Expert Analysis
Scott Burgess | Prep Redzone Scout
The 6’3” 285 pound interior offensive lineman from Kansas was definitely one of the premier prospects at the event. Effective at both guard and center. Quick footwork, scrappy, and anchors well vs stronger defensive lineman. Technically sound player that is light on his feet and can really hold up against power. Didn’t lose many reps, but if he did he came right back with a dominant one!

Even as an sophomore, Corsair is arguably the states top interior lineman prospect. A powerful lineman that has played all along the line but stars from his center position. Will be one of the higher ranked center prospects in the 2027 class nationally.
Plays with very good power, good hand usage at the point of attack, leverage is a plus but shows he can play against speed due to his very good feet. Excels best in the run game currently but ever improving as a pass blocker.

I wrote about Corsair way back in September for a PrepRedzone Midwest-focused series just like this one, mentioning in my last sentence that “he’ll be a popular prospect on the recruiting trail sooner rather than later.” I also mentioned how his weight room prowess and natural strength he possesses coming into high school were big reasons why he was finding so much varsity success so early. He came into this past season already able to clean 265 lbs., toss the discus 162’9″, and was close to a 400 lb. squat. The well-developed strength and physical maturity, combined with his tape and on-field ability, all helped my prediction come true, as he used a standout camp performance at the Iowa State prospect camp to earn his first college football, coming from the hosting Cyclones of the Big12. Corsair has also has camped at Ole Miss, Alabama, Oklahoma, KState, and hit the Washburn University team camp with his Hays High School squad.
The 6’3, 290 lber. placed seventh at the 2024 Kansas Class 5A discus throw with a 146-1 throw, also threw 146’8″ at regionals, and 152’5″ at the Dodge City-hosted conference meet. Corsair went 4.85 in the short-shuttle and 7’9.5″ broad jump in April at a showcase, and squated 405×5 in early January, maxing out at 515 pounds and also cleaning 285 pounds and benching 260. An LT possessing a thick, powerful, stout build, everything about him says physical maturity and development above his age. The build, the strength, the mobility, and the toughness scream “this isn’t your typical freshman.” He’s laterally agile and a crushing finisher in the run game, with great balance and noticeable leg drive post-contact. I like watching him in space, and he was utilized well in the screen game in 2023, demonstrating the ability to breakdown in space to corral quicker second and third level defenders, and Corsair has only gotten bigger, faster, quicker, and stronger since last fall. Going to be a road-grading year for the bulldozer out of Hays.
