Dom Ference, OL – Dom is a dominant player and plays with a nasty streak. He has good bend in his stance and good pop off the snap. He moves really well laterally and straight ahead with great technique. He keeps his feet wide and going through the whistle. His pass blocking is above average and he maintains great posture throughout the play. He delivers the blow and knocks people back with proper head positioning. I am really impressed with his aggressive nature. Many plays on film finish off the screen as he drives defenders into the dirt. Can play all three interior OL positions.

Pat Lavelle, OL – Pat is an excellent Center and does a lot of things very well. He has command of the OL and is always on point with the snap. He has great flexibility in his stance and good knee bend. His first two steps are very quick and he moves really well forward and laterally. His run blocking technique is advanced and on the level of a young college lineman. His pass posture is very good with great feet and punch. He keeps his feet moving and blocks to and through the whistle. I am very impressed with his aggressiveness and he gets after it every play.

Mitchell Hyland, OL – Mitchell plays the tackle position at a really high level. He stands at 6’2 and weighs 255. He will continue to fill out and get bigger. He is very quick, athletic, and has long arms. Impressive run blocker on the edge and plays with great technique. He moves fast laterally and is perfect for their outside zone scheme. His pass blocking is above average and he neutralizes edge players well. Will be a big part of their success this season.

He is a two sport athlete and carries a 4.35 GPA.
