He'll be in San Antonio,
his older brothers, Jackson and Cody are both in the NFL
but landed the same stage as the best Prospect.
All of them.
Six-foot-four 215 pounder is a long and lean line back with
the optimal building frame to continue to add weight and fill
out in college.
He's a strong tackler who hits the suddenness and consistently
ends Place quickly. As soon as he closes
Barton will continue the family tradition by playing for Kyle,
Whittingham at the University of Utah.
The nation's number one, offensive tackle comes from
the Emerald City. And Seattle Rainier Beach has Josh,
Connelly. Junior
at a school. That's known more for their basketball. History.
Caught early is a two-sport stand out. But his future is on
the football field.
The whose background though is evident. This pristine
footwork, his athleticism and is length and a natural band,
flexibility when he's playing off the tackle.
Connolly easily changes Direction, and has the balance,
the agility, and the explosion. You want from a Blindside
protector,
Alabama, Michigan, Oregon's, Oklahoma, USC. And Washington
are all in the mix for the five-star.
Greenwood Indiana Center. Grove is home to defensive lineman.
Caden Curry a disrupted player along the defensive line. Curry
is a player who gets a great push line of scrimmage
showing a quick first step and the ability to get through and
into the backfield. He boasts violent hands and his ability
to change direction and pursue on the backside makes him
difficult block.
Korea, also has a high motor
and he works his way through blocks with the quickness in
his disengagement to bring down the ball carrier.
Alabama, and Ohio State are making the biggest push while
home state. Indiana is staying in the mix.
One of the most physically imposing players in the country
is Charleston Indiana's Kiante. Goodwin
at six foot, eight, three hundred forty pounds. And with
a body that has been reshaped, and refined Goodwin has
the size of colleges drool over, but he's not just about sides.
He's explosive off the ball, plays with the nastiness, in
an age that helps him finish his blocks and he shows Good Feet
and keep him balance at all. Times as he continues to refine
this technique, the sky's the limit for the massive Goodwin.
He's committed to Kentucky,
but Allah Emma, Florida, State, Michigan, Michigan, State and
Texas A & M all having me in for official visits in the fall.
Top skill player in the Pacific Northwest comes from Vancouver.
Washington's Union, High School in receiver Tobias,
Merriweather Merriweather is a lengthy receiver

Tyler Morris. A multi-sport athlete. Morris is one of
the top track runners in the state and that athleticism translates
over to the football field.
The 6-foot 175-pound Ur
can go up and grab passes out of the area and is why catch
radius? Allows him to catch just about anything. He's also
got the ability to take a short pass and turn that into a long
game with great speed, after the catch, that
allows him to escape the secondary.
Maurice will stay in the Big Ten footprint
with his commitment to play for, Michigan.
Representing the Alamo City
is San Antonio Central Catholic offensive. Lineman. Been Rios
with a nearly 7-foot wingspan.
The six-foot-five 270-pounder
is a two-way Lyman for Central Catholic,
but he'll focus on the offensive side of the ball
in college where he can play tackle
for slide inside and play guard.
Brioche is good footwork and lateral mobility
and is a natural and pass protection.

A versatile offensive lineman out of Indiana
is Zionsville tackle. Joyita Nona
with the ability to play any spot along the offensive line
to another elected plays inside and college, but has
experienced it off of The Tackle to known as technically
sound and looks advance for a high school. Offense alignment
with strength is lower body and Good Feet. He's Adept as a run
blocker, but the violent punch but also shows the balance and
the athleticism to play in space as a tackle. I don't have
to go far for college heading just a couple.
Hours. North to play other Dane.
Speed is the name for San Diego. Lincoln to waste our
Jalil Tucker. The six foot 180 pounds is one of the fastest
players on the country, attend 500-meter guy
who brings that speed to the football field,
but it's not just straight line speed to Tucker, has
he can shift and cut on a dime
and shows fluid hips. When getting in and out of his
brakes of corner Tucker's ball skills are tremendous as
a defensive back chalk that up to his Advanced pass catching
ability
as a receiver. He's latest San Diego. Start to head to play
for the Oregon Ducks.
