Despite being our 9th-ranked offensive lineman and one of the most impressive in the state, Jaxon Manning Jaxon Manning 6'4" | 290 lbs | OL Liberty Christian Academy | 2027 State VA is still being overlooked by college programs. Though he’s an above-average pass blocker, where he stands out is in the run game.

Everything from his trigger step at the snap to his finish is top-notch in both the power and zone game, and he already looks like a collegiate offensive lineman who’s playing at the high school level. Manning is an excellent second-level mover as well, consistently taking advantageous angles to linebackers when pulling and climbing off of combo blocks at the line of scrimmage.

He’s going to be a standout offensive guard at the collegiate level, and the fact that he doesn’t have more FBS offers right now is mind-blowing. With that being said, he has pulled in offers from Sacred Heart (FCS), Gardner-Webb (FCS), and Norfolk State (FCS) recently.

One of the best players that I had the opportunity to see live in my two years with Prep Redzone, Jaxon has all the tools needed to be a Division 1 offensive lineman. When you get to see him live, you see how well he bends and plays with explosiveness. He excels in Gap, Zone and Pass blocking. His Jump Set is as good as anyone. No offers for Jaxon yet, but once one team bites, I expect many will follow.

Manning is a two-year starter who did not allow any sacks last season, per his X account (formerly known as Twitter). He, like his fellow offensive linemen in this article, is physical and finishes blocks through the whistle. Manning’s highlights feature a lot of run blocking, and yes, he is a road grader. Does a solid job of blocking in space. Pass-protection-wise, it’s hard to get past him.

Jaxon is a versatile lineman who can play all five positions. I like him best at Guard where he currently has good height and elite frame and size. Measured in at 6’04”, 308lbs at our recent Winter Showcase. If he surpasses the 6’05” threshold, Offensive Tackle is in play for recruitment. Very good athlete for his size and position, with very good explosiveness, foot quickness, lateral movement, and flexibility. Elite Pass Protector. Best in Jump Sets where he quickly engages the defender with a violent punch that allows him to set his feet and anchor. Shows very good set points in Vertical sets, using his very good foot quickness and lateral movement to mirror defenders. Shows the ability to counter and reset pass rush moves, which was evident at our showcase. Elite anchor, with very good knee bend and strength to quickly halt the bull rush. Very good Gap blocker, coming off the ball with very good explosiveness and pad level, creating good leverage and block fit on his assignment in Base, Down, and Double Team blocks. Good leg drive that opens up the gap for the ball carrier. Very good Pull blocker, with good timing and angles with the ability to fit and win his block. Good in Zone blocking, using his lateral movement to gain leverage with good use of hands to sustain the block. I expect Jaxon’s recruitment to heat up this summer. He has the size, athleticism, and tools to play FBS ball and will be the next great offensive lineman to come out of Liberty Christian Academy.

Jaxon has the athletic traits you are looking for in high level offensive linemen. He can bend, has loose hips and quick step and is explosive in his pass pro punch. Whether it was a Jump Set or a Vertical Set, he dominated the competition, engaging quickly with a powerful and well-timed punch. From there, he can mirror the pass rusher with keeping a grip on him and using his quick feet to move laterally. He tested very well in the initial testing portion of the camp supporting his athleticism he showed in the offensive line drills and 1v1s. In high school, he can play all five positions. Projects to be an interior lineman in college with his current size, but very well could play tackle if he continues to grow.
