In terms of checking off boxes, Yatchenko and Drake have to be the two linemen that come to mind in terms of who is the best OL left unoffered. Size, 6’6, 285 pounds, a frame that can move, get low and fire out of a stance. Exemplary grades in the classroom. Was a pivotal piece to a rushing attack that had ranked RB Evan Johnson Evan Johnson 6'1" | 185 lbs | LB Pine-Richland | 2024 State PA lighting up programs left and right. A pathpaver of a left tackle, one who can eliminate and displace multiple defenders in one rep. Love how low he attacks out of his stance, not much helmet rise pre- to post-snap. Powerful limbs across his body, arms can deliver a striking blow even if he doesn’t have leg drive to back him up. Powerful hips and lower body, powerful lower back too. Would love to see how he works in the weight room. A question might arise, how special a pass-blocker is Drake, considering how special a rushing attack Twin Valley deploys each Friday night. Would he be a better fit at right tackle, can he play that position? These might be questions some coaches have at the moment, tough for these questions to be cleared up in Spring/Summer camps, however. A top 50 overall prospect who is still waiting for his first opportunity.

The size is there for Drake to be an elite offensive line prospect while to the field, development is still necessary. Overall, he’s a very good prospect who will require some patience but the ceiling is very high overall. We will see what camps he attends this summer and if we can find out any feedback from those as well.

Might be the more physically-gifted prospect on this list. 6’6, 290 that can move.like the wind. I’d argue Aris Drake Aris Drake 6'2" | 290 lbs | OL Twin Valley | 2025 State PA is another name that can jump from eight to top five in a heartbeat. Aris Drake Aris Drake 6'2" | 290 lbs | OL Twin Valley | 2025 State PA is also a bit quiet on socials, my attempts to contact Twin Valley have come to no avail. Would love to see Aris Drake Aris Drake 6'2" | 290 lbs | OL Twin Valley | 2025 State PA at a camp this offseason to see if he’s improved any aspect of his game compared to his Fall tape. I imagine he has.

I’m on a constant hunt for 6’6, 280-pound linemen, especially underclassmen. My hunt led me back to Twin Valley where Aris Drake Aris Drake 6'2" | 290 lbs | OL Twin Valley | 2025 State PA caught my attention. I immediately sent his name to FBS programs I’m plugged in with, making sure to spread his name around. His tape isn’t elite yet, the left tackle has a ways to go before I’d officially stamp him as an FBS-quality lineman. Yet he is well on his way to that grade, both from a tape and measurables perspective. Drake is already putting kids in the dirt, his ability to punish kids won’t have to be taught. Shoots his hands well, his strength is going to be felt on each rep. Drake is teetering the line between good and great. I imagine programs will begin reaching out to the young man for junior day/gameday visits as we get closer to next Fall.
