About Noah
Expert Analysis
Mark Johnson | Prep Redzone Scout
You will be hard pressed to find a more talented uncommitted OL in WI. Noah has such a high level of talent in so many key areas of the OT position. He has elite size and length at 6’5″ 280 lbs. More importantly is how well Noah uses that rare size. The strength is off the charts. Noah has the power behind his heavy hands to deliver devastating initial punches. The pancakes piled up this season, with many being after that first contact. Along with the power to reset the line of scrimmage 5+ yards downfield, Noah also has the range to reach DL or get up to the second level. He also has a reliable pass set that he can get deep in to cut off speed rushers trying to get around the edge. The big man has shown he is light on his feet, can move and mirror pass rushers, and when he sets his anchor is able to stand up DL on the spot. Draeger has seen plenty of recruiting attention, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some high level teams check him out now that the early signing day has passed.

Another top uncommitted prospect who dominated the day is Hortonville’s LT Noah Draeger Noah Draeger 6'5" | 280 lbs | OL Hortonville | 2024 State WI . The 6’5″ 280 lbs senior has developed into a very well rounded prospect. In the run game, Noah is agile enough to be able to always get himself in position to have the leverage advantage. He got to the second level and delivered massive blocks on LBs all night long. Noah also showed to have the power to move the line of scrimmage downfield with his blocks on DL. In pass protection, Noah did great using his length to make contact and steer his man. He also showed a strong anchor. Most impressive overall was his nimble feet. Draeger is so big, but is able to move so easily because of his light feet. He has so much potential to tap into still also. Big things ahead for Draeger.

It was great to see one of the top uncommitted OTs in WI show out. Noah checks in at an impressive 6’5″ 285 lbs and his play is just as dominant as his frame suggests. His power overwhelms the DL. He can run them off the ball and his punch alone has shown to have the power to put kids on the ground. Draeger also shows on tape to have the range to get up to the LBs and land key blocks. Noah’s body control at his size is also college level quality. Whether engaging level one or attacking level two, Noah doesn’t get caught reaching and you don’t see him getting off balance. He stays square and maintains his technique from snap to whistle. Draeger has piled up a few offers since the camp. Great to see him picking up steam.

One of the most impressive athletes on the hoof is the 6’5″ 290 lbs OT out of Hortonville. One of the most impressive parts of his game is that he is able to dominate in both power or zone blocking schemes. There are plenty of examples of him bulldozing out of his stance with his wide, powerful base and heavy hands. He will reset the line of scrimmage 5+ yards down the field and bury defenders. Then the next play you will see him running laterally while maintaining his block and getting the leverage needed to wall off the defender. His athletic lower body and powerful upper body should have the next level excited. Don’t overlook him.
