Brody Faircloth Brody Faircloth 6'1" | 300 lbs | OL/DL Hedgesville | 2028 State WV was a varsity starting center as a freshman for Hedgesville and comes from a long line of talented offensive linemen in his family. Already in the 6’1 300 range, Faircloth’s older brothers each topped at least 6’4 with future potential to continue growing. Older brother Levi was our top-ranked 2025 OL in this past class and will head to Marshall to continue his playing career with Brody often lining up next to him this past season. Faircloth does a nice job handling usually older and stronger interior defensive linemen for his age and showed flashes of strong physicality for a freshman in his first year of varsity. Footwork, pad level, and more consistent hand use will benefit him in the future as he continues to develop but be sure to keep tabs on the next talented Faircloth out of Hedgesville.
