Expert Analysis
Oliver West | Prep Redzone Scout
PrepRedzoneWI lead scout Mark Johnson and I were lucky enough to get a look at Stoughton’s behemoth of an OT Griffin Rousseau while he was a young 8th grader at one of TheLine Showcase’s earliest events, and it was easy to tell he had a P5 ceiling and had the chance to be a heckuva player one day. Fast forward a few years and Rousseau is now a 6’7, 305 lb. upperclassman representing Wisconsin’s 2025 class well, and he’s seen those years of hard work pay off this fall. After his first offer rolled in in early June from Wisconsin-prospect-lovin’ Bart Miller and Bret Bielema from the Illinois Fighting Illini, Rousseau grabbed an offer from 2023 pleasant surprise performer Duke and is receiving a ton of attention from the likes of Minnesota, Syracuse, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Dartmouth, Ohio, and NDSU. The junior film will be a big reason more P5 offers come in, and the 6’7, 305 lber. is off to a solid start in 2023. The strength and physicality are the #1 most exciting things about his current resume as a prospect. He’s dominant at the contact point against all kinds of opponents, but there is a lot more to his game that should get a prospective college OL coach fired up. With a legit 6’7, 305 lb. frame with more room to fill in, Rousseau can bend pretty well in his stance for a 6’7 OT, is a vicious puller, and is quite comfortable getting out into space and breaking down to handle smaller opponents, which also translates to him working to the second level easily. He has noticeably and impressively powerful punch and is strong at the point of attack, possesses good leg drive once engaged, always works to finish, and sends opponents flying once he locks out and extends his arms. In addition to his run-blocking prowess, Rousseau has experience in pass pro and shows he can drop and gain depth to handle speedier rushes upfield. He’s balanced when adjusting laterally or in pass pro and is patient when timing up his punch. He already looks built for B1G ball and will see more offers roll in during what will be a fun junior season for the junior.
