Lucas Hardeman Lucas Hardeman 6'1" | 220 lbs | OL Folsom | 2024 State CA , Folsom HS
Hardeman is one of the most technically sound lineman across Northern California and has been starting for one of the states top teams since his Freshman season. Very balanced in the run game and when in pass protection, he wins with physicality and first step explosion into defenders while never getting out leveraged and playing with nice pad level and toughness. Able to play both inside and out at the tackle position, he shows the ability to pull and trap while not taking false steps and climbing to backers with good angles and sustaining blocks. Although a big undersized, Hardeman has all the tools to play at the next level and more then makes up for it with his technique, power, bend and overall strength.
William Buck, Sheldon HS
Starting his high school career at Inderkum, Buck transferred over to Sheldon and has made himself into one of the premier 2024 interior offensive lineman the region has to offer. Starting on Varsity since his Freshman season, Buck has ideal size for the guard position at the next level and is very athletic and mobile in space. He is a true road grader in the box wins with initial punch, leg drive and a solid base through out the first two levels while finishing blocks with physicality and toughness. He also shows that he can pull to the second level and sustain blocks well while understanding pass pro responsibilities and leverage while engaging.
Nick Corbett, Bellarmine HS
Playing for one of the top teams in the Bay Area, Corbett started at tackle for Bellarmine and his athleticism and length with the ability to pack on more weight to his frame immediately stands out and makes him a very intriguing prospect. Although still developing and growing, on tape he shows natural knee bend and nice first step quickness while striking with heavy hands and keeping inside placement through out his blocks. In pass protection, he does a good job at using his length to keep defenders away from his chest and keeps a wide and solid base while able to anchor against bull rushes and wash out against speed rushers.
