Expert Analysis

Prep Redzone Scout

Chelgren mauls people in the running game. He comes off the ball with the explosiveness of a smaller athlete. The Rangers’ big man keeps his hips low, which obviously helps him get under the defender’s pads but also allows him to move effectively laterally. Chelgren has a good initial punch when making initial contact with defenders. When Chelgren squares a defensive lineman up, the defender usually stops in his tracks. While run blocking is his strength, he possesses solid footwork, and his run-blocking power translates well into pass protection.

A 10-game starter at RT last season for the Rangers, Chelgren recently received his first offer from WIAC member UW-River Falls! On the field, Chelgren is very much a stereotypical right tackle, and that’s to say he’s an aggressive run blocker who excels at clearing defenders out of a run lane. Chelgren reach blocks well and takes ideal paths to maximize the amount of leverage he has against DTs and DEs. He’s shown that he’s got the ability to pick up blitzes on the fly and will lay out to disrupt the path of LBs. Chelgren looks to be the Rangers’ anchor up front and should play an essential role in their rushing attack next fall.
