Ridge is another program that I am a bit partial to as they continually put out prospects like Nate Engdahl Nate Engdahl 6'1" | 215 lbs | DL Ridge | 2026 State NJ . Engdahl does a great job fighting reach blocks by attacking the opponent’s hands, allowing himself to get free and disrupt. Man down? Hand down. Engdahl steps down with down blocks and gets his hands on, disrupting the down blocker’s path to the second level, while squeezing very well. His hans allow him to feel pressure and play from there. Additionally, this stout defender holds the point of attack extremely well and does not get move off his spot due to how well he moves his feet. When unblocked, Engdahl takes good angles of pursuit and has disciplined eyes when in the backfield.
