"Eddlemon has been a presence up front for La Vernia (Texas) High this season. He's long, lean and fires off the ball. Eddlemon plays low and blocks through the whistle with the ability to reach multiple levels of the defense on occasion.
"Baylor, Houston and UTSA have all put early offers on the table for the intriguing, position-versatile offensive lineman." - Sam Spiegelman, National Recruiting Analyst
*****
"Two things set Russaw apart from his peers: a relentless motor and the use of his hands. There is no quit in Russaw's pass rush, and he has the inner drive to make something happen on every play. Russaw's hand techniques are very advanced and he's far too explosive for many of the offensive tackles he comes across.
"He possesses the athleticism to play a variety of positions in the defensive front seven, but he's been very productive when lined up on the line of scrimmage. Those abilities have brought Texas A&M, Michigan State, LSU, Georgia and Alabama to the table." - Ryan Wright, National Recruiting Analyst

"Siereveld is a massive and dominant force on the Lakota East offensive line. He shows great bend, fires off the ball to deliver the first blow and is capable of moving the line of scrimmage on his side of the ball. Siereveld plays with an old school brand of toughness and flat out gets after the opposing defensive lineman. Once engaged with a defender there is little chance that they will separate, as Siereveld uses his incredible foot drive to overpower anything that gets in his way.
"The sophomore lineman plays with great tenacity and is a pro at finishing blocks and playing through the whistle. Early offers include Ohio State and Notre Dame, but the process is just heating up for Siereveld. He is certain to become a national recruit when it is all said and done." - Clint Cosgrove, National Recruiting Analyst
*****
"Vereen is a pure flex tight end with the size and athleticism to create mismatches regardless of who lines up across from him. He's put up outstanding stats this season and has proven to be a very real deep threat. What sets Vereen apart from many of the other tight ends in the 2023 class is his speed in the open field and how hard he is to tackle when he has the ball in his hands.
"NC State was Vereen's first Power Five offer, but Georgia recently jumped into the mix, joining East Carolina and Charlotte." - Adam Friedman, National Recruiting Analyst/Rankings Director

"Williams is a rare talent in more ways than one. His 6-foot-5 frame makes him an easy target in the passing attack, but he is more than a chain mover. It's uncommon to see guys his size blow past corners and safeties with ease. He is a two-sport athlete, and his skills on the hardwood translate over to the gridiron as he adjusts to the ball in the air and blocks out defenders with his body.
"His Lakeland squad is not the prototypical pass-happy high school squad running a spread or air raid set, so he hasn't put up huge numbers, but he has scored on almost half of his receptions this season and also scored on a kick return.
"College teams have responded to his talents by pushing his offer sheet to 13, with Iowa State, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Syracuse, Virginia Tech, Michigan and Florida State all offering since mid-October." - Ryan Wright, National Recruiting Analyst
