SoCal OL has the goods

It appears that one of the strengths out west for the class of 2006 is going to be big guys up front on both sides of the ball. You can never get enough big guys so look for Pac-10 teams to make hay while the sun shines. One player that D-I schools will definitely visiting this spring is our the subject of this profile.

Keep your eye on offensive tackle Sean Sheller (6-5, 260, 5.0) from Walnut, Calif. He comes from a good family and is an excellent student.

The two local schools UCLA and USC are already sending letters and have been by the school.

"Sean plays tackle for us but he has the feet to play guard," Walnut coach Jerry Person said. "He moves laterally really well and pulls and gets through the hole and doesn't clog it up."

"Sean is a terrific run blocker and does a fine job on pass blocking," Person said. "He needs to work on technique but he has all the goods to be a great player."

"I told Sean a year or two ago that if he does the right things that he would have an opportunity to get a D-I scholarship," Person said. "He's done the work and now that he sees the light due to letters from UCLA and USC."

"The good thing about Sean is he doesn't think he has it made," Person said. "He thinks he has to work harder."

"Sean wants to do the work," Person said. "He understands that you have to work hard to get where you want to go."

Sheller will be one of those players you will hear plenty about before this recruiting season is over.
