is a big Offensive/Defensive Lineman out of the Yellowhammer state of Alabama. Sizing up to be 6’1 and 300 pounds, Anthony is one of the bigger and stronger offensive linemen that I have had a chance to evaluate in this class. Based off clips of him lifting, Anthony has made a habit of moving some big-time weight around while he is training–specifically while squatting. Being the rock-solid prospect that he is, it should come as no surprise that he is as dominant on the line of scrimmage, as he is. With him predominately playing Tackle at this point, he does a good job of setting the edge and bringing the fight to his opponents. The size and strength that Anthony has shown to have, aren’t very common at this level. If he continues to stay at this pace on the football field and in the weight room, the Panhandle prospect could become one of the strongest football players in the country. If that fails, there’s always The World’s Strongest Man.

A big 6-foot-2, 280-pound Offensive and Defensive Lineman with some natural, country strength. The Central Baldwin Middle School eighth-grader looks physically mature for his age and plays that way, too. Already squatting 365 for reps.

One of the more enjoyable parts of my job is finding prospects across the country who do not look like they’re as young as they really are. In the case of Reed (who is also the cover photo) he looks like he could pass for a 20-something year old man, complete with the hair and mustache to boot. In addition to his physical looks, he’s also a country-strong kid out of Robertsdale, Alabama that already stands 6-foot-2 and 280-solid-pounds. Robertsdale is just 45-minutes from Pensacola and the Florida Panhandle. He’s a very good run blocker that has little problem pulling or climbing the ladder to the next level. Also a talented baseball player, he’s not just a big body…he can actually move. Plays Left Tackle right now on a team that looks downright massive across the front. With his size and ability, I can see him playing any position across the offensive front.
