Magnuson is a 6-4, 270 Freshman offensive lineman from Bethlehem Catholic, Sakatoon, Canada. Here's Brandon Combs analysis at Desert Swarm:
The first thing that stands out to me is the nastiness he plays with. He is very aggressive and actually has great footwork. He does play a little high when it comes to his pad level, but that can be easily fixed.
The second attribute that stands out to me is his athleticism. He moves very well for someone his size and is legit fast. I mean, one of the plays on his highlights shows him on kickoff coverage. Not only is that intriguing, the surprising bit is he was booking it downfield in a hurry and put someone on his back.
The third part of his game that jumps out is his ability to put people on their back and on the ground. It seems that almost every play on his highlights he pancakes someone.
Magnuson played left tackle for his high school, Bethlehem Catholic, but he projects better as a guard in college. The good news is he isn’t close to being done growing. He will probably grow at least another inch or two and can easily add 30-40 pounds on his frame.
75 yards was the longest pass last year and it happened 3 times.
