PRZ NY Stock Up Showcase: Top Defensive Lineman

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With snow prepared to roll into the Hudson Valley, Athletes from across the North East packed into Hudson Sports Complex to compete, and showcase their skills at the Prep Redzone NY Stock Up Showcase. This was our first edition of the Showcase, which had its own event, after pairing with NJ for multiple years. With 9 Defensive Lineman in attendance in Warwick, we take a look at some of the top performers from the showcase at the DL position, including my personal DL MVP.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While NY has had their Stock Up Showcase, many other states still have showcases.

The Valley Central 2027 Prospect, had an impressive showcase. The Valley Central Lineman, measured in at 6'1" 224-Pounds, and can lineup as an EDGE, or an Interior Lineman. He has time to grow into his frame, but at the moment I like him as an EDGE Rusher. Throughout the testing portion, he showcased some solid athleticism, along with good speed. He seemed to have a solid understanding of how to rush the passer, but seemed to be questioning himself with what move to use or how he should go about each rep. Bishopp is a solid Rusher, and with a solid tool bag of moves, and confidence, can easily be an outstanding Pass Rusher in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1575806"],"_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-695042871edfa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Arias entered Warwick, as a veteran Catholic League Pass Rusher, who has caught my eye at multiple times this season. He measured in at 6'2" 248-Pounds, showing an outstanding build for an EDGE Rusher. Arias had a good testing portion, and put together some solid numbers for a Defensive Line Prospect. He displayed a quick burst, and got out of his stance quickly. He was aggressive at the POA, and left Tackles fighting to keep him in front. He displayed a high IQ, and when Pass Rushing, he used a tool bag of moves, along with good footwork to move inside, after beating players off the EDGE. He consistently won Reps, and his Rip Moves were elite in Warwick.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1624492"],"_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-695042871ee45"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nunez was one of the veteran Lineman in Warwick. He can play both sides of the ball, but as the Showcase, he took defensive reps. Standing at 6'1" 268-Pounds, he displays good size for a Defensive Lineman, and mainly fits on the interior of the Line. He had a solid showing in Warwick, and was quick out of his stance. He had a good first step and utilized his punch on almost every rep. His hand placement and footwork were exceptional, beating each Lineman he faced, and knocking them off balance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1880832"],"_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-695042871ee8c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bucknor was a beast in person. I had to check my notes to see if there was a typo, but he measured in at 6'0" 231-Pounds, showcasing an excellent build for a Defensive Lineman. Given his size at the moment he can play across the line, but I see him ending up as an Interior Defensive Lineman. Bucknor used an impressive blend of size, and strength during Pass Rush Reps, and was a clear Top Performer in Warwick. Bucknor also displayed an outstanding IQ, and the ability to find and attack the weak points on each rep.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2077008"],"_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-695042871eed2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Measuring in at 6'2" 288-Pounds, Pierce was an impressive lineman on the defensive side. The 2028 Prospect displays a solid build, and being only a Sophomore has tons of room to grow into his frame. He currently projects as an Interior Lineman, and I agree with this. I caught a handful of Reps, and one thing that stood out consistently were his Rush Moves. His club caught the most attention, as he used this move with confidence, and when hitting the outside shoulder, used an exceptional IQ to win on the inside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1362922"],"_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-695042871ef16"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Healy was a prospect who consistently caught my eye in Warwick. He can play on either side of the line, but chose to run with the defense at the showcase. Healy measured in at 6'1" 281-Pounds, showcasing a solid build for a Defensive Lineman, The 2027 Graduate projects mainly on the interior, and had an outstanding day in Warwick. His stance was the one thing I was iffy about as on the defensive side it felt more like an offensive stance, but his power rush moves, and his IQ was displayed as he was able to cross face Lineman. He was elite in Warwick, and I see a big season coming for the Rising Senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading {"textAlign":"center"} --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">PRZ NY Stock Up Showcase OL MVP</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2076780"],"_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-695042871ef5f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Your Prep Redzone Stock Up Showcase New York Defensive Lineman MVP is [player_tooltip player_id='2076780' first='Jason' last='Sica']. Sica had an impressive combine, ranking in the top half for each drill, and showing an incredible burst with some solid speed for a DL prospect. Sica measured in at 6'0" 198-Pounds, and can add some more weight. I like the 215 mark for him. He has plenty of time as he is only a 2028 prospect. Sica was incredibly deadly off the EDGE, and displayed excellent hands which were used in Pass Rush. He has excellent body control, and understands leverage off the EDGE. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading {"textAlign":"center"} --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Prep Redzone NY Stock Up Showcase Articles</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/prep-redzone-ny-stock-up-showcase-qb-notes-part-i/">Prep Redzone NY Stock Up Showcase</a>: QB Notes Part I, by Cory Lemer</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/prep-redzone-ny-stock-up-showcase-qb-notes-part-ii/">Prep Redzone NY Stock Up Showcase: QB Notes Part II</a>, by Cory Lemer</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/prep-redzone-ny-stock-up-showcase-qb-notes-part-iii/">Prep Redzone NY Stock Up Showcase: QB Notes Part III</a>, by Cory Lemer</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=2087143&amp;action=edit">Prep Redzone NY Stock Up Showcase: QB Notes Part IV</a>, by Cory Lemer</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/prz-ny-stock-up-showcase-top-qbs/">PRZ NY Stock Up Showcase: Top QB's</a>, by Cory Lemer</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/prep-redzone-ny-stock-up-showcase-rb-notes/">Prep Redzone NY Stock Up Showcase: RB Notes</a>, by Cory Lemer</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/prz-ny-stock-up-showcase-top-rbs/">PRZ NY Stock Up Showcase: Top RB's</a>, by Cory Lemer</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/prep-redzone-ny-stock-up-showcase-wr-notes-part-i/">Prep Redzone NY Stock Up Showcase: WR Notes Part I</a>, by Cory Lemer</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/prep-redzone-ny-stock-up-showcase-wr-notes-part-ii/">Prep Redzone NY Stock Up Showcase: WR Notes Part II</a>, by Cory Lemer</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/prep-redzone-ny-stock-up-showcase-wr-notes-part-iii/">Prep Redzone NY Stock Up Showcase: WR Notes Part III</a>, by Cory Lemer</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/prz-ny-stock-up-showcase-top-wrs/">PRZ NY Stock Up Showcase: Top WR's</a>, by Cory Lemer</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/prep-redzone-ny-stock-up-showcase-te-notes/">Prep Redzone NY Stock Up Showcase</a>: TE Notes, by Cory Lemer</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/prep-redzone-ny-stock-up-showcase-lineman-notes-part-i/">Prep Redzone NY Stock Up Showcase: Lineman Notes Part I</a>, by Cory Lemer</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/prep-redzone-ny-stock-up-showcase-lineman-notes-part-ii/">Prep Redzone NY Stock Up Showcase: Lineman Notes Part II</a>, by Cory Lemer</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/prep-redzone-ny-stock-up-showcase-lineman-notes-part-iii/">Prep Redzone NY Stock Up Showcase: Lineman Notes Part III</a>, by Cory Lemer</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/prep-redzone-ny-stock-up-showcase-lineman-notes-part-iv/">Prep Redzone NY Stock Up Showcase: Lineman Notes Part IV</a>, by Cory Lemer</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/prz-ny-stock-up-showcase-top-offensive-lineman/">PRZ NY Stock Up Showcase: Top Offensive Lineman</a>, by Cory Lemer</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
