remains one of the more intriguing under-the-radar offensive line prospects in the state and sees his stock rise. Standing at 6’8, Waxler brings a frame that immediately grabs attention and gives college coaches plenty to work with. He is still developing as a player, but the physical tools are obvious, and the upside is hard to ignore. Waxler has done a good job getting in front of college staffs this offseason by attending camps and continuing to gain exposure.

brings rare size to the position, and it’s hard to ignore at 6’8, 310. Waxler takes up space in a hurry and naturally creates problems for defenders trying to work around him. He engulfs rushers when he gets his hands on them and can widen running lanes just by being in the way. What stands out is that Waxler moves better than you’d expect for that frame, which gives him a chance to really grow into his game. He’s still developing, but with that kind of size and build, Waxler is a high-upside player who could take a big step forward this season.

‘s talent is undeniable to see. He has great size (6’8″) and moves well for an offensive lineman. During the individual phase of the practice, he did well. He seemed to excel at blocking defensive players and going against players during this individual practice time. He then struggled at times during the one-on-one competitions. He needs to continue to grow as a player. If he puts the work in, he could definitely play at the next level.

has the talent to be the best offensive lineman on this list. He has great size (6’8″) and strength. He is a little raw, but the talent is there. The question is, where will we stock up at the showcase against a good group of offensive linemen? It will be exciting to see because the potential is there.
Proud of what we accomplished this year, can't wait for what we're going to do next year!@CoachGordon10 @CoachMcCook @coachwaters21 @CoachIzzy1 @coachsmitttty @OLCoachMattox @TerenceArcher @CoachGoldrich https://t.co/93s2cQD4ci#playoffs #Oline #WV #wvprepfb #BurnTheBoats

is an intriguing prospect with raw upside that colleges will take interest in. At 6’8 310, Waxler obviously has physical tools that can’t be coached, which gives him potential as a player and prospect. Overall, he’s a raw player right now with tools and ability for college programs to mold in the future, with another year to continue developing in his senior year.

. He’ll jump out to you right away with his imposing 6’8 290 frame that will garner college interest alone. Waxler is expectedly raw as a player as he continues to learn how to use his size efficiently and effectively while feeling more comfortable moving at that length. He has a ton of potential and upside as he fine-tunes his technique and develops his body and overall athleticism that could level up his game significantly in the future.
