*An update on Lake Worth (Fla.) Palm Beach Central center Tyler McDermott, who was featured in late 2005 by our OL "guru" John Brock In the Trenches...

McDermott, a 6-2, 265 pounder, has gained five pounds since the end of the year through strength trainer and also recently ran an electronic 4.99 40 time at his gym. After the 2005 season, he earned all-league for the third straight year and was also named to both the Ft. Lauderdale Sun Sentinel and the Palm Beach Post all-area teams. McDermott will attend both the NIKE Combine and NIKE Camp in South Florida this spring.

At 6-2 I wonder if he would project more at DT. Still time for him to shoot up a couple inches though.

6-2 is borderline tall enough to play center, which is where Tyler spends most of hsi time...

Very true, and it wouldn't hurt to take a center in next year's class...

All he needs is another 1-2 inches and another 20-25 pounds by the time he shows up to school and he would be about the same size as Dan Wenger, who I think is one of the better looking center prospects in the '06 class.

Center may be a position of need next year, if I have it right, we will only have Cordle with the graduation of Datish.....

Tyler picked up an offer from Auburn. He grew up a Canes fan.

Video of Tyler on Sunshine Preps. I was very impressed with him. Good strength, stays busy, and is just one mean blocker. A bunch of pancakes.

38. Tyler McDermott, OL, 6-1, 270, Palm Beach Central
He's the best center prospect in the state this year, by far. He turned in an outstanding performance at the Scout.com All-American Combine in South Florida back in May.

I'd like to see our interest in him pick up a bit...even if we are sitting pretty with a couple of POWER prospects...
