Expert Analysis
Oliver West | Prep Redzone Scout
In a lighter recruiting cycle for Minnesota-born offensive line prospects, Irondale’s Emerson Mandell Emerson Mandell 6'5" | 290 lbs | OL Irondale | 2024 State MN reigns supreme, and brings a different flavor to this article due to him being a solidified P5 prospect since the Minnesota Gophers became his first offer back in October. During this offseason, and especially during the spring, he’s seen his stock soar from a Midwest footprint to a nationally recruited iOL, and has seen the likes of Penn State, Oklahoma, Purdue, Texas A&M, and Wisconsin offer big-time scholarships since the end of March. You rarely see the Aggies venture this far north in particular, and Mandell is absolutely worth it, as he’s done nothing but develop, raise his stock, and improve since that first offer from the Gophers during his junior season. He’s putting in work in the weight room this offseason, and with the help of S&C coach Mac Kukowski, can now put up a 295 lb. front squat & 438 lb. back squat, 350 lb. bench, and 315 lb. clean, all of which helped him join the 1,000 pound club and all of which are continuing to rise and improve. Mandell’s strength, power, and pop at the point of attack is fun to watch, and he plays with a balanced base, can close at the second level impressively fast for his size, and has a heckuva motor + finishing ability that is a nightmare for opposing defenders to deal with. He’s a beast and a natural mauler in the trenches. Irondale is a must-stop on the recruiting trail this cycle!
