<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After focusing on <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/12/minnesota-stock-up-showcase-standouts-defensive-line/">the most impressive defensive linemen</a> I watched during Sunday's first session of the 2024 Prepredzone.com Winter Stock up Showcase, tonight, I switch to the other side of the line of scrimmage and highlight the most impressive offensive linemen I saw.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Picked by the coaches as the top offensive linemen.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1581357' first='Evan' last='Jones'] 2026 OL 6'3 260 Rochester Century</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jones showed solid technique all morning. During the best-on-best session, he perfectly rode his man to the outside for two consecutive reps. Then, Jones countered an inside move well. Earlier, during the main session, he looked good in the technique drills. Then, he countered an inside move to finish a block. He used good footwork again to defend an inside move.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1581387' first='Nasir' last='Yeah'] 2026 OL 6'2 275 Harding</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Yeah stayed with the defender well, defending a spin move in the best-on-best. Earlier in the day, he first showed a good rep on offense with a good combination of footwork and power. His good footwork allowed him to stay with his man later on during the one-on-ones.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1264293' first='Jonathan' last='Parrington'] 2026 OL 6'1 240 Chaska</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the best-on-best, Parrington effectively defended a good spin move. Then, he showed great footwork. Earlier in the session, he set up a great pass rush with good footwork and low hips. Then, he took two or three shots to the chest but was able to re-set his feet and keep with the defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1533916' first='Tyler' last='Bicknase'] 2026 OL 6'2 230 Fairmont</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>During the best-on-best, he held his ground on a bull rush. Then, his low hips and power stoned an inside rush.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Other offensive linemen, I thought, stood out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1582073' first='Mason' last='Edwards'] 2027 OL 6'1 255 Byron</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Edwards showed good hands and hips blocking on an outside pass rush.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1248724' first='Charlie' last='Jones'] 2026 OL 6'1 260 Byron</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jones stopped several pass rush moves on the same rep with good feet and good arm extension.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1256231' first='Noah' last='Kampsen'] 2026 OL 6'1 250 Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kampsen stoned an initial pass rush move and continued to move his feet to complete the block.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1580930' first='Matthew' last='Gerth'] 2027 OL 6'1 220 Andover</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gerth showed a nice combination of agility and power. He used both as he moved his feet well and stoned a speed rush from the center position. Then, he worked with his hands - keeping the defender off balance with multiple solid shots to the chest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1581371' first='Joshua' last='La Pean'] 2026 OL 5'10 225 White Bear Lake</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>La Pean showed a great combination of agility and power. He stayed with his defender and had good, quick feet. Then, he hung in on a bull rush - which they are not supposed to do - but he still held off the power move.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
