1. Campbell, Will*
LSU 6056 319
Three year starter, Monroe, LA. A 5-star high school recruit, out of Neville, LA high school. The highest rated offensive tackle prospect in 7 years. Freshman All American. All SEC in 2023. Big bodied, long armed and experienced left tackle. Two -year starter. Hand placement is outstanding. Bent knees provides low center of gravity, occasionally will get caught leaning forward. Will make defensive lineman “run in place”. Good strength within the framework of defensive lineman. Feet are excellent in switching against line stunts. Patient in anticipation of D-line move, will create a pile of D-line. Is conscious of where quarterack pass set is. Excellent in passing off line twists. Film, at times, looks like a highlite tape. Absorbs the “wide 9” technique. Slow to set in a good way, stays behind his long arms. Sinks his hips against the bull rush. A very sound technician, makes “em run in place”. Good upfield footwork on zone blocking. Gets to the second level and absorbs the linebacker. Strong movement on down blocks. Can be susceptible to arm over because of body lean, can occasionally set a bit deep.
2. Banks Jr., Kelvin*
Texas 6040 320
Three year starter, Humble, TX. First team All-Big 12 and second team AFCA All-America in 2023. Considered by many to be the top left tackle prospect coming out of college this season. Athletic prospect with excellent footwork and lateral movement skill. Solid base, excellent accelerating cut block. Attacks defensive line with a flat back and an upward rise. Takes the defender in the direction he wants to go…..and drives him past the ball carrier. Squares up on defensive lineman and plays with good strength. Comes off a double team to the linebacker extremely well. Outstanding footwork. Uses arm length as a cushion in pass protection. Adept at punch and mirror and can stay with athletic edge rushers and ride them out. Effective against counters. Will punch a little high and is a bit soft on the edge. Needs to more consistently finish plays. Has elite tools to work with.
3. Jones Jr., Emery*
LSU 6044 319
Three year starter, Baton Rouge, LA. Second team All-SEC in 2023. Starter and right tackle and part of an outstanding tackle tandem teaming with Will Campbell on the left side. Has played both guard and tackle and was efficient at either position. Excellent foot speed and strength at the point of attack. Has an exaggerated lead step, stays “behind” his pads with his strong upper body play. Quick puller which gets him quickly across the line of scrimmage, explosive straight ahead blocker when called upon. Tries to work defender’s hands down. He is a sound technician who will jolt defender's head back on impact. Clamps them with his strong hands. His good footwork allows him to get hip to hip with center or guard. Good flat backed blocker who will throw his hips out. Will run defensive linemen upfield past the quarterback's drop, is very conscious of where the quarterback is in proximity of his drop. Good footwork on kick step of pass protection. A hustler. Will appear to be confused from time to time, could come from playing multiple positions. This young man plays with a high motor.
4. Ersery, Aireontae
Minnesota 6060 325
Three year starter, Kansas City, MO. Second team All-Big Ten in 2023. After seeing limited time his first two years, he earned the starter's role as a red shirt sophomore. Prototypical body type for the next level. This big man is mobile, with good feet and a good motor, he’s always looking for work. Very competitive. Excellent movement in zone scheme, slips up to the second level with strength. Has an excellent power base and is physical when defender is squared up on him. In pass protection he uses his length to create separation and normally stalemates rushers on contact. Flashes punch and mirror skill. Sometimes inconsistent in pass protection. Can get sloppy sometimes by overstepping to the play-side. Will sometimes get a little high in his pass blocking. Overall an excellent prospect at the next level particularly with his run blocking and pass protection abilities. Plays with a nasty disposition.
5. Cornelius, Ajani
Oregon 6042 311
Four year starter, Harlem, NY. Cornelius was a two year starter at Rhode Island before entering the transfer portal in December of 2022. Has been a starter at Oregon ever since. In ’22 he received first team All-CAA football honors and was honorable mention All-PAC 12 in 2023. Lengthy prospect who still has upside to develop. This right tackle has a good pad level which allows him to drive defenders off the ball. Very competitive, thick framed. Good footwork allows him to block at the second level, more methodical than quick in many cases. Seals the edge well on power play. Strong inside hand on pass pro, with ability to punch and mirror. Picks up line twists well. He needs to keep his hands more inside of the defender. Needs to be firm in pass pro, but keeps the defender off of the quarterback. As a transfer from an FCS school he’s still developing, but the tools are there for a productive NFL career.
