These are players who may have an offer or 2, or no offers at all who should be on colleges boards and be picking up offers this spring/summer. Almost all of these guys I have seen live and in person wether at games, practices, workouts etc. Offensive Tackle is a position all colleges value highly so these are players that will be names to know for sure.
Saw Alex live earlier this fall and he is a verified 6’4″+ , with an arm length of 31 1/2″, 78″ wingspan and 9 1/2″ hands. He passes all the measurables colleges like to see. Having the length and lean frame, the next step is to just fill out with good muscle and get stronger, which will be no problem for him. Is a natural knee bender, can sink his hips. He plays low and fires off the snap getting into the defenders chest quickly with a strong punch. A good athlete, Alex shows nimble feet in both his kick-step and pulling around to get to the next level. He will play with some mean-ness to his game as well. One to always finish his blocks and drive guys down the field out of the play or bury them in the dirt. Alex is a versatile OL capable of playing center as well but spent most the season playing tackle. Can honestly see him playing anywhere alone the offensive line at the next level, he’s that good with a skill set to fit all positions/schemes. Others agree as he made Washington Co. OL of the year this past season, and being a two time 1st Team All Conference & All County. Holding 1 IVY offer already and carrying a 3.7 GPA, we will see a lot more coming his way soon.
Highlights
Colt is a mountain of a player at 6’5″ 290 with a self reported 82.5″ wingspan, you can teach that size. Don’t be fooled though, he can move all that size well. Plays on his toes, light on his feet and shows to be a good athlete who can run out in space. He will routinely pull down the line or get up to the second level taking on a LB. What I like about Colt on film is he is able be effective in a lot of different blocking styles. He can down block well driving the defender out of the play and opening up a huge hole. Can combo block, knowing when to release and slid up to get the second level defender. You will see him reach block and seal off the defender and as previously stated successfully pull and kick out the edge. That is a lot of versatility to his game that makes Colt a valuable prospect. Only thing I’d like to see is Colt continuing to get stronger in his frame, but he still packs a strong punch and can take defenders off their feet. While also holding a 4.0 GPA, he will be impressing a lot of coaches during camp season this summer.
Highlights
Myles is a tall, long, lean body prospect. He’s an athlete who can get out and run and plays with power. Shows some nastiness on film, blowing defenders up and finishing blocks. Myles has a great frame that will fill out well with muscle and he develops and gets stronger. Really like his ceiling and see him turning heads with his size & length. Look forward to seeing more of him this spring as he has a chance to develop into a D1 offer kid.
Triston is a player I have seen live since his sophomore season and let me tell you he passed the eye ball test from day one. Standing 6’4″ 250lbs; He is tall & long with a lean frame that is filling out and will be jacked muscled up dude on the OL. Is a natural knee bender who shows strong hip roll and leverage when engaging the defender. Triston can move as well, athletic and can run with a good stride getting downfield with ease. Plays on his toes while still keeping good balance and a strong base. He can pull with purpose, getting where he needs to be with urgency and impact. Along with being an effective pull blocker, he can down block, reach block and kick out block. Making him a versatile OL and a fit for most schemes. Triston will play with some nasty as well. Can drive a defender out of the play and be an impactful, violent blocker. Triston is already starting to pick up some big interest, hold 2 offers so far. His recruiting will continue to take off as more colleges get eyes on him this spring season.
Justin is a mauler of an athlete standing 6’4″ 280lbs and he packs a punch. A strong upper body, Justin will get his hands into the defenders chest and throw him out the club. Can easily put guys in the dirt and drive them out of the play. A heavyweight wrestler for La Plata as well and it shows. Justin is a dancing bear out there at tackle. Light on his feet for his size, he shows good footwork and kick step in pass pro. I’d like to see him just continue to develop his lower half, work on his flexibility as he plays a bit high at times. I like Justin as RT who is a strong blocker in both in run and pass game. With his size, strength, power and feet; Justin just needs to continue to develop and will be an offer kid this spring.
Deron is another mountain of a OT who is a straight mauler and war daddy on the line. A verified 6’4″+ and a strong physical 290lbs. He plays violent and is always looking for someone to hit. Athletic kid and moves well for his size. He pulls and comes downhill blowing defenders up. Nasty and mean when he engages. Deron will drive opponents out of the play, down the field and into the bench. He is strong, physical and a bully who throws dudes out the club. Love the way he plays and is a perfect RT in a run heavy offense. He just needs to continue to work on his frame, getting stronger and increased flexibility. That will come with development and I don’t know how he doesn’t have an offer yet. Coaches will be smitten with his play style, tenacity and motor. I see Deron having a big camp season this summer and can’t wait to see more of him myself.
