Doyle is a big presence along the offensive line at 6-foot-2, 290-pounds who loves to drive defenders off the ball. Has a great grip on defenders off the snap, wins the battle once he gets arm extension with a lot of his strength in his arms. Has the aggression of a college player. Run game specialist for his ability to clear out large openings for his backs. Impressive numbers in the gym who is able to translate his strength with good form to production on the field. Staggering number of pancakes over his career. Good athleticism for his size with speed to pull out around the edge to provide blocks up field. Is a multisport athlete who also competes as a state caliber wrestler. Doyle has a handful of offers to Ohio Dominican, Clarion and Tiffin, wherever he ends up he will make a college very happy. He has all the makeup of a player who can contribute for a school early in his career.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/14508409/6553f877a6773006c8dd4eceu0022u003ehttps://www.hudl.com/video/3/14508409/6553f877a6773006c8dd4eceu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1114039"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"At 6-foot-4 and 260-pounds, [player_tooltip player_id='1114039' first='Garrett' last='Dillon Rine'] imposed his game on defensive linemen all season long to earn Division III first team All-Ohio. Dillon Rine was a two-way player in his senior season at right tackle as well as defensive tackle while showing brute strength on both sides of the ball. He uses his size to his advantage with a good reach to keep defenders off him. Keeps his feet under him with his large frame showing good movement along the line. Good mobility moving side to size when taking on defenders to stand his ground in pass protection. Shows a good understanding of his area to assist in other blocks in the run game. While he did his best work on the offensive line, he was a big contributor on defence as a defensive tackle that ate up blocks to free up his teammates to make plays. Made a number of stops on his own, but plugged up holes up the middle to contain the opposing team's run game. He competes in wrestling in the football offseason as well and has dominated on the mats. Dillon Rine currently holds several offers including Clarion, Mount St. Joseph, Otterbein and Mount Union. With his size and skillset will be a fun player to watch at the next level wherever he decides to go.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16370423/653dac7590f9c00270ffa851u0022u003ehttps://www.hudl.com/video/3/16370423/653dac7590f9c00270ffa851u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["410511"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='410511' first='Rocco' last='Courtad']'s next level strength as an interior offensive lineman helped power his team's running game on a regular basis. Courtad's work in the weightroom rewarded not just his team, but himself being named second team All-Ohio in Division III. His powerful base and mechanics made defenses struggle to stop runs between the tackles. He has quickness from the snap backed with his power made for some big hits along the line of scrimmage that Courtad regularly won. Pulls from the guard spot with low form to explode through blocks to provide big running lanes for his backs. Shifts his power forward to put linebackers on skates after contact. An excellent second level block with quickness to match linebackers. Courtad is as skilled on the defensive line as he is on the offensive line. A successful run stopper because of his speed and power, able to handle double team blocks regularly. Puts in more work than his competition working in the Lineman Lab to improve his game. Courtad holds an offer to Clarion, is a player more college coaches need to watch on film for his ability to be coached and win his assignment regularly.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/profile/16097942/Rocco-Courtad/highlightsu0022u003ehttps://www.hudl.com/profile/16097942/Rocco-Courtad/highlightsu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["765903"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='765903' first='Phillip' last='Bowser'] has the size you can't teach at 6-foot-5, 265-pounds, to go with technique that dominates on the football field. Bowser is a left tackle that would be successful no matter what division he played in. He has good aggression you want on an offensive line going against a defensive best player. Quick on his feet, gets good positioning against speed rushes. Clean hips to swing open to create large openings. Has the power to bulldoze defenders with slow feet. Shifts his weight well, shows good mobility going any direction he needs to. Maintains his base under him to absorb bullrush techniques, can even drive them off the ball with brute strength. Has the wingspan to keep hands off him, strength to absorb hand checks and show no sign of despair. An offensive lineman with a very high ceiling coming off a big junior season. Has had interest from Kentucky, Maryland, Pitt, Tulsa, Tennessee and Kent State, will be a coveted piece of the 2025 class on his current trajectory. Bowser's tape is fun to watch from a young player with a lot to offer, will bring big things to his senior season.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17784328/653447559a90eb0ad4acdc0bu0022u003ehttps://www.hudl.com/video/3/17784328/653447559a90eb0ad4acdc0bu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["366882"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='366882' first='Ahmaan' last='Thomas'] plays with a balance of size, speed and power to assert himself as a preeminent offensive tackle in Division III. Thomas is a flexible player at 6-foot-4 and 270-pounds to impress on his film. He is more athletic than most offensive linemen with power to back up his style of play. Delivers a good punch when blocking against the run. Good patience in pass protection to get his feet planted, deflect a defender's incoming attack then drive them away from the pocket. Power comes from his lower body sitting with a good knee bend in pass pro to move fluidly. Moves to secondary blocking assignments when appropriate. Handles speedy blitzers with good form to take in contact then repel. Plays along the defensive line, shows a good use of leverage to get under pads at his height and extend through linemen. Picked up some good offers throughout the season, but his biggest to date came from Buffalo in October. I wouldn't be surprised to see more offers come his way as a highly skilled tackle with good attributes.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/14966703/6570a8477bd33c0bac9ba69du0022u003ehttps://www.hudl.com/video/3/14966703/6570a8477bd33c0bac9ba69du003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-657c6ec3294d3"} /-->
