1. TJ SHANAHAN, JR.
Shanahan vied for OL MVP honors at RCS Miami and made a very convincing argument right off the bat in Atlanta. The Rivals100 junior lineman was able to challenge some of the nation's best 2022 defensive ends. He's agile and moves well. He's proficient at keeping defenders at bay and driving through them to finish.
The Arizona legacy has been touring several Pac-12 schools and rocked a USC sleeve during workouts. Florida, Ohio State and Alabama are also involved.

2. CAYDEN GREEN
The Rivals100 junior out of the Kansas City metro area was excellent taking snaps at tackle and inside at guard. He can lock in and withstand counter moves. He has good hands and was able to drop linemen in 1-on-1s inside and off the edge. Green's position-versatile and a technician.
*****
3. WILL CAMPBELL
Campbell has been an offseason darling this summer, impressing at every turn in June, including the Five-Star Challenge. The LSU commitment plays with a nastiness to him; he protects the pocket and moves very well with an explosiveness to finish.
Campbell flashed his savviness to anticipate moves and then drive defenders away.
*****
4. COLLIN SADLER
Sadler, too, has a meanness to his game. The Clemson commitment wants to out-physical the opposition; he possesses raw power to dispose of defenders and a willingness to do just that.
Sadler moves well and has great size. He should make for a nice blindside protector for Cade Klubnik when the two arrive in Death Valley.

5. TEGRA TSHABOLA
Tshabola was position-versatile and had success protecting the pocket at tackle and also inside at guard. The Ohio State pledge is really athletic and made an effort to drive through defenders. Tshabola was especially good at anticipating counter moves and powerful enough to finish.
