Expert Analysis
Mark Johnson | Prep Redzone Scout
Owen is a massive 6’5″ 295 lbs OT for Carbondale. I can’t recommend his film enough. The dude is an absolute mauler and bully in the trenches. You don’t have to worry about his demeanor in the trenches. He is going to finish every block with violence. The huge prospect has the hands of a heavyweight boxer. We see pancake after pancake from just his initial punch. The heavy hands are devastating. Despite his size and physical, aggressive play, Owen also brings a solid base of athleticism to play in space or to play up to level two. The junior is exactly what you look for in a HS OL prospect. Huge frame, powerful hands and anchor, plus the athleticism to play beyond the line of scrimmage.

. He is massive at 6’5″ 285 lbs. Watching through the highlights, you almost feel bad for the defense. Owen is an absolute mauler in the run game. He has cinder block hands that deliver some devastating punches. Punches that send DL or LBs in the opposite direction. The big man has solid range too. He can reach down the line or get up tot he second level and still be able to gather himself so that he can deliver those hard hitting blocks. The big fella has a powerful base and anchor to match the upper body. Don’t sleep on the junior this fall. Keep an eye out for the new film.

Lee is a 6’4, 285 lbs offensive tackle from southern Illinois. The Carbondale High School product is one of the top offensive linemen in the state. He is as physical as it gets and delivers a strong punch that knocks defenders back in a hurry. While Lee has a massive frame, he moves extremely well and plays with a nastiness that makes him an elite prospect. Lee is quick off the ball and can close space when working to the second level. He also has a knack for finishing blocks. Not only will Lee pancake defenders, but he’ll make sure to add a little extra hit. Lee doesn’t miss a chance to play until the whistle blows. Heading into his junior season, Lee’s stock is on the rise.

If you’ve been following PRZ’s National Scouting Director and General Manager Jake Lemming and his content from this offseason (you should be), you’re already up-to-date on the 2025 OL crop of talent from the Land of Lincoln and some of the potential big-time blockers within their ranks. Most of the ranked maulers already have an offer or two, or three, under their belt, but Carbondale’s

is still waiting on offer #1. Our #29 overall ranked rising junior and #4 ranked offensive lineman, Lee measures in at 6’4, 285 lbs. and knows how to use it, showing off strength, pop, and heavy hands at the point of attack, as well as good leg drive when he’s engaged, comfortability finding work at the second & third level of the defense, and a good base and lateral agility in pass protection. I especially enjoy watching him when he locks out and extends his arms to send opponents flying like a GTA NPC after a hit and run, and Lee has a mentality and want to finish defenders on every play. There’s still some work to do in his pass pro game, but it’s still solid at this point and his run-blocking expertise is physical and commanding as an upperclassman. I can’t wait to see Lee as a junior.
