Blockers Offensive Line Academy

Blockers Offensive Line Academy is committed to developing and enhancing the overall offensive lineman. We assess each of our athletes to determine what their strengths and weaknesses are. From there we focus on core fundamentals for all O-lineman, Stance, Footwork, Leverage, Hand placement, Run blocking techniques, and Pass blocking techniques. Our drills are based on the same drills that the best college and professional Lineman use.

​Coach Berk

Coach Berk enjoyed success at the prep and college level during his career. A three-year varsity starter at Huber Heights (Ohio) Wayne (1997-98-99), Berk earned a full athletic scholarship to West Virginia University where he earned numerous honors on the field as a four-year starter and in the classroom.

During his collegiate career, Berk learned from some of the best offensive line coaches in college football. Berk was first tutored by Bill Legg who has been an offensive line coach and offensive coordinator at West Virginia, Purdue, Florida International and currently at Marshall.

The next coach to work with Berk was current Florida State offensive line coach Rick Trickett who is one of the top and most respected offensive line coaches in the college game. Trickett has coached several All-Americans during his storied career that has seen him make stops at Auburn, LSU, West Virginia and currently with the Seminoles where he helped them win the 2013 national championship.

Following his college career, Berk continued working on his craft being tutored by NFL Hall of Famer and Cincinnati Bengals great Anthony Munoz. Berk learned exclusive techniques and drills to improve in every aspect of being an offensive lineman from Mr. Munoz.

After retiring from the game, Berk returned to Wayne as an educator and worked on the football team as an offensive line coach and offensive coordinator before taking an administrative position within the school district.

As a four year starter for the Mountaineers, Berk started games at both tackle and guard positions while also playing in one game as a tight end.
