Expert Analysis
Jordan Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Knapik is another athletic OT with ideal size, length, and frame at 6’7” 260 lbs. Good athlete for his size that is effective on both sides of the line at Kennewick but projects as an OT at the college level with his size and skillset. He comes hard off the ball with good initial quickness and footwork to beat opponents to the spot and establish positional leverage. Good feet and mobility to be effective as a puller or move laterally to match movement and recover. He’s a mauler with good brute strength driving his legs through contact with the ability to finish to the ground. Possesses quick hands and good placement to strike the breastplate of opponents to extend and drive them off the ball. First offered by Portland State last spring and has since picked up Idaho (where his older brother was an All-Big Sky selection as a freshman), Washington State, and Montana State. Expect more D1 programs to come through and offer him as the recruiting cycle progresses.
