While skill players are off competing this off-season at 7-on-7 events across the country, offensive and defensive linemen are not sitting home waiting on spring practice to start.
One of the best things to happen for the “Big Men” in recent years is the 5-on-5-line competition.
No longer are these young men just waiting for spring and summer to come along, this winter has belonged to some national competition, and some of the best in the country had the chance to showcase their skills this past weekend in Atlanta.
Some of the top line prospects in the nation headed to Central Gwinnett High School for a full showcase that included 40-yard run, L Drill, linemen techniques, agility drills, and of course competition.
Like the event last month at Boyd Anderson High School, some of the top offensive and defensive linemen showed up for the National 5v5 Showcase with the top lineman being invited to the Lineman Championship Retreat in May.
With elite linemen from all over coming to the Giant Skills Athletics event, it was one of several competitions that will be held in Dallas, Nevada, Los Angeles, Hawaii, Tennessee, Ohio and Arizona.
When the event ended several south Florida standouts were among many others who turned heads.
“There was a lot of talent in Atlanta,” said coach Pat Cooney. “This 5v5 competition is really growing and we are seeing more and more prospects get recognition.”
