Western Illinois' Tireless Freshman OL with Elite Work Ethic
Jackson Metzdorff, a 6'4", 280-lb left-handed offensive tackle from Bloomington Central Catholic (IL), redshirted his 2024 freshman season at Western Illinois, preserving four years of eligibility while building strength behind a gritty Leathernecks line. Scouts praise his tireless work ethic, academic discipline (3.5 GPA), and football IQ that shines on film, marking him as a high-upside protector with community service passion. No college stats yet, but his intensity and versatility (secondary DE) make him a coach's dream for run-heavy schemes—prime developmental gem for teams seeking blue-collar linemen.
