The Verona Hillbillies are historically a really solid and strong program. Their players are well coached and technically sound. The 5’10” 205lb OG/DT Shane Costigan Shane Costigan 5'10" | 205 lbs | OL Verona | 2024 NJ is a quintessential type of player Verona produces. As a junior, Costigan make 61 tackles, 1 sack, and 4 hurries. After watching his film, I would not be surprised if he had near a dozen tackles for loss.

We will start defensively. Costigan is quick off the snap of the ball and fights pressure. Right there, he is an automatic winner at DT. His quickness helps him get into the backfield and fighting pressure never takes him out of position. Costigan has been asked to play edge rusher at times too. When taking on a double team, he does a great job knifing through or swimming through to get one-on-one with an o-lineman and make a play. Costigan also does a great job of getting hands on, straining, and then separating from defenders. When tacking, Costigan should remember to keep his feet buzzing through contact for immediate stops. Offensively we see that Costigan gets to the second level very easily, and then sticks to LBs like glue. He has the Hillbilly grittiness where he wants to finish every block. I mentioned being technically sound before for a reason: Costigan controls the chest plate of is assignment and keeps a nice base when drive blocking. Quick feet allows him to win position form the snap of the ball. When asked to pull, Costigan keeps his eyes inside and will pick up the first immediate threat. One area for Costigan to be cognizant of is in pass protection, he should keep his hands close to him until a defender approaches, punch, then recoil.

I love Costigan’s game. He does so many things well and is a product of strong coaching and discipline. He is a blue-collar prospect that is certain to make a college coach somewhere look like a genius one day.
