This is a prospect that may or may not take that big step this season, but he has all of the physical tools. Already at 6’1 255, Vincent is a big body that has the ability to block up both speedy or physical styled defensive linemen. I know he has been on radars for awhile, but if he can settle into the weight room side of things and continue to round his on field skill, I think he could take an enormous step and become an elite 2027 prospect.

Vincent Botello is another Michigan prospect with some upside. the Mitten State product has some impressive size for his age and carries it well. On film, Vincent moves very well for his size and has proven to be one to dominate trenches throughout the entire game on the local level. Vincent plays with a nasty edge that every offensive lineman needs when on the field. Whether he is laying down some pancakes or opening up running lanes for his backs, Vincent has good ability. Needs to continue to lock in and get more consistent if he wants to meet his full potential. He’ll also benefit greatly from a high school weight and conditioning program. He has a lot of the raw tools and it will be fun to see if he can tie it all together over the next four years.

I really became enamored with Lazarre-Botello last year as a seventh-grader when I watched his film. He cemented my favorable thoughts with a very good performance at the Prep Redzone Next Midwest Showcase last year, earning All-Showcase honors despite being one of the younger linemen there.  Fast forward to this season and the 6-foot-1, 255-pounder is again dominating on both sides of the ball for the Southfield Falcons 13U ream. As an Offensive Guard he’s a stellar run blocker and is one of the big guys up front that is allowing Running Back Djuan Edwards Djuan Edwards 5'10" | 175 lbs | RB Walled Lake Western | 2027 State MI to run wild every game. He moves very well for a big man and plays with the nastiness you want to see in an Offensive Lineman, consistently pancaking guys, driving them into the ground and finishing with violence. Has also started to emerge and really take off as a Defensive Tackle too. Strong, explosive off the snap and that same physically he has on offense, makes him tough to block.
