Even during this unusual time of COVID-19 preventing teams from having full summer practices, skill players are attending various camps and receiving offers from top colleges.
Since it is difficult to evaluate offensive linemen without pads on, offers typically roll in during and shortly after the season.
Southern California is loaded with offensive line talent and major colleges look at Southern California high schools when they need to add linemen to the roster.
Here is a look at the top offensive linemen in Southern California:
<strong>10. [player_tooltip player_id="25095" first="Mason" last="Randolph"], Yorba Linda, Yorba Linda</strong>
Randolph is one of the best public school players in North Orange County and is drawing attention from major schools.
The 6-foot-4, 295-pound interior lineman is very strong and also wrestles at Yorba Linda High. He moves very well in the running game and carries his weight well.

It’s impressive that Randolph has stayed at Yorba Linda since he has almost certainly garnered attention from the Trinity League schools in the area. It’s a credit to Randolph and the coaching staff at Yorba Linda. He has 9 offers including Arizona State, Colorado, Michigan State and Utah.
<strong>9. [player_tooltip player_id="25088" first="Garrett" last="DiGiorgio"], Serrano, Phelan</strong>
DiGiorgio is 6-foot-7, an All-CIF tackle and also is a basketball standout at Serrano High.
He excelled at the Rivals Camp Series and led an offensive line for a 12-1 Serrano team that rushed for nearly 3,000 yards.
On June 23, he narrowed his recruiting list from 13 to eight and appears to be heading toward a summer commit. The eight schools are: Cal, Duke, UCLA, Arizona, Oregon State, Utah, Washington State and San Diego State.
<strong>8. [player_tooltip player_id="25085" first="Saia" last="Mapakaitolo"], Alemany, Mission Hills</strong>
Mapakaitolo is one of four players from last year’s Alemany team to commit to USC ([player_tooltip player_id="25028" first="Miller" last="Moss"], <a class="pn-player-link" href="https://prepredzone.com/player/niuafe-tuihalamaka/"><span class="name-pointer">[player_tooltip player_id="25231" first="Niuafe" last="Tuihalamaka"]</span></a>, and [player_tooltip player_id="25055" first="Jaylin" last="Smith"]).
The 6-foot-5, 280-pound tackle isn’t physically imposing but is a good kick-slide step in pass protection. He is well-balanced and keeps his strong footwork when defensive ends try to make a move inside.

He has been selected as a Polynesian Bowl All Star.
<strong>7. [player_tooltip player_id="25083" first="Ross" last="Maseuli"], Mater Dei, Santa Ana</strong>

The 6-foot-3, 340-pound lineman is very aggressive and overpowers defensive linemen. He is a student of Chris Talamaaivao of Giant Skillz linemen training camps.
Maseuli holds seven offers including Alabama, Michigan and USC.
<strong>6. [player_tooltip player_id="25079" first="Anthony" last="Rosas"], Sierra Vista, Baldwin Park</strong>
Rosas is a big fish in a little pond at Sierra Vista and stands out when you watch the Dons play.
The 6-foot-3, 295-pound guard is one of the best interior lineman in the state. He has impressed on the lineman camp circuit and does well against linemen from bigger schools.
He held 14 offers before verbally committing to UNLV on July 3.
