Starts Up Front Sports Performance

Our staff @Startsupfront were truly blessed to learn key concepts from @ScottPeters53 as he instructs this young OL on how to carry over techniques learned from wrestling and how they translate to offensive line play. We learned a lot this week it’s all @Startsupfront #MultiSport

IMANI GRIFFIN-DEFEAUX: A TWO-WAY FORCE TO WATCH IN THE CLASS OF 2032 Power. Speed. Relentless effort. #ImaniGriffinDefeaux is a #ClassOf2032 prospect making an impact with the #WestchaseColts. At 5-foot-10, 210 pounds, this #YouthFootball standout plays offensive tackle and defensive end/defensive tackle. On offense, his explosive first steps, strong pad level, and length help him get into defenders quickly. On defense, he brings a versatile pass-rush toolbox, attacking with power and speed as a true #TrenchPlayer. Across seven games in 2026, Imani recorded 25 tackles, two punt blocks, and one tipped pass—showing he can contribute beyond the OffensiveLine and DefensiveLine. His athleticism and versatility make him a young player to follow as he develops. Keep watching his journey with FootballRecruiting and StartsUpFront—where we ControlTheTrenches and MakeTheUnknownAKnownName. What stands out most to you: his offense, defense, or special-teams impact? Reported by Ray McNeil, National Director of Offensive Line Scouting for Starts Up Front National & Global Recruiting Board. More at startsupfront.com via Instagram instagr.am/p/DfSzuLgoSXd/

THE RECRUITING RED FLAG THAT TALENT CAN’T HIDE A great highlight tape gets attention. But what happens when a coach sees your practice habits, how you adapt, and the energy you bring to the team? In this conversation, Coach Sherrone Moore explains why coaches look beyond the film—and why being an “energy drainer” can make a coach think twice. Be honest: Would you recruit a talented player who brings the whole room down? Watch, weigh in, and tag a player who needs to hear this. It all @startsupfront @startsupfront_ngrb #StartsUpFront #FootballRecruiting #CollegeFootball #OffensiveLine #DefensiveLine More at startsupfront.com via Instagram instagr.am/p/DfR4Nz5o4J8/

YOUR LIFTING NUMBERS LOOK GOOD. CAN YOU MOVE? A bigger lift doesn’t automatically mean a more explosive athlete. If you want to play faster, train for more than the weight room: build strength, improve mobility, run with purpose, and get your body ready to move. The goal isn’t just to lift heavy. It’s to make that strength show up on the field. Stop chasing numbers. Start building game-ready athletes.

WHO’S REALLY IN CONTROL OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL? College football is changing quickly. NIL, the transfer portal, and the shifting business of the sport have raised a serious question: who is keeping college football in check—and are its leaders keeping pace? In this conversation, Coach Sherrone Moore…former University of Michigan head coach and a member of the Wolverines’ 2023 national championship coaching staff…joins Starts Up Front founder Min. Dr. Enoch Smith Sr. to consider the role of governing bodies and leadership in the sport’s future. As the game evolves, leadership must provide clear standards and accountability while protecting the players and the integrity of college football. Who should lead that work: the NCAA, conferences, schools, or players? Share your perspective and tag a college football fan. #CollegeFootball #SherroneMoore #MichiganFootball #FootballLeadership #StartsUpFront More at startsupfront.com via Instagram instagr.am/p/DfHqj9hoi1W/
