is a good offensive lineman with good size (6’4″) and strength. He played as an offensive guard, but he has the potential to play as an offensive tackle as well. His ability to block at the point of an attack is impressive. He is an excellent run blocker who destroys defenders trying to block him. He is good at combo blocks. He also shows a good ability to pull. He pulls and kicks out defenders well. Then, as a pass blocker, he moves his feet well and stays in front of defensive players. King-Gant has good size and potential to play even better going forward. The talent is there for him to be a College player.
Had a great time @MUHawksFB yesterday for Junior Day and Spring Practice💪🏾

advocate over the last few years. Watching him dominate this camp, I’m going to press for him to get recruited even harder than I did before. Easily one of, if not the, best DL performer at our entire event. Based on King-Gant’s current ranking, I have no reason to drop him, only elevate or maintain his current status on our site. Fantastic showing.

Jayden King-Grant immediately stands out with his prototypical offensive tackle measurables and impressive length. His nearly 6’10” wingspan provides him with natural pass protection advantages, allowing him to control defenders before they reach his frame. His hand size falls within Division I standards, reinforcing his ability to latch onto defenders and maintain blocks. King-Grant carries his 292 pounds well with a balanced and sturdy build that suggests functional strength and durability. His frame indicates strong developmental upside as he continues to add mass and refine technique. From a physical standpoint alone, he looks like a college-ready offensive line prospect.

had a shot of earning MVP but it was not meant to be. I can see why the PA scouts like him so much to rank him in their top 50 though, the young man brings it on every rep! Really like the way Gant competes he is the type of player you want on your roster, his passion is always there.

is your picture perfect, prototype guard at the FBS level. The size says it all but his violence and thirst for contact in pass protection is what really stood out to me. He has good lateral movement and hands that appear strong enough to punch through concrete. While I don’t have an exact measurement on his arm length, boy do they look like vines on tape, falling down past his thigh pad which I took note of. King-Gant is someone who is a pure bodyguard on the interior, throws people out the club in the pass game and shows some flashes at being great at wide zone concepts and down blocks. King-Gant needs more hype around him because this is an FBS guard and I believe he has a P4 ceiling.

had limited film from last year, but projects as a bigger contributor for Cardinal O’Hara next season. In the film I saw he played defensive tackle and he showed a combination of good skill and strength. King-Gant has great size standing at 6’3 inches tall. I expect he could grow even more. King-Gant should be a productive player as a Sophomore for Cardinal O’Hara next year.

Identified early as a promising guard/tackle/IDL prospect. 6’3, beefy, expected to start inside what used to be a porous offensive line unit. Albeit a freshman, I expect this kid to be an immediate difference-maker. He might not be polished to the coach’s liking, yet kids are still going to have to move this 300-pound monster out of the way if they want to make tackles in the backfield. I’ll get to see just how far along this young man is soon enough. I’ve already begun sending his name to college coaches I’m close with.

Read EvaluationCaleb Holfoth | Prep Redzone Scout
Easily the top lineman for me, did lose a rep occasionally but nobody stood out like King-Grant. Impressive footwork and foot speed for an eighth-grader (class of 2027) that is already 6-foot-2 and 290-pounds. Did a really good job of using footwork to recover against some of the faster Defensive Linemen. His length made him really difficult to get around and the Defensive Linemen who were consistently winning speed rushes struggled with King-Grant. Didn’t ask what size shoe he wore, but he had boats for feet and was still able to pick them up and move laterally well. Summing it up, he had the best size/fundamentals/athleticism combo at camp. Was named the Offensive Line MVP.

Stands every bit of his verified 6-foot-2 and 290-pound size. Has extremely long arms, is high cut and sits very comfortably in his stance. The Pennsylvania native made a big splash and earned MVP honors.
