<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this report, I will identify the top performers selected by their respective position group coaches from the defensive line group.

He may have been the star of the camp in regards to the trenches. He was great in all of the individual drills and did a great job of learning from Coach Brower. You could see his eagerness to get better and the way he worked throughout the camp.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Theo was great in the 1v1 period. He challenged the OL on every rep and was someone who did not take an opportunity for granted. He came off the ball with great speed and was very good with his hands. He has a good level of compete and is able to finish the play. Theo has picked up an FBS offer and has recently been invited to an All-American Game. The East Catholic DL is a great prospect that will gain a lot of attention this upcoming 2025 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1676018,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/05/DL-61-crop-1365x897-1747612169.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1676018" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1616411"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6827aa1deab3f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Malachi is a great sized DL who is both explosive and powerful. He was able to get through drills with ease and showed his refined technique all throughout camp. The Canterbury School DL is a good prospect that was a problem for the OL all camp. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Malachi was not only strong and powerful, but was also nimble and athletic. He was able to win reps in multiple ways and was creative with his 1v1 reps. With the ability to play multiple positions up front, Malachi offers great versatility as a recruit. He showed his competitiveness all camp with his ability to finish reps and pursue the QB. Will be exciting to see Malachi compete all summer and fall in pursuit of a D1 offer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1676020,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/05/DL-67-crop-1365x897-1747612244.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1676020" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["942554"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6827aa1deab98"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hassah has great energy and speed off the ball. The Barnstable DL was a great player all camp and did an awesome job when going through drills with Coach Brower. His size allowed him to take reps as both a DT and DE. He was aggressive and showed a good motor when rushing the QB.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As a 2027, it will be great to see Hassah have a strong junior season and build his tool box as a DL. Hassah was great in the 1v1s and made the OL have to work on each rep. He will only get strong and faster which will make him a more well rounded and versatile prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1676022,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/05/DL-57-crop-1365x897-1747612320.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1676022" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1658740"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68293efbc5f9f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nate was easily noticed throughout the camp based on his size and consistent effort. The Mount Desert Island product was right at home with other bigger school athletes. The Bar Harbor native was quick off the ball and explosive on each rep. Nate flashed both strength and and quickness in the 1v1s.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It was great to see Nate grow throughout the camp and build on his already dangerous DL tool box. He displayed great poise and the ability to finish each rep. He was a constant leader of the group and someone that each coach talked to during the camp. Nate will be one of the best players in Maine in 2026 and should be someone all New England colleges should take notice of heading into his senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1676024,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/05/DL-60-crop-1365x897-1747612375.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1676024" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

In this report, I will identify the top performers selected by their respective position group coaches from the defensive line group. This group was coached by former UMass and Holy Cross Coach, Vladamare Brower.
