Expert Analysis
Jordan Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Blanco checks all the boxes as a future D1 recruit at 6’5” 295 lbs. with plus athleticism and natural power at the POA. He’s an overpowering OT that wins with strength, leverage, and a physical edge to dominate the LOS. Generates immediate vertical push in the run game to move defenders off the ball and clear running lanes. He’s a heavy striker with great hand usage and a forceful initial punch to knock opponents off balance. In pass protection, he shows he can move his feet and stay in front to keep a clean pocket. Like his anchor ability, sits down against bull rushes and absorbs the contact without giving ground. He’s aggressive at the POA accelerating through contact and demonstrates violent finishing ability. Won’t be flying under the recruiting radar for much longer.
