Expert Analysis
Oliver West | Prep Redzone Scout
One of numerous prep football prospects popping off this season from the Birthplace of Aviation, Mansfield High School 6’5, 215 lber. had a productive month from late January to late February as he earned his first four college football offers from Eastern Michigan, Bowling Green State, Minnesota, and Pittsburg, all in the span of 30 days. Also a stud hooper, Elias Owens projects as an EDGE in college, but is a standout on both sides of the ball for the Tygers and also carries a 3.3 GPA for a balanced resume as a student-athlete. Noticeable length, good speed, and effective, heavy hands on both sides of the ball are the first three things that jump out to me, and Owens also possesses soft hands that pluck the ball out of the air at tough angles and physicality at the LOS as a blocker. He snuck by DBs all of 2022 for big gains as a pass catcher, and I like his catch radius and ball skills on top of everything else. The 6’5, 215 lber. does a good job of getting himself involved and making the most of his opportunities, especially on defense, where his hustle and speed show up when he’s pursuing the ball from his DE spot. Things have a little quiet the last month+, so look for things to pick back up on the summer camp circuit, where his raw athleticism should show up well in competitive settings.
