Expert Analysis
Alin Edouard | Prep Redzone Scout
Ryder is an offensive lineman who brings a physical, hard-nosed approach to the trenches and plays with a clear competitive edge every snap. He sets the tone with effort and toughness, showing a willingness to engage defenders and finish plays through contact.
What stands out with Ryder is his intensity after initial contact. He doesn’t just land blocks—he works to sustain them, staying attached and continuing to drive his feet. That persistence helps him remain effective in physical matchups where strain becomes a major factor.
In the run game, Ryder shows solid pop off the line and does a good job getting into defenders quickly. When he plays with proper leverage, he can generate movement and help open lanes inside. His effectiveness is strongest when he keeps things simple and focuses on staying low and connected through the block.

Read EvaluationMarcus Henry | Prep Redzone Scout
Klein is technically sound, he plays with excellent leverage and he has the strength to overpower defenders at impact. He plays with a nasty streak and he finishes blocks through the whistle. His punch at engagement is stiff and he makes his opponent feel the power he has in his violent hands. Klein saw time in the trenches on the defensive side of the ball, showing that he is stout against the run and he flows to the ball well, displaying a high motor. Klein heads to Franklin High School with the potential to see some playing time early. Franklin is a run heavy offense that fits right into the skill set that Klein brings to the table. He is a player to keep an eye for the next four years.

may be getting ready to attend Center High School next year, but the home of the Roughriders can’t get much more east in the state of Texas. It’s less than 25 miles to the Louisiana stateline, and that’s with going around the Toledo Bend Lake
– Stands a reported 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds right now, with an ideal frame for an eighth-grade left tackle. His build and length also allow him to play right defensive end at a high level at this stage of the game
– Klein does a lot of things correctly for being a 2028 prospect. He’s a smart player that understands sometimes the designed block doesn’t always work with how the defense is aligned. Does a great job of walking the line between taking what the defense and adjusting versus forcing his will on the defense
