With four legitimate Division I prospects on the offensive line, Moeller has a bevy of talent to create serious problems. Offensive tackle Kalel Johnson, a consensus four-star recruit, will pave the way for Moeller up front. The 6-foot-6, 305-pound offensive tackle is a mauler in the trenches, has great hand placement and strike timing, and is a very physical blocker. A top recruit with dozens of offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1602663"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a8467da20371"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson is very good, but left tackle starter Patrick O'Brien with his 6-foot-7, lean 280-pound frame, could be even better. Johnson has quick feet, great first-step quickness, is very instinctive and can really create matchup problems at the corner. Very good and physical run blocker, can work to the second level and quickly fires forward, displays good feel for contact and keeps head on a swivel to look for more defenders upfield. Love his athleticism and potential. Purdue commit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1934694"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a8467da203a5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A key player for Princeton, and someone who will present a formidable challenge for Moeller's offensive line, is outside linebacker/edge Terrance Jones. Jones, who is committed to Miami-Ohio, is very explosive. He has elite first-step quickness, possesses a great nose for the ball, and is a strong pass rusher who takes great angles to the QB. Top edge prospect is hard to contain and is extremely disruptive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["481435"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a8467da203d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaylen Mercer is a proven pass rusher with great first-step quickness, a nose for the ball and takes great angles to the quarterback. Tough, physical, rugged hitter and Class of 2027 interior defensive lineman who is hard to block. Transferred to Princeton from Winton Woods, where he dominated opponents for his first three seasons. Kentucky commit has huge upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
