Football: Wyatt Davis sets the standard of excellence for offensive linemen
They’re big, they’re strong, they’re mean. Those are the characteristics of top offensive linemen, and the Trinity League will supply its share this season.
Wyatt Davis, 6 feet 4, 315 pounds, is No. 1 on most everyone’s list. The senior from St. John Bosco is committed to Ohio State.
His teammate, center Tavita Moe, 6-4, 348, can compete with him in a buffet line and in blocking opponents.
Santa Ana Mater Dei has a future college standout in 6-7, 325-pound junior Tommy Brown. Santa Margarita think it has the best blocker in center Brett Neilon, a USC commit.
Sierra Canyon lineman Kanan Ray is a four-year starter committed to UCLA. Edison center Mike Saffell has Ivy League intelligence and an offer from Cal.
Nick Ford, 6-6, 270 pounds from San Pedro, should be one of the best in the City Section.
Alemany’s Massaman Ladji Bagayoko, 6-5, 290 pounds, has one of the toughest, longest names to spell, but it’s his improving performance as a blocker that has colleges impressed.
Casey Roddick of St. Bonaventure, 6-4, 330 pounds, and Solo Vaipulu of Corona Centennial, a junior, are rising prospects.
Friday: A sneak peek at defensive linemen to watch.
