UWEC Big Man MEGA Camp: Nate's OL All-Hands Team

It took us over 1500 words to release our All-Hands Team from the offensive line group at the UWEC Big Man MEGA Camp, as their was surely some stacked competion in this group of hog mollies. What it took to make our All-Hands Team should be evident on what it means, as these were OL prospects that showed off a physical nature that college coaches want to see at a Big Man only camp that the Blugolds put on.    Demetrique is one that is new to our Wisconsin 2028 radar out of Appleton North that might not have the ideal size yet out of that class but man, could does this kid have some raw strength he showed off at the UWEC Big Man MEGA Camp. His stout frame won him a hanful of 1v1s in the younger group in Eau Claire as Demetrique was an OL prospect that the more I watched his live reps, the more intrigued I was as his dominance was evident at the point of attack and had boulder like leverage at the point of attack. Surely one to watch grow out of the Fox Cities in the 2028 class in my eyes.     AJ was another member of my All-Hands Team out of Franklin as may have gotten of my radar late at the UWEC Big Man MEGA Camp, but was one that stood his ground in those final reps in Eau Claire. The speed of the hands is what stood out the most to me with AJ as he was could quickly latch his hands with great pad-level and drive his leverage very quickly in the reps we watched. Another area where AJ exceled was the way he finished his reps as it'll stick out constantly on tape too, but his ability to constantly be violent in the reps I watched is a good reason why he left Eau Claire with an offer adding to already a handful of D3 offers to his count at the next-level.   <a href="https://x.com/AJSavasta60/media" id="https://x.com/AJSavasta60/media">TWITTER</a>     Another new name this time in the 2027 class in the offensive trenches that drew a few looks in the live eval from me is Hartford's [player_tooltip player_id='206794' first='Jaxon' last='Rolsma']. The 6'1 255 pounder picked up his first offer a few days ago from Dordt (IA) and was one at the UWEC Big Man MEGA Camp that you can surely expect should get a few more by the end of the summer. I was really impressed with how Jaxon showed off his finishing ability last Tuesday as he showed it off pretty persistently in his 1v1 reps. Especially was intrigued with Jackson as a run-blocker as you could tell if their was a RB behind him that they could find efficency on inside runs at the second level. He's one with plenty of blast in his hands that doesn't take long to pop out on tape.   <a href="https://x.com/JaxonRolsma" id="https://x.com/JaxonRolsma">TWITTER</a>     Another Minnesotan out of the Metro suburbs that I thought had a sound showing at the UWEC Big Man MEGA Camp was Eastview 2027 [player_tooltip player_id='1361678' first='Joe' last='Woodruff']. I liked what I saw with how much power he could generate from his fluid first step in the reps I got to watch. In a few of Joe's reps, you could see the penetration and leverage Joe could get into the second level which was enlightened to watch out of an Eastivew program that has a couple studs in thieir offensive trenches just one offer thus far at the D3 level, but he was one that if I were a coach in the WIAC that I would take a hard look at after his live eval in Eau Claire.     The first Western Wisconsin offensive linemen to get onto my board a few times on Tuesday at the UWEC Big Man MEGA Camp was Baldwin-Woodville's [player_tooltip player_id='1689577' first='Landon' last='Peavey']. He was one of the more well-rounded Wisconsin offensive linemen I got to watch in Eau Claire and checked off a handful of boxes with agile hands that could refit when needed and also showed off balanced footwork underneath him in the reps I got to watch. He's one that if you flashback to what I saw last year at this same camp in his write up that you will like to see the great growth he's made not only from a measurables perspective, but the position flexibility he has on the offensive line would also intrigue me if I were a college recruiter recruiting Wisconsin. Picked up his first offer from the UWEC staff last week as well!     