. The Raptors have a couple prospects that PRZMN is particularly keen on going into the fall, Adam included, obviously, and the 6’2, 260 lber. owns a unique multi-sport background for the position, as Adam is an All-Conference Honorable Mention varsity swimmer who reports a 315 lb. bench, 315 lb. power clean, and 425 lb. squat in the weight room for good measure.
The LT earned All-Conference honors on the gridiron in 2025, and he looks like a rhino running over a hyena in the first few clips of his junior highlights, showcasing some snowplow-esque strength and effectiveness at the point of attack as a run blocker. Adam created some gnarly collisions in 2025, and his concise, balanced pass set can really generate some pop off that back foot. Plus, Adam displays impressive lateral agility that helps him reach and set the edge against 6A competition, flexible hips that create leverage advantages when he drop his hips when executing different blocks around the LOS, and he sent some LBs and DBs flying when he locked his arms out in 2025. PRZMN really was impressed by his overall body control, ability to maintain hand placement and stay sticky to wriggling DL, and finish blocks from the variety of situations. Bemidji State agreed, offering Adam in an initial round of offers back in late February. More are coming!

Jacob Adams’ stature as a Left Tackle might be smaller in comparison to the other players on this list, but his athleticism is a sight to behold, boasting impressive numbers including a 32.4″ vertical jump, a 315 lb max bench, and a 425 lb max squat. Adam shows excellent versatility blocking the run and the pass, maintaining a balanced stance with good footwork and hand placement to excel on down blocks and boasting enough quickness on the line to keep up with speedy edge rushers. Adam has a lot of strong traits as a Tackle, and with a bit of added bulk this offseason, the ceiling could be very high for Adam as he enters his senior season.

Read EvaluationHayden Lindquist | Prep Redzone Scout
Widely regarded as one of the best 2027 offensive linemen in the state, Adam put forth a ton of great tape from his junior season. He was tasked with anchoring the blindside this year, but I could also easily see him sliding into the interior at the next level. He possesses violent down blocks, and if he gets a free release to a DT/DE on one, they’re getting flattened. I like his pass-pro a lot as well. He does a great job of keeping a defender in front of him and can successfully pass on or pick up someone on a stunt. He’s quick for 250 too, and with another offseason in the lab, Adam could evolve into a premier OL prospect.

Read EvaluationNate Wahl | Prep Redzone Scout
Jacob was another offensive linemen that finished in my top-tier amongst the OL group during the live eval at the Pro MN Athletics Camp in Edina on Saturday. Jacob showed off one of the most intriguing bases in the offensive line group with good fluidity in his steps with his footwork and developing stance that I can tell has gotten more polished this Spring during early camp season. I love the way this kid finishes his blocks on tape, as even though on Saturday it wasn’t padded, Jacob showed off the drive-blocking ability that shows proficency getting to the second level. Jacob also showed off impressive character in my eyes as one you can tell has a team-first mentality to keep bringing into his upcoming junior year.
