GOOD LORD!!!

Did you see the size of the linemen that Coach Harless has at Lord Botetourt?

Hell, if they get in a wedge formation they can score on every play.

I was trying to decide between them and Glass until I read the article on Botetourt.

I think size is over estimated in High School. Two years ago we met them in the class 3 Final and they were huge, the biggest I’ve seen in a long time. Didn’t win and a few top LB’s negated. Just my opinion.

Being able to move your feet, quickness, technique, understanding leverage/momentum, stamina, and strength, are characteristics of a good lineman. Size would just be a bonus.

Penn St is LB U.

Lord Botetourt is OL HS


they definitely have been churning them out year after year — Harless seems to get a lot of that OL and the pipeline looks to be far from dry . I think people are commending a 3A school for producing multiple p5 level prospects especially OL over the last 5-7 years.

size is unteachable just use it to your advantage When those big guys start moving people with technique and a nasty streak you have something special.
