When Noel lines up in the trenches, it’s like a freight train anchoring the front line, explosive, immovable, and built to dominate. He’s not just a force but a storm in shoulder pads, bringing fierce physicality and brute strength to every rep. With electric hands and a bulldozing base, Noel mauls defenders with purpose, clears lanes like a human snowplow, and sets the tone with a non-stop motor. But what separates him from every other lineman in his class isn’t just size or strength, it’s the unmatched blend of vision, intelligence, and fire he brings before the ball is even snapped. Coaches can expect a violent man-child who plays with heart, purpose, and a chip on his shoulder the size of a goalpost.

This past season, Noel allowed only 3 sacks while racking up 15 punishing pancakes, each one a reminder of the brute force he brings to the line. His biggest leap came in his ability to move defenders at will and create explosive holes, helping his running back rush for over 1,000 yards. That transformation didn’t come easy. After riding the bench the year before and watching his team hit the playoffs without him, he fueled every practice with hunger and grit. That setback sparked a relentless fire to become the starter and he delivered. This offseason, Noel is locked in on elevating his footwork, improving speed off the snap, and preparing his body for the next level. What drives him most is the thought of his family and the desire to never let them down. He’s taken a visit to New Haven and has drawn interest from New Haven, East Stroudsburg, American International, Muskingum, Muhlenberg, Syracuse, and Davidson College. His football IQ, particularly his pre-snap reads of linebackers and linemen, has become a game-changing asset that sets him apart from most linemen his age.

The best coaching advice that shaped Noel’s mindset is, "Never let up, no matter how much it hurts, fight until the finish because you control the tempo." That shows in every snap, every drive, every block. For Noel, this isn’t just football, it’s personal. He’s determined to earn a college opportunity and prove that belief and effort can overpower doubt every single time.

Noel’s blend of raw strength, trench IQ, and explosive finishing ability makes him a powerful asset for any college program. His size is matched by a relentless attitude and discipline that allows him to take over at the line of scrimmage. Programs looking for a lineman who can instantly elevate the physicality and identity of their offensive line should have Noel high on their radar.

Noel’s ceiling is high, and his growth is far from finished. With continued development in foot speed and technique, his dominance will only become more dangerous. Expect him to be a cornerstone lineman who not only protects and opens lanes, but inspires every teammate around him. His passion, leadership, and toughness give him the potential to be a future anchor at the collegiate level. Stay tuned.
