2023 Offensive Line Stock Risers

Don’t sleep on the big boys up front in Michigan! We looked at which talented senior offensive line prospects should see their stock rise this summer. Some of these guys have picked up a few offers, but none have yet to garner a ton of attention on the recruiting trail just yet. I think with a big summer on the camp circuit, their stock is going to be through the roof, and you’re going to see more offers come in. Look for them to slowly but surely creep onto more and more coaches’ radars by this fall. <hr /> &nbsp; <em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="243445" first="Zontez" last="Calhoun"], 6’4" 280, King</strong></em> A guard prospect that excels on down blocks. Calhoun fires off the ball low and shows good lateral movement skills, along with sleek footwork. He uses his strength to catch defenders lunging and burry them into the turf. He does a good job turning the steering wheel once he gets his hands on second-level defenders, making a clear-cut running lane for his back. <iframe src="https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14522243/61ecc3bc3deac5079cb8b874" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> &nbsp; <em><strong>Cooper Terpstra, 6’4" 265, West Ottawa</strong></em> An aggressive tackle with outstanding body control and some pop behind his punch. Cooper is an effective zone blocker who will stay hip to hip on his double teams and help create serious vertical displacement. He keeps his feet moving on initial contact and looks to punish anyone in his way. This young man plays with an attitude you just can’t teach, and I believe he should be playing at the FBS level when it’s all said &amp; done. <iframe src="https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/13371782/617465a4160081065ccd53ae" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> &nbsp; <em><strong>Gavin Miller, 6’4" 285, Farmington</strong></em> A smooth mover with explosive hips on contact. Miller is quick enough to block slants &amp; stunts and has serious grip strength to lock onto his opponent. He’s patient as a pass protector and can sit back in a chair &amp; anchor down against powerful rushers. <iframe src="https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15086608/617c54a79680e713d47c0957" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> &nbsp; <em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="300198" first="Edgerrin" last="Cross"], 6’4" 290, Detroit Jesuit</strong></em> An explosive big man with plenty of churn-over on his knee drive. Cross plays with excellent hand placement on the breastplate and is quite sticky once he latches on. He’s a high motor blocker that can go from whistle to whistle and will dominate at the point of attack. <iframe src="https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/13325388/615bc2ce066abf0688f6241e" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> &nbsp; <em><strong>Royce Daughtery, 6’3 290, Watervliet Senior</strong></em> Royce was a standout on both sides of the ball, but I think his future is on offense at guard. He can pull to the perimeter on gap scheme runs and easily make blocks in space on smaller but shiftier defenders. His strength gives interior defensive linemen fits and make him a trusted 1 on 1 man blocker. <iframe src="https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/12588639/61843d002ab0ba046472dd7f" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
