Assumption boasts a potential gem in the makings on the trenches in Charrlie Azzaline. While he’s a bit smaller at the moment for the Guard position, he’s proven agile and effective as a pull blocker, exploding at the point of attack, and maintaining a consistently chugging motor through the end of each play. Azzaline has proven versatile in both run-blocking and pass protection, showcasing great footwork and strong hands going against some tough competition. With some bulk over the next few seasons, there’s no telling how much more dangerous Azzaline will be controlling the trenches.

Azzaline flashes a lot of upside. His chances of reaching that considerable potential is heightened by being in a program adept at developing student-athletes. His older brother, Maxwell, is a recruited lineman in the 2026 Class, so Charlie comes from strong bloodlines. Video clips on Azzaline’s Hudl page are limited, so we’re looking forward to him putting his highlight tape together. From what is available, we see advanced physicality relative to age. More than that, he’s quick and athletic with a frame capable of adding plenty of good weight without the loss of any agility. Azzaline definitely is one to watch moving forward. He’s certainly on my radar.
