Bluefield’s Jaden Francisco Jaden Francisco 6'4" | 255 lbs | DL Bluefield | 2025 State WV is an underrated prospect from Southern WV who doesn’t get talked about enough among the state’s best big men. He’s a big strong interior defensive line prospect with the versatility to play offensive line in college as well. Francisco is a highly physical player and does a great job splitting double teams from his low leverage and quick first step. He’s very athletic for his size and shows good short-area quickness and ability to redirect mid-play. Fransico consistently wins at the point of attack and will develop into even more of a dominant defensive interior with further development of his hand use. That will allow him to become more of a pass rusher from the interior where he’s already a very good run-stopping defender. Francisco can create havoc in the middle and blow up inside runs while demanding double teams that you often saw on his junior highlight tape.

If his measurables check out and if he takes the next step in his game as a senior, Francisco has the talent and athleticism to warrant some D1 looks and will be a steal at the D2 level if he ends up there.
