Expert Analysis

Last but not least, we head back to the Show-Me State for one more big-time Missouri-made freshman. Already 6’5, 300+ pounds, Battle High School’s Ace Herman-Dawson brought a decorated youth football resume and high school-ready size into the Class 5 competitor Battle and had a great showing manning the all-important LT spot for the Spartans. Also a prolific talent on the camp circuit, Herman-Dawson saw his on and off-field success culminate in an exciting first offer from FBS UNLV almost a week ago, adding to what is around a double-digit list of Show-Me State freshman to hold a D1 offer going into the summer of their sophomore year. A tall, big-bodied freshman who does a good job of firing out of his stance and staying engaged to wiggly defenders, I like Herman-Dawson’s strength in the run game, as he blocks, finishes, and flashes physical dominance that you’d hope to see in a kid of his size. He’s got good leg drive after contact, is comfortable in pass pro and shows good balance for a young lineman of his size, and has a nasty streak that I love to see in a young OL. The 300 lber. is looking to plant you into the ground as hard as possible and in both run and pass-blocking scenarios. Still needs to do some work developing his body and mobility, but there’s plenty of time left in this Missouri product’s recruitment and high school career.
