Bringing out some of the state’s top talent and some under the radar guys who will be given a spotlight today. The showcase Saturday was filled with some of the state’s best offensive & defensive linemen. We were very fortunate to have some of the best coaches working the event giving our athletes the best chance to not only sharpen their play but showcase their skillsets. We had some tuff competition from some of the best high schools in Texas and Louisiana. We look at some of the top 2022 defensive and offensive linemen who impressed at the star in Dallas.

Enyce Sledge | 6-4, 305ilbs DT / OL | Neville HS (LA)
Enyce was a beast at the tournament. He usually plays on the defensive line but he decided to sharpen his skills on the O-line and boy was he impressive. This bag man can move and move fast. His pass-blocking skills could use improvement but all of the intangibles are there. He can both sides of the ball very well. On the offensive line he should he could move his feet well and block defenders at the right tackle position. In his 40 yard dash, he ran a 5.44. For being a 300 pounder. He can move very well and get downfield in a hurry. I love this big guy’s size, athleticism, and physical ability. Holds 13 division one offers to colleges like SMU, Tulane, Memphis, ULM, The Ragin Cajuns, and others. Enyce has a high ceiling to be a special player in college and come in and produce right away.

Sully Burns | 6-7, 319ilbs OT | Plano Senior HS (TX)
Sully Burns is one of the most underrated tackles on this list. At 6-7, he towers over most people. Due to an arm injury, his film wasn’t as great as they would have liked it to be but, he had something to prove at the showcase. This guy was nasty. Putting defenders in the dirt all showcase long. His footwork at the tackle position, rather right or left side of the line, was extraordinary and a joy to watch. Once he gets his hands on a defender— the battle is almost instantly lost and won in his favor. A phenomenal offensive lineman who is undoubtedly an FBS/FCS level of a prospect. His wingspan, size, and athleticism, at the offensive tackle position, make him a top-tier prospect flying under the radar. His 40-yard dash was clocked at an eye-popping 5.13. For a fella his size, c’mon! Skies the ceiling for this one.
Austin Lopez | 6-3, 260ilbs OL | Allen (TX)
Austin was very impressive at the showcase. He showed he could hold his own and dominate against some pretty tuff competition. I loved his tall athletic frame for offensive linemen, he looks very athletic built and can definitely move. His 4.97 40 – yard dash time proves it. I could see this guy playing tight end at the next level as well He plays for the battle-tested division Allen plays in and receives excellent coaching and it shows. His technique is better than sup-bar and although he could use some improvement in certain areas. This is a special offensive lineman who can definitely rack up some package blocks, open up some holes on the line and get out in space. FBS/ FCS level of a prospect.
Allen HS OL Austin Lopez is showing great pass blocking skills and footwork. Strong physical guy as well. @lopezaj22 @Lemmingscouting @PrepRedzoneTX pic.twitter.com/sboBQyI6oZ

Kyle Lofye | 6-4, 295 ilbs, OL / OG | Frisco Lone Star (TX)
Kyle was solid all tournament long. He keeps a low center of gravity and a strong base. his lower body strength paired with his punch and technique make him a very effective offensive lineman. I was really impressed with his ability to keep his feet moving while blocking a defender and keep his leverage to dominate his opponent. I think this lineman is just as special as any on this list. Plays for a great high school as well and faces tuff competition
Frisco Lonestar OL Kyle Lofye has been very impressive all showcase long. He’s got great size at 6-4, smooth footwork and very physical. @KLofye @PrepRedzoneTX @Lemmingscouting @PrepRedzone pic.twitter.com/VcEOSOwLrR

Cole Strickland | 6-0, 235 ilbs, DL | Allen (TX)
Don’t let the height fool you, this D-line man can make his way into the backfield and rack up TFLs or sacks at will. He was a coach’s favorite at the tournament for his fierce competitiveness and physical play. He did not shy away from the big boys and won a lot of battles making his name known. He showed great athleticism and moves to beat defenders.
Allen HS c/o 22 Cole Strickland was a coaches favorite all showcase long. A very fierce competitor that can get into the backfield in a hurry! @PrepRedzoneTX @PrepRedzone @v_calistro @Lemmingscouting @LoganTillman @HT4_PrepRZ pic.twitter.com/346ZxBMpc3

Canyon Wadsworth | 6-4, 304 lbs OL | JJ Pearce
Canyon showed great footwork and a powerful first punch. He maintained great technique throughout the entire showcase and really impressed a lot of us watching. He has the size and athleticism at 6-4 and over 300 pounds to be a great addition for any FBS level school looking to add a great player to their offensive line. He also handles business in the classroom and holds a 3.33 GPA.
Thank you @PrepRedzone for the opportunity to learn and improve. @LoboRecruits @PrepRedzoneTX pic.twitter.com/FXGvao6AbZ

Brooks Leinen | 6-4, 270 ilbs, OL | Tascosa (TX)
Enough said here by our scouting director, Jacob Lemming. A great offensive lineman who put on a great showcasing in Dallas.
2022 OL Brooks Leinen from Tascosa was one of the top OL performers on Saturday. He measured in at 6'4, 275 & clocked a 5.38 40. His numbers were intriguing, but his tape was even better. Division 1 type talent with no offers.https://t.co/ND6zuOSFUY@brooksleinen | @THS_FB
