One of the analysts from Rivals was at his game this weekend and said he was the best prospect at any position and any class he's seen this year. Incredible praise for the kid.

This analyst (and many others) called him a franchise left tackle. I didn't know he played both ways, and the same analyst raved about his play as DT.

Nice, thanks. Sounds like he has a good chance to be in the top 5/10 when the rankings come out.

I want to know if Barton has seen Seantrel Henderson. If so, that's incredible praise for the kid.

Parkview Baptist dominated the game and won handily in what was probably a slight upset.

2011 LSU commit La'El Collins is the best player I've seen all year regardless of position or class. The kid is a beast. Physically he looks like an NFL defensive end or tight end right now. He plays every snap on both sides of the ball and is a beast. Great motor, great athleticism and he has a nasty streak. Rarely do you see a high school lineman play with a high effort level on even one side of the ball, much less both. If he wanted to, he could be a defensive tackle in college but he will be a franchise left tackle. Kid is special.

Jeremy Hill wasn't as much a part of the offense as maybe he should have been. He only got three offensive touches in the first half as Redemptorist tried to establish the passing game. When he was given the ball in the second half he had some very nice runs. He is a physically advanced kid right now and I think he may be a H-Back on the next level. he's very versatile and catches the ball well. I would just like to see him be a little bit more physical. I'd like to see him run a couple high school players over on occasion.

I was at the game and I'll say that Collins is just an animal. And he already looks like a man. He probably has a better physique than some smaller D-1 college tackles and he's only a Junior.

With Hill, I was upset Redemptorist didn't give him the ball more because I wanted to see him with it and he looks so physically gifted. When they did give it to him, it seemed like he ran towards the sidelines and ran away from contact. Was a little disappointed with his toughness, imo.

Is that how it works? You can post premium info it's not the entire article? Just curious how to go about this in the future. Thanks

It's major line stepping, but is technically legal.

The piece he quoted was about as big as you can get without it being a problem.
