The 4A Club Post-Regular Season Player Rankings: O-Linemen

Every four weeks I like to take a look at the landscape of Class 4A football and come up with my own player rankings based on statistics. How I come up with my ratings is a system based on pro-football-reference.com’s "Approximate Value" system of ratings they use for overall performance during a season. For this article, I’m taking a look at my top 20 Class 4A Offensive Tackles and my top 20 interior linemen. &nbsp; *Stats are up to Week 8* (Also, my top five linemen are all tackles, so I’m gonna start off with my top 20 tackles list) &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 18pt;">Top 20 Offensive Tackles</span> &nbsp; #1.