Another year at the UWEC Big Man MEGA Camp, and another year of a OL/DL from powerhouse Annandale that caught my radar in the live eval, as last Tuesday it was in the offenisve trenches with [player_tooltip player_id='2056781' first='Kane' last='Fobbe']. I remember watching their game at Holy Family last season and recalling the big bodied left tackle that fed RBs big holes which was Kane. What I saw from a growth perspective from last fall, was an offensive linemen that was more balanced with his hands, especially in the pass-pro reps I got to watch in Eau Claire. He's still got a solid first step for his size and saw that fluidity grow on Tuesday night too. I remember back in our NFN days when Annandale was starting to pop off on the recruiting trail and now a lot more folks are recruiting there, but Kane might be an under the radar hog molly you want to know for the Cardinals with a couple D3 offers already this summer.     The note I had logged in my notebook that described Peyton on his first look at the UWEC Big Man MEGA Camp was fiery, which is always one of the best words you can find to describe an offensive linemen's hands. The 5'11 315 pounder from SPASH, not only showed off the great hands in Eau Claire, but I thought Peyton was one of the more relentless blockers at the point of attack with a high motor that was hard to miss. He's another one out of this list that the Blugolds made an offer to after camp on Tuesday as when you roll the tape on Peyton, you see a meat-grinder type of offensive tackle that has a few WIAC offers already.     We move right down the road on Hwy 55 to Buffalo, to an offensive linemen that has really intrigued me with his growth in the live evals this summer which is Bison hog molly [player_tooltip player_id='1629862' first='Matthew' last='Babatz']. He's gotten much more balanced with his run-blocking and pass pro entering his senior season as another area where Matthew has grown off the eye test is a more athletic base than a year ago. College coaches are also seeing the growth I have been tracking for a couple of years now, as Bemidj State, Augsburg, Southwest Minnesota State and of course, the hosts of the UWEC Big Man MEGA Camp have all offered in the last couple weeks. His refiting and drive blocking ability was another live eval skillset that popped out in Eau Claire for Matthew.       From what I can recall it seems to be a common trend that we find trench monster out of Centennial on our lists at the UWEC Big Man MEGA Camp almost every year and this year was no different as [player_tooltip player_id='2226720' first='Ethan' last='Tran'] came to the attention of a couple of our PRZ scouts in attendance. The just under 6'0 280 pounder, was just straight up nasty with his hands and drove a few DLs for a ride in the board drill with how physical he was generating power with hands that also had sound pad-level. Surprised Ethan doesn't have an offer yet from his performance in Eau Claire last Tuesday as was one of the more physical offensive linemen in attendance.     An Outstater from southern Minnesota that I watched his tape just last week before camp that caught my attention at the UWEC Big Man MEGA Camp on Tuesday, was Randolph's Nate Sheridian He was a member of Mark Johnson's OL All-Camp Team already, but as you have heard all the time, when muliple PRZ scouts catch one athletes attention, it's really good sign that they had a great day at camp which is surely the case with Nate. He was one that generated much faster foot speed than you would expect and finished in the top-tier out of the offensive line group as Nate really overwhelmed DLs with his hands on the handful of reps I was able to watch in Eau Claire. He more than doubled his offers picking up three at camp from UWEC, Augsburg, and Augustana (SD) from last Tuesday.     Chase is now 3/3 at catching my attention at camps and already that number is at two in the back to back to back camps I have scouted him the great state of Wisconsin this spring and summer. He was another one that I would put in the top-tier group out fo the offensive line group at the UWEC Big Man MEGA Camp as in those back to back camps, I don't think I have seen Chase lose a 1v1 rep yet this summer in the pair of WIAC prospect camps I have been to. Chase also I felt grew a bit when it came to his footwork from what I saw last summer as he was quicker at setting his base and yet again showed off great pad-level and excellent leverage. I have to say even with a bunch of WIAC offers, I am surprised the D2 level hasn't locked in yet with an offer for Chase but that could surely change soon.

It took us over 1500 words to release our All-Hands Team from the offensive line group at the UWEC Big Man MEGA Camp, as their was surely some stacked competion in this group of hog mollies. What it took to make our All-Hands Team should be evident on what it means, as these were OL prospects that showed off a physical nature that college coaches want to see at a Big Man only camp that the Blugolds put on.
