We’ll keep the scouting reports rolling on top prospects from across the country.
Kevin Heywood – OT
Warminster, PA (Archbishop Wood High School)
OT prospect that has very good height and size. Uses his size combined with his very good strength to move defenders off the LOS. Good aggressive blocker when attacking run plays, he can turn the defender to create openings for the ball carrier. Fits in double teams off the line and can create leverage allowing his teammates to work up to the second level. Solid set in pass pro with a good anchor stopping the defender’s momentum and setting the pocket. He has good placement and body positioning when setting up the block.
Adequate athletic ability that can prevent him from reliably getting to the second level on running plays and through his set against faster edge rushers. He has some position versatility playing at the OT and OG positions on offense but translates better as an OT due to his size. A good overall prospect that will be a good addition to any offensive scheme. He would be a good addition to the Big 10 where he can use his run-blocking skills right away and continue to develop in his pass pro. Should work his way into the rotation and develop into an every-down player.

Tre McLeod – RB
Wyncote, PA (Cheltenham High School)
RB prospect with adequate height and good size. Good athletic ability and speed. He is a physical runner that has very good strength, he will consistently run through contact and is rarely brought down by the initial tackler. A smart ball carrier that can read the blocks and find the open zone or gap also understands when to bounce to the edge and has the speed to get to the outside. Good and willing blocker in the passing game, he understands how to attack the immediate threat and positions himself well to make the play. Effective lead blocker in the run game.
He was typically used as a blocker in the passing game so he had limited opportunities to show his hands and route running ability out of the backfield. Versatile player that has taken snaps as an option QB as well as playing SAF on defense. A good overall prospect that will be a good addition to any offensive scheme. He would be a good addition to a balanced team in the Big 12 where he can show off his skills as a ball carrier and in pass pro. Should work his way into the rotation and develop into an effective role player at the next level.
