, a 6’2”, 285-pound offensive tackle from West Orange High School, is a prospect with intriguing upside who could be a diamond in the rough. His smooth athleticism for a player of his size sets Jason apart. He moves fluidly across the field, showcasing the ability to block effectively in space and at the second level. His quick feet and mobility make him a natural fit for teams emphasizing athleticism on the offensive line.
While he currently plays tackle, Jason’s long-term position likely lies on the interior of the offensive line, either as a guard or center. His quickness and ability to play low suggest he could thrive at center, where his athleticism would allow him to excel in pulling and zone-blocking schemes. Additionally, his burst out of his stance and raw athletic tools leave the door open for him to explore playing defensive line.

Lining up next to Sanabria is his left tackle Jason Jones. With Jones I would say quick feet prevail. He sets an outstanding edge when reach blocking, consistently working and winning those blocks. Similarly, in pass protection he allows defenders run upfield confidently knowing he has the feet to recover and prevent defender’s from climbing back upfield. Using their own leverage against them, Jones slings unbalanced players to the ground. In terms of head-to-head blocking, Jones delivers upon short, choppy steps to get movement and can explode in an upward motion into his opponent at times. I was also impressed with his pad level when down blocking, as his back was flat and his head was up. For me to be all about Jones’ game I need to see his feet constantly pumping, consistently.
