Continue ReadingToday we highlight a few offensive and defensive linemen from our Dallas showcase that stood out the most. Most of these guys are flying under the radar and are picking a few interests from different colleges after our showcase. Here are a few prospects that would be great additions to college-level football teams. We hope you enjoy reading about some of these big guys. The battle begins in the trenches and the linemen deserve a lot of credit.
Kyle Lofye | 6-4, 295 | OG/OT | Frisco Lone Star
Kyle has great size and looks like a college-ready offensive lineman. A very versatile player who can play multiple positions on the offensive line. Played tackle and guard positions very well, footwork needs improvement. However, I liked him best at the offensive guard position and I think he has high potential there or even possibly centers. He showed athleticism and speed enough to block at the next level and out in space on film. Very physical nature looks to put opponents in the dirt. I liked his footwork and technique at the showcase. Most definitely an FBS/FCS prospect.
Jalen Cooper | 6-4, 275 | OT | C.E King
Jalen has a longwing span and ideal size to be a dominant force on the offensive line. I liked his athleticism and his ability to pull around from the tackle position. He shows good footwork pass blocking and a nice solid low center of gravity as his base. He can easily glad for defenders and has a nice punch to keep them at bay. The wingspan definitely helps. I liked this lineman a lot and I think he could also be a dominant force at guard at the next level or even tackle if he can clean up the footwork a bit. He would be an elite offensive lineman. Drives defenders off the line and keeps his feet moving. Excellent prospect for the next level.
Canyon Wadsworth | 6-4, 303 | OG/ OC | Pearce
Canyon was defiantly a physical specimen. One of the biggest linemen on his team last season. Standing at almost 6-5 over and weighing in over 300 pounds. Canyon showed why he should be a well-known FBS type of prospect with his elegant footwork and technique. Showed he can be light on his feet, kick back and keep defenders out of the backfield and also pull around and kick out the edge. Very solid technique this guy had relative to the offensive guard position. I like him a lot ad should have a high ceiling in college.
Brooks Leinen | 6-4, 275 | Tascosa
Brooks has a devastating punch and can send defenders flying through the air. I liked his size and technique. On film, you will find a nasty blocker who likes to drive opponents out of the stadium or into the dirt. At the showcase in Dallas Brooks impressed many and even caught the eye of our scouting director Jacob Lemming for his outstanding numbers and performance on the day.
Ben Armstrong | 6-4, 225 | DE/TE | Rouse
Ben is a long and rangy defensive end who can defiantly find his way into the backfield and rack up TFLs. He has room to add mass to his frame at the next level and he will most certainly need to improve on a few assets of his game. However, this guy has a ton of potential. Was very impressive at the showcase, showed good athleticism and speed. On film, he can disengage from blocks with his impressive wingspan and track the ball carrier down. I can see him continuing to grow and very very versatile at the next level. Needs to put out some good film for his senior campaign.
