Oliver West | Prep Redzone Scout
The best player on this list of massive human beings suiting up to play the world’s greatest game, Catholic Memorial’s Owen Strebig committed to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish as I was finishing up this PrepRedzone Midwest feature. A literally massive commitment for Marcus Freeman & Co., Strebig is everything you could want and all the best things of a 6’8, 295 lb. OT, and he was sought after by more than 25 P5 and FBS programs from all around the country. His final four came down to ND, Wisconsin, Florida State, USC, and Miami, and for those recruiting fans who haven’t noticed, Catholic Memorial in Waukesha has been pumping out some serious talent as of late. With obvious and eye-catching NFL upside, Strebig wears his 295 well as an overwhelmingly large left tackle, and is technically sound, freaky athletic, and possesses functional mobility at his size that is very rare.
The big difference from Strebig to other OTs is that his change of direction ability, including being able to start/stop, sprint, run & break down and adjust to defenders in space, all while going at top speed and generating a terrifying amount of force at 6’8, 295. Strebig is particularly smooth and fluid when zone blocking up to LBs, and does a great job of chopping his feet, and playing and moving with a noticeably wide base and balance. His body control is elite for his size On top of it all, he possesses an great pass set, can reach and seal out on the edge, and has great reps of him lead blocking out in space for his RBs. Doesn’t get much better than this at the high school level, folks. Go Irish!
