Oliver West | Prep Redzone Scout
The Defensive Line MVP from the South Dakota State Prospect Camp #2 reps the 402 and Columbus, Nebraska. 2028 DL Payten Andresen told PRZ after the camp that he didn’t have a lot of college attention coming into the Jacks’ camp. Well, consider that changed, as the 2028 had a fantastic showing in all three phases of the camp and especially during 1v1 pass rush reps. I don’t want the reader to think that using the term well-rounded downplays the effectiveness of Andresen’s game in Brookings, but that’s exactly what he was: well-rounded. The 6’2+, 225 lber. could win with his get-off, his bend, his power, or his quickness, and his twitchy inside move and jab step were capable of beating every OT in attendance to their inside shoulder. Plus, he tested well, highlighted by a 4.6 shuttle and 8’8 broad, and his strength and balance created a powerful base that was finishing rushes on his mark through contact. Some strong junior tape is really going to propel Andresen into the scholarship recruiting sphere in a couple of months.
