Here’s what we recently said about Asbury in our 2027 rankings Debut article:

“A freshman varsity starter for the Maroon Knights last season, 2027 Wheeling Central DL  Dominic Paesani Dominic Paesani 5'10" | 250 lbs | DL Wheeling Central Catholic | 2027 State WV  is one of the few defensive linemen in this class to stand out early on. Asbury was the third-leading tackler in 2023 with 51 total and 3 TFLs as an interior defensive lineman. His size will be his biggest area to follow over the next three years which will determine his ceiling as a prospect, but the other traits Asbury put on film warranted a Top 60 ranking at this time. Asbury has good short-area quickness and a high motor that allowed him to be a team leader in tackles as a freshman from a difficult position to do so. He played fast for his age and showed violent hands at the point of attack. Asbury will improve in all areas once he gets more weight behind him to hold up better against bigger offensive lines.”
