A senior offensive lineman ranked just outside the top 200 tagged me in his most recent highlight tape against Chichester High School. Going to his Hudl, I decided to peek into his first three game tape, which gives me about 150 seconds, or two and a half minutes, worth of production from a prospect who has flirted with a Division I grade in the past and, quite frankly, still does today.

The first rep on tape is a goal line snap with him stationed at left guard, bulldozing a defender nearly 10 yards off the ball. Love this rep. It proves he can generate power without much of a lead up. He is working out of a tight set, meaning there is no opportunity to build momentum before contact. He simply gets out of his stance, chugs his feet and moves another human being. Some linemen struggle in these situations because they rely on pulling or gathering momentum before arriving at contact. This young man proves he can generate power strictly out of his stance and through his lower body movement.

Run blocking is his calling card. He can comfortably pull from either guard position but looks particularly comfortable pulling from the left side. Arrogant, and I mean that in a good way. He is a tone setter. Aggressive. He carries the demeanor you want out of a mean, massive guard who genuinely seems to enjoy bullying whoever lines up across from him.

He might ultimately fall to the D2 level, but he will be a steal for a PSAC program out east or really anywhere in Pennsylvania. Great motor, great demeanor and great production. I witnessed a ton of pancakes throughout the tape. Consistent driver is probably the best way to describe his game. He latches on and drives until the whistle.

There is real value here for a run heavy offense that likes to move its guards, and there are enough pass protection reps sprinkled throughout the tape to show he isn’t a one trick pony.

Scott Youngblood Scott Youngblood 6'2" | 265 lbs | OL Wissahickon | 2027 State PA is an excellent interior offensive lineman for Wissahickon. His ability to fire off the ball and run block is good. He is a devastating run blocker. With his size (6’2″) and strength, he can overpower defensive players. Then, when he has to pull, he is equally as good at that. He is especially good at wrap blocks with his ability to lead up a hole for the running back. Then he shows good ability to move his feet as he blocks on-screen passes. Youngblood is a super-talented offensive lineman.
