDevoes/status/2063592560069665215?s=20 </div></figure>    <p>Athletically, Sullivan is one of the more gifted offensive linemen in the state. The rare mobility, quickness, and overall movement skills make him an asset on the line regardless of scheme. This agility in space is highlighted when working to the second level and routinely gets hands on quicker players.</p>   <p>When working in the traditional role, Sullivan has the quickness to stay in front and the strength to re-anchor against a bull rush. While maintaining his balance, he resets, withstands, and finds a way to recontrol the engagement.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/sawyersully/status/1989447636433473756?s=20 </div></figure>    <p>Pratt's functional athleticism, loose hips, and mobility make him a high upside lineman who thrives in the run or pass game. In addition to a solid athletic profile, his skill and feel for the game are strong. The confidence through the reps comes from his ability to control engagements with his elite wingspan. He can keep himself clean, maintain leverage,  and route rushers off their angles.</p>   <p>The balance in his profile is promising. He's strong enough to engage in hand-to-hand combat, has the quickness to get on the perimeter, and has the refinement to take on edge rushers. Rather, it's getting movement for the ground game or protecting his QB- Pratt is one of the more underrated linemen in his class.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Jaydenp65/status/2012810469208207746?s=20 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">Casey's blocking profile is built on technical refinement and functional balance. He processes movement up front, handling stunts and games with disciplined footwork and a wide, anchored base that neutralizes interior pressure. His hand placement and grip strength allow him to lock out and control defenders through the rep, while his length provides a margin for error in pass sets. Casey's consistency and mechanical soundness project as a stabilizing presence along the interior.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/GreysonCasey50/status/1987672114581901771?s=20 </div></figure>
