Updated On3 Consensus 5-star: No. 4, OT Kadyn Proctor
Now that March has arrived, the recruiting world has officially turned its eyes toward the Class of 2023. With a bevy of notable quarterbacks, a geographic diversity among the nation’s top players and plenty of other notable storylines, the 2023 cycle is shaping up to be one of the most interesting in recent memory. And, per usual, the players at the top of the class will be among the most highly-recruited in the nation. The latest edition of On3’s 2023 Consensus rankings features 20 players with a coveted five-star rating. Next up on the countdown is the current No. 4 overall prospect in the 2023 cycle, Des Moines (Iowa) Southeast Polk offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor.
Proctor was previously No. 6 in the On3 Consensus. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, Iowa is the current leader in his recruitment with a 64.4% chance of landing him. Notre Dame, Michigan, Penn State and Iowa State are far back, according to RPM, but not out of the picture.
Kadyn Proctor Scouting Summary
“Wide, physically-developed offensive tackle who excels as a mauling run blocker. Dominant at the point of attack, using strong and quick hands to neutralize opposing defensive linemen. Plays with a nasty mentality as a block finisher, planting defensive linemen in the ground with regularity. Moves well and shows his athleticism as a defensive lineman. Does not appear to have high-end length for an offensive tackle and tends to lunge at times in his pass set.” — Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings
