Texas's Top 2021 O&D Linemen You Should Know

I feel a grand duty to help give exposure to these tremendous young men when it comes to the seniors of 2021. This is a great bunch of guys who are on some pristine college recruiting boards. Colleges like Arizona state, Liberty, Illinois, and others. These are players who may have been "underlooked" or they are simply-- patiently waiting to make the right decision. Figuring out where you want to spend the next four years at their age can seem like a pretty daunting task and I don't blame them. The college they choose will be a huge next step for them and their academic careers as well as their athletic career. Some of these players Prep Redzone has prepared before you are some of the best offensive and defensive lineman still out there from all over Texas. These guys never get any of the glory or end up in the headlines. The big uglies, the buffet killers, the mean and nasty guys with a lot of grit plus smarts. Here they are, your lineman prospects of the class of 2021 still available for recruitment at this moment. 1.[player_tooltip player_id="60648" first="Tonga" last="Lolohea"] height 6-4 | weight 240 | SDE | Trinity Tonga can push offensive linemen back and get into the backfield for tackles for losses. He uses his size to his advantage and he's a beast on the defense of the line. -----His burst off the ball isn't the greatest but he shows great patients and reads what's happening in the backfield as he fills his gap and makes plays for tackles for losses. <strong>Character:</strong> @putptonga <strong>College offers:</strong> <img class="college-comp__college-team-image" src="https://s3media.247sports.com/Uploads/Assets/395/968/7968395.png?fit=bounds&crop=25:25,offset-y0.50&width=25&height=25" width="25" height="25" /> <img class="college-comp__college-team-image" src="https://s3media.247sports.com/Uploads/Assets/133/483/8483133.png?fit=bounds&crop=25:25,offset-y0.50&width=25&height=25" width="25" height="25" /> <span style="font-size: 1rem;">Houston Baptist </span> <span style="font-size: 1rem;">Incarnate Word </span><img class="college-comp__college-team-image" src="https://s3media.247sports.com/Uploads/Assets/85/651/4651085.png?fit=bounds&crop=25:25,offset-y0.50&width=25&height=25" width="25" height="25" /> <span style="font-size: 1rem;">Lamar </span><img class="college-comp__college-team-image" style="font-size: 1rem;" src="https://s3media.247sports.com/Uploads/Assets/843/649/4649843.png?fit=bounds&crop=25:25,offset-y0.50&width=25&height=25" width="25" height="25" /> <span style="font-size: 1rem;">Liberty</span> <hr /> 2.[player_tooltip player_id="60651" first="Nick" last="Ravalico"] <span style="font-size: 1rem;">height 6-3 | weight 255 | SDE | Keller </span> Nick fills holes in the line of scrimmage well and maintains his gap.
