RETURNING STANDOUT

2027 OL/DL Owen Stanley will be one of the anchors of Elkins’ line on both sides of the ball this season. Stanley brings the size and strength to control the line of scrimmage, making him a difficult matchup whether he’s opening running lanes or plugging them. His two-way value is a major asset for the Tigers, providing stability in the trenches and allowing Elkins to maintain its physical identity throughout the game. As one of the veteran leaders returning up front, Stanley will have a big hand in the Tigers’ pursuit of another playoff run.

2027 Elkins DL Owen Stanley made a notable climb in the rankings after a second look at his junior film highlighted just how disruptive he can be in the middle of a defense. At 6’3 290, Stanley brings a combination of size and power that is difficult to find, and those traits consistently show up on tape. He does a good job of occupying blockers, creating congestion at the line of scrimmage, and making life difficult for opposing offenses. Stanley also offers intriguing two-way value, with the frame and physicality to project on either side of the line. The size alone will attract college attention, but his upside as a developing lineman is what makes him an even more interesting prospect heading into his senior season.

2027 Elkins DL Owen Stanley brings the kind of size that changes how offenses have to operate inside. Stanley anchors the middle at 6’3 300, and makes it hard to find space between the tackles.

It’s an imposing interior presence that offenses have to game plan around.
