A 6′, 255 lber. bruiser out of the 507 and the always-fertile recruiting grounds of Rochester and specifically, Rochester Century High School, junior Matthew Ding Matthew Ding 6'0" | 245 lbs | OL/DL Rochester Century | 2027 State MN is a two-way starter in 2025 and has allowed 0 sacks in the hundreds of offensive reps he’s posted under his belt in 2025.

As a LG, the Century product is balanced, nimble, patient, and strong in pass protection, where he’s confident and physically impressive pre and post-contact when setting himself up for a rusher. He displays good hand placement, drives through his hips after first contact, and has the foot drive and motor to push DL far downfield between the whistles in run blocking, always working to finish, and he’ll slam you onto your face if you get over your toes and off balance when working North-South in your rush. I like his active hands that you can visibly see working for ideal hand placement and leverage advantages, and Ding is strong and able to work iDL around and out of the way of his tailbacks and rushers. Good junior tape so far!
