There was a lot of tough trench warfare battles and competitors at BSU’s small school team camp last week. Rising amongst the heap of bodies to hit the grass throughout the various exercises, scrimmages, mixers, and of course, the War on the Shore, was Pelican Rapids‘ Edwin Escobar Edwin Escobar 6'0" | 245 lbs | DL Pelican Rapids | 2027 State MN . Undoubtedly one of the best lineman in attendance, Escobar put together a stock rising performance in all aspects, and he firmly supplanted himself on Bemidji State’s radar, working out for the Beavers’ staff personally between sessions. A naturally big, wide, and strong 6′, 250ish with very little body fat for the weight, and boy did he have some power in his hands and backing those shoulder pads. Escobar also knew how to shed blocks, as well as read and diagnose run plays and blocking schemes IRL and as they develop.

During War on the Shore, Escobar was absolutely erasing ball carriers when he gets ahold of them, and he he was shocking, shedding, and then reading and triggering on the football with impressive quickness and obvious intensity from the DL spot. Made some crushing tackles and a TFL or two throughout War on the Shore from his DL spot and also was playing OL and paving the way for his tailbacks and QB the whole time. Kid’s in good shape too.
