Samuel is an Interior Offensive Lineman who plays Right Guard for Highland Springs. He has an elite frame that allows him to get his hands on defenders and win blocks more times than not. He has been on our radar for a while and is a fixture in our Top 100. He currently holds offers from Christopher Newport and Hampden-Sydney.

Big, wide body, lots of mass. Does a good job of getting butt to the hole and sealing blocks. Still carrying baby fat, can debate whether body needs to transform, recruitable regardless. He’s 6’3 340, and is opening holes for one of the best running games in the state. He does a good job of using hands, he creates separation, and looks strong at the point of contact. Wouldn’t call him super violent, needs to use his whole body more, tends to want to finesse with hands. He also tends to come up out of stance and gets lazy at times. That being said, still good player with high upside. Type of body you can spot from a satelite cam. If his motor/energy improve you could have something. Just want to see him finish plays more, and be more physical at point of contact. He is the type of kid that will make gradual progress. He’s not a dawg, but a big body who will gradually evolve. Once he figures out what he can be, he will dominate. If this kid really loves football, he is a high upside kid. Nice feet, big body, if the light comes on, high level kid. D3-FCS, someone will go in on him because of body. Well worth tracking through first 4 games of senior season. Need to get to FCS/D2 camps for evaluation. Should definitely have more action. Big reason why RB Eric Bryd has great stats. If he continues to develop, can climb to higher level (G5) programs though portal.

Solid height and elite size. Solid athletic ability with good balance, bend, solid foot quickness, explosiveness, lateral agility, and change of direction. Good Gap blocker, using his strength and size to enforce his will, with good sustain on his blocks creating good block finish. Good processing on double-team blocks, setting the initial block, and keeping his eyes on the second level to come off the block and seal off backers. Moves well in space blocking for his size, and shows the ability to get himself in position on Zone blocks and sustain them to create a lane for the ball carrier. Solid Pass Protector with a very good punch that allows him to control defenders and good flexibility and strength to anchor himself. Would like to see him become more light on his feet and improve his foot quickness in his pass set. Overall, a good prospect who projects as a Guard at the next level.
