Expert Analysis
Caleb Holfoth | Prep Redzone Scout
Blake, who helped Brighton to a sectional title and one of their most successful seasons in a couple of years, picked up an offer from Utica – when I saw Brighton, Blake was their top OL prospect with his size and ability to move guys around.

Blake is one of the returning OLs for Brighton who has measurables that project to the next level. The Center shows on film a really solid explosiveness out of his stance. He is quick to get his hands inside and, overall, seems to move well on film. You don’t see much outside of some reach blocks and down blocks from the C position, but based on the tape, Blake shows some traits that translate to the next level.

is an upcoming senior that was able to handle the trenches extremely well as a center, guard, and NT for Brighton in 2023. The want and willingness to drive the opposition into the turf was tremendously consistent throughout Blake’s film. So many times, Shawn would take his block in front of him and pancake them into the turf with his pure leverage. Winning at the point of attack was off the charts for this young man, and down blocking is one of his biggest strengths in the run game. I was also amazed by the get off that Blake had off the snap of the ball, and the push that he was able to create in the run game. The pure will to win each battle, you can tell, just screams off the tape when you watch Blake make a block for his teammates. Even when Shawn had to make a pull and lead block, Blake had tremendous quickness to get to the defender. Right when Blake got to that defender on that pull block, he took him right out of the play in a second to create the lane for the ball carrier. In pass protection, to no surprise, Blake had good leverage and a strong ability to combat quick inside moves. This not only is one of the best offensive linemen to watch, but one of the best football players to watch coming into 2024.
