Friend is one of the top offensive linemen returning across the region in 2025, and checks into our rankings as a top ten player at his position and should have a huge Senior year for the Knights. He is a strong built prospect that excels at blocking in tight windows and gets immediate vertical push off the ball with a good initial strike and leg drive through out his progression. In pass protection, he stays within his frame, has patient hands and can reset if needed or kick out speed rushers coming upfield. He is very technically sound for the position and already well equipped for the college level at the D3+ ranks.
