Andrew has continued to perform at an elite level as he has for Central Hardin for the past 2 years. The senior and his talented skills at tackle helped the Central Hardin offense rank 10th in overall scoring & 13th in total rushing. Besides Hobbs’s obvious elite strength that is always superior over their opposing defensive tackles, what is noticeable about Hobbs is his quick acceleration to match speeds with a defender. Most offensive linemen are described as the slowest players on the field, but Hobbs can match the speed of any quick defensive end or DB coming to put pressure on his quarterback. A lot of this will be credited to his amazing footwork and how he is able to get off his feet quickly. I also like how Hobbs positions himself before the snap as he sets his hands up at an angle in hopes of predicting where the momentum will be coming from the defensive tackle. His overall game IQ and skill at the offensive set him over the top of most offensive tackles in the state and will set him as a primary target for any college to recruit.

Tape:

Andrew Hobbs Andrew Hobbs 6'5" | 305 lbs | OL Central Hardin | 2023 State KY is another senior offensive lineman that stood out to me this season. Hobbs is a big, physical right tackle that is an aggressive finisher in the run game. He blocks through the whistle, resulting in a lot of pancake blocks. Hobbs has also shown the ability to pull from the tackle spot and pick up blocks in the open field as a lead blocker. Andrew holds offers from Campbellsville, Charleston, Findlay, and Kentucky Wesleyan, and I could see more coming his way as he has received a ton of college interest and has the talent to be a very good offensive lineman at the next level.
