Expert Analysis
Will Helms | Prep Redzone Scout
Jefferson is a guy Matt Morrow has scouted in person plenty of times, and the senior has really stepped up his game down the stretch. He took home several All-Conference and All-Area awards and remains one of the top uncommitted offensive linemen.

The best way to describe Nolan is that he’s just a very passionate player on the offensive line. He’s got a relentless motor to where he’s going to block you to the echo of the whistle, no matter if he’s run blocking or in pass protection. Nolan is athletic and shows the ability to get out and pull in space, as well as working in combo blocks to the 2nd level in the running game. Nolan currently has offers from both Hampden-Sydney College and Brevard College, and either one would be lucky to add him to their respective programs.

Jefferson is an impressive interior offensive line prospect who has put on some weight and improved his technique as a senior. He’s at his best as a puller, because he has the athleticism to stay square and get to linebackers or even safeties in the open field. We like his I.Q., and his ability to play center as well will help him on the recruiting trail.

There were some talented offensive linemen on both teams in this one, however when I watched the clips, I thought Nolan was the one who played the best overall in this game. When Palisades needed something in the running game, they ran behind him and usually with some good results. I thought Nolan moved his feet well in pass protection and exhibited some nice run blocking fundamentals as well. I didn’t remember seeing Nolan get beat on an individual pass rush from his side either. Overall, the Pumas will go as far as their OL will take them, and Nolan gives them a chance to go pretty far in my opinion.

Nolan is another hard-working player whom I have evaluated previously as a quick and hard-working lineman with a strong motor. I was happy to see that he picked up an offer from Brevard after his performance at the camp. Palisades overall had a very impressive day in racking up offers, and the work ethic Nolan demonstrates consistently on his highlight film has started to pay off for him in a big way. Nolan also previously had an offer from Hampden-Sydney College.

Jefferson is a versatile interior lineman with experience at both guard and center. I like him best as a center due to his size and lateral quickness. He’s able to climb to the next level and he’s always looking for work. That’s a trait college coaches will love and he’s a guy I think could rise later in the rankings.
