Read EvaluationAlan Popadines | Prep Redzone Scout
– Blanchette is a prospect in the process of reclassifying from 2027 to 2028, as is pretty common in the New England Prep School world.
– Had a good season at St. John’s Prep (Mass.) but will be off to Lawrence Academy (also Mass.) this upcoming season, to re-start his high school clock
– No bones about it, he’s a load on the O-Line. Has played Right Tackle before, but he’s a mauler and a road grader. Best suited as an interior blocker, enabling him for domination in zone or man-on-man blocking schemes.

Formerly a 2027 stationed out of St. John’s Prep (Danvers, MA). Now a reclass to 2028, the ever-intriguing Vayden Blanchette is ready to reset his blooming high school career at the Lawrence Academy. Kuefler and Tikue are additions that are likely to effect the W/L totals this coming Fall. However, this pick-up of Blanchette is a move for the future, a puzzle piece that should have the TLA coaching staff buzzing. Blachette’s tape showcases his prowess at ROG/LOG. Was asked to pull, not the smoothest mover but a young man who carries a ton of forward momentum behind his 300+ pound frame. A paver in the run game, tape pops when pulling but has equally impressive blocks head-up and when down-blocking. Huge upside in terms of size, huge plus in terms of early experience too. Interested in knowing where TLA will place Blanchette, I’m expecting he’ll stay IOL, might flirt with center or IDL too.
