I was quite excited to see Rocori representing well at the PRZMN Spring Showcase, albiet not surprised in the least bit. Coming out of their trenches and showing up and showing out in Plymouth is 2028 Grayson O’neal, a premier lineman in MN’s 2028 class, and although his sophomore highlights primarily come at the DL position, O’neal was playing LT at the PRZMN Spring Showcase. Strong as a bull, O’neal was shut down once he got his paws on a defender, with a good base and the ability to gain depth in his pass set, as well as work laterally to handle twitch at the top of the arc. Not sure what side of the ball he best projects to, but I’m excited either way. O’neal will hold down a spot in the top tiers of the 2028 Big Board for the long haul.

I don’t know how Rocori keeps producing absolute units of offensive linemen, but O’Neal is the next one to take that mantle for the Spartans. Bringing down a pair of 7’6″ broad jump tests is no small feat for an athlete pushing 285, and the positives continued to stack up for the Northern MN prospect. He had success on both sides of the ball during the 1v1 portion of the camp, showing off a surprisingly quick get off on defense while utilizing both nasty rip and punch moves. On offense, O’Neal did a great job of keeping the defender in front of him and often had disciplined footwork and solid hand placement. Big things could be in the future for the Rocori product.
