OL/DL Tristen Seidl Kettle Moraine HS (WI) 6'3", 275 GPA - 3.0 2026 TOP OL RECRUIT GPA - 3.0 Scouting notes - New top 2026 OL recruit Tristen Seidl is a behemoth interior offensive linemen that possesses uncanny athletic ability when tenaciously moving other men against their wills, per play design. Tristen exhibits excellent footwork, hand-placement and agility when directing his opponents with his massive overall brute strength that is clearly visibly upon engaging with the opposition and reflected in his stellar performance in the weight room. When evaluating system fits at the next level, it is not a coincidence that the prestigious Naval Academy football team has taken notice of Seidl's intriguing skill-set that can be attributed to winning the daily battles on and off the field through determination, grit and effort. Tristen does not just possess an outstanding body of work as an offensive linemen, but also is a force to be reckoned with when pummeling through his opponents on the defensive line and is your prototypical strong-side DE that can consistently set the edge. In a quick hitting offensive system, Tristen has the potential to become a key cog in the wheel of an elite collegiate football program with his cat-like reflexes and ability to quickly propel to the second level to seal off LB's or as quick pulling guard. As a pass blocker, top 2026 OL/SDE recruit Tristen Seidl utilizes his "dancing bear" footwork to effectively and efficiently mirror pass rushers and is able to create a stellar base, as he sinks his hips to gain leverage on the opposition. On the flip side as a SDE or DT, Tristen proves to have excellent technique when keeping his inside arm extended to gain the proper leverage to quickly detach from blockers to make him a prime candidate in a gap control defensive system. The game of football is won and lost in the trenches and I believe that Tristen Seidl fits the bill as a top 2026 football recruit, as his attention to detail in his techniques will be paying off in huge dividends for whatever collegiate football program wants to build the best wall of protection, that possesses the capabilities to flip the switch and suppress their opposition into submission. |
