Brody is another prospect who I have ranked in the middle of my D2 tier.

Stoney Creek does a great job with their offensive linemen, and Brody is no exception. In short, I like Brody’s all-around game as a run blocker. He can execute a wide variety of blocks, and he knows how to finish blocks. His footwork is also quite good.

One big question remains- pass blocking. The reality is that you have to be decent at pass blocking with no pads in order to receive offers. A lot of people think that’s backwards, including me, but I guess that’s the best we can do during the no-pad period.

Anyway, as long as Brody is true to his size and practices his pass sets, I’d expect GLIAC schools to come calling. His story will be told during the Spring, and I hope to see him at plenty of camps.

Stoney Creek has had a few amazing linemen in recent years, and Brody could develop into one of those guys. Last season, Brody was a solid two-way player, but he made most of his plays on the defensive side of the ball. On defense, Brody sports an explosive getoff and solid physicality. He’s a bit underdeveloped when it comes to actual block-shedding strategy, but he was consistently able to get in the backfield with pure physicality and explosiveness (bull rush). Heading into this season, I hope Brody has put on some good weight. If he can play a touch stronger with better technique on both sides of the football, then he’ll be in for a breakout season. Considering his ranking, I obviously believe Brody is on a great trajectory.
