OL Jimmy Lansing Jimmy Lansing 6'7" | 300 lbs | OL Chaminade | 2022 State MO , Chaminade College Prep (From No. 3 OL heading into 2020 to No. 18 overall and the top-ranked OL).
There might not have been a player on the offensive side of the football who improved from one season to the next more than Lansing. Growing by adding over 50 lbs. and gaining strength helped, but dedication to the game and working his techniques in-game situations rose by leaps and bounds. Lansing still has room to add size and must continue to work on his foot quickness, but if his play continues at the current pace, Lansing will pick his college.
OL Tristan Wilson Tristan Wilson 6'5" | 300 lbs | OL Lebanon | 2022 State MO , Lebanon (From Unranked heading into 2020 to No. 24 overall and No. 4 among OL).
Wilson is another smaller school player who used the COVID offseason to get stronger and work his craft. Using a quick first step and a powerful upper body, Wilson pancakes a ton of guys and isn’t content to just make one block. He will drive a defensive lineman to the ground then go pick off a defensive back. The strong guard has a bright future.
OL Armand Membou Armand Membou 6'5" | 320 lbs | OL Lee's Summit North | 2022 State MO , Lee’s Summit North (From Unranked in 2020 to No. 39 overall and No. 6 OL).
Another player who wasn’t on the radar in 2020 but used his junior year to improve and get ranked. Membou has extremely quick feet and moves laterally with ease. His frame will still hold another 20 lbs. so his growth potential is very high. A rising prospect on a very good team.
OL Jaylon James Jaylon James 6'8" | 285 lbs | OL West Plains | 2022 State MO , West Plains (From Unranked in 2020 to No. 62 overall and No. 8 OL).
James gained over 60 lbs. from his sophomore season to his junior year and still kept his speed. I actually think he could get down to 300 lbs. and be the best offensive lineman in the state. He is naturally strong and once locked up, rag dolls defenders. He will need to continually work on his foot quickness but his size alone helps him win 99% of the time.
