Showcase Recap: Top Offensive Line Performances

The offensive line group delivered one of the more physically impressive and competitive units of the showcase. Testing numbers revealed athletic upside across the board, but the true separation came in drill work and competition periods, where leverage, footwork, and finishing ability were on full display. Several prospects solidified themselves as rising names, while others continued steady development and confirmed their place on recruiting boards moving forward.


Test-Out Standouts

Evan Miller — North Marion (2028)
Backed up his top ranking immediately with a strong all-around showing. Looked the part physically with elite size and posted solid athletic testing for his frame, including a 7+ foot broad jump. Carried that momentum into drills where he was consistently sharp and composed.

Colby Justus — Princeton (2028)
Stock continues to rise after another strong performance. Brings clear college-level size and surprised with a blazing 5.1 40-yard dash, especially impressive given his frame. Also stood out in 1v1 work where he showed competitiveness and functional movement skills.

Noah Hockman — Martinsburg (2027)
One of the more explosive testers in the group, highlighted by an 8’0” broad jump. Carried that athleticism into drills where he had a consistently noticeable presence and performed well throughout positional work.

Tyson White Jr. — Fairmont Senior (2027)
A name that should continue to attract increased attention over the next few months. Long, rangy build with solid testing across all categories. Shows a blend of length and athletic ability that projects well at the next level.

Owen Stanley — Elkins (2027)
Clearly benefited from offseason strength work. Posted strong shuttle and broad jump numbers while moving well. Had a strong all-day performance.


Big Days

Tyler Avery — Huntington (2028)
Physically impressive frame paired with a strong showing in both drills and competition. Consistently looked the part and dominated much of the day.

Cooper Keener — Fairmont Senior (2027)
Another steady and productive outing. Showed nimble footwork and strong hip flexibility, allowing him to stay balanced and effective in both testing and positional work.

Peyton Wade — Independence (2028)
Turned in one of the better shuttle performances of the day. Built strongly and moves with surprising quickness for his size. Projects as a high-impact interior player on both sides of the ball.

Isaac Workman — Elkins (2028)
A consistent, hard-nosed presence throughout the day. Reliable—competes on every rep and brings a steady, physical style that coaches value.

Coal Park — Morgantown (2027)
More agile, quicker-built lineman who showed clear explosiveness in both shuttle and broad jump testing. Moves well in space and projects as a dependable, athletic interior piece.

Max Huggins — Preston (2027)
Followed up a strong Summit performance with another solid showing. Physical, stout build with good feet and functional athleticism that translates well in both testing and competition.

Jaidyn Shuck — Independence (2028)
Leans heavily on size and raw strength, which stood out throughout the day. Projects primarily as a defensive lineman where he can use his power to anchor and control gaps.

Parker Chapman — George Washington (2027)
One of the more complete performances in the group. Smaller than some peers, but compensated with high intensity, technical consistency, and strong leverage usage throughout drills.


On the Map

Adarian Pauley — Sissonville (2028)
Strong physical profile with clear foundational traits to build on. Shows promising raw tools and should continue developing well in a structured program environment.

Xavier Smailes — Huntington (2029)
Gritty, competitive sophomore who held his own against older competition. One of the more notable underclassmen standouts on the day.

Ian Fowler — Wahama (2027)
Slightly undersized, but extremely athletic. Brings versatility on both sides of the ball and projects as a disruptive presence this season.

Charles Acord — Independence (2028)
Big frame with visible development since previous evaluations. Trending upward and beginning to profile as a legitimate big man recruit.

Colin Jones — Williamstown (2028)
Active throughout testing and competition periods. Held his own consistently and continues to show gradual but steady progression.

Colin Gadd — Huntington (2027)
Arrived with good baseline technique and size. As athletic tools continue to develop, he is positioned for a strong senior season.

Kaleb Mann — Nicholas County (2028)
Arguably the quickest lineman in attendance. Plays with disruptive speed inside and has the potential to be a major interior force on both sides of the ball.

Zion Pitts — Bluefield (2029)
Impressive showing in competition, particularly on the defensive side. Physical presence inside the box with clear upside as he develops.

Jack Gamble — University (2027)
Reliable, steady lineman who continues to trend upward. Capable on both sides of the ball and appears primed for a productive senior campaign.
