Class of 2021: SI All-American Candidate Owen Prentice's Scoutlook

Washington received some welcome recruiting news on Thursday night when highly regarded offensive lineman Owen Prentice announced he will stay home and play for the Huskies

Prentice's pledge gives the UW a promising guard, given his overall athleticism.

As Prentice develops his body control and strength, he should develop into a run-blocking guard for the Huskies.

Check out his SI All-American profile in the hot link above.

Size: At 6-foot-3 and almost 300 pounds, Prentice is the ideal size for an interior lineman.

Speed: When getting into the second level or on a pull, Prentice is an uncomfortable sight for defenders. He builds momentum and is very quick on a straight line.

Strength: Prentice is a strong guard who will be able to outmuscle defensive linemen at the next level.

Hands: Prentice has violent hands that can knock a defender to the ground and move on to the next. D-linemen have a hard time getting away from him when he gets his hands on them.

Feet: Prentice is light on his feet and is always chopping in running plays. He is an ideal pulling guard and front-liner for caravan blocking on a screen pass. He has a tendency to stop moving his feet on passing plays.

Football IQ: Prentice is always looking to block the next defender to spring his running back free. He's good at helping on double-teams and is aware of defenders coming into his gap. He understands blocking schemes well and will be able to pick up the new system when he gets to Washington.

Scoutlook: Owen Prentice has all of the skills needed to become a high-level offensive lineman as Washington. He has the knack for hitting people and the athleticism to get to the next level to open big holes. He has the foundation to become an elite pass blocker and a well-rounded interior lineman.
