The 2nd center I am profiling for this State Tite Game match-up, Khalif McNear Khalif McNear 6'2" | 280 lbs | OL/DL Roman Catholic | 2026 State PA , is a talented player. His ability to block interior defensive linemen is good. What I love about his film is that he can block in many different types of schemes. He can power drive him off the ball if it is needed, but he is also a good zone blocker. He is also athletic enough to pull and block downfield. McNear is a good player who will need to block well to help Roman Catholic win a state title..

He has long arms and an excellent reach to help him block edge defenders. As a run blocker, he shows good strength as he drives them off the ball well. As a pass blocker is where he seems to be at his best. He has those long arms, and he is able to move his feet and extend those arms to prevent edge rushers from getting around him. McNear needs to improve in some areas with his technique, but he is a good prospect in the 2026 class.

McNear needs to get better with his technique, but he has the strength and size to be a good player going forward.
