2021 Offensive Linemen Breakdown

Prep Redzone Oklahoma has updated our 2021 Prospect Rankings for the final time. The list now stands at 150 players, ranging from the top tier D1 prospects, all the way down to small college recruits. You can check out the full rankings <strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/oklahoma/rankings/2021-rankings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RIGHT HERE. </a></strong>Today we will be highlighting five offensive linemen who have been a tier above the rest in their class for the past few seasons. Stay tuned to Prep Redzone Oklahoma over the next few days as we close out our evaluations for the class of 2021! [player_tooltip player_id="38504" first="Dillon" last="Gilbert"] <strong>- Owasso (#64 Overall)</strong> Though they came up just short of having a chance to repeat as state champions in 2020, Owasso had one heck of a season and a lot of the credit for their offensive success should go to this offensive line. Owasso did not have a featured workhorse RB, but rather a committee of athletes who were able to produce some nice rushing numbers as a unit. Gilbert is one of the strongest linemen in this class and excelled in both the run game and in pass pro the last two seasons. However, he might not be dropping in pass pro too many times at the next level for Air Force as they are a traditional run-heavy offense. [player_tooltip player_id="38510" first="Melvin" last="Swindle"] <strong>- Heritage Hall (#51 Overall)</strong> [player_tooltip player_id="38510" first="Melvin" last="Swindle"] has been one of the top linemen on both sides of the ball for the last two seasons but projects best on the offensive side at the next level. Playing both sides of the line at such a high level has really elevated his game as he has the strength to anchor down in pass protection while also having the speed and athleticism to climb to the second level and bull through defenders in the run game. Melvin is currently signed and committed to Eastern Michigan where he'll join a handful of 2021 prospects from Oklahoma. [player_tooltip player_id="38515" first="Garret" last="Humann"] <strong>- Westmoore (#49 Overall)</strong> One of the more underrated linemen and players in general in this 2021 class is [player_tooltip player_id="38515" first="Garret" last="Humann"]. When you turn on the tape he is one of the most fun linemen to watch because of the ferocity and intensity he takes into each play. He truly wants to dominate and punish his opponents every time he lines up and the results speak for themselves. Along with what seems like the entire Oklahoma class of 2021, Humann is signed and committed to play for the University of Central Oklahoma for the next 4 years. [player_tooltip player_id="38513" first="Lance" last="Petermann"] <strong>- Stillwater (#47 Overall)</strong> Another Air Force commit, [player_tooltip player_id="38513" first="Lance" last="Petermann"], has been a staple along the Stillwater O-Line that returned all of its starters from a year ago, and you could tell by the results of their games. There were not many teams that were able to get consistent pressure against the Pioneers all season and they were no doubt a huge help in [player_tooltip player_id="38521" first="Qwontrel" last="Walker"]'s ascension up the all-time rushing leaderboard in Oklahoma. Stillwater loses a ton of playmakers from their 2020 team, and Petermann, alongside a couple of other players, might be missed the most when the season kicks off in August. [player_tooltip player_id="38493" first="Logan" last="Nobles"] <strong>- Jenks (#7 Overall)</strong> [player_tooltip player_id="38493" first="Logan" last="Nobles"] has been the top prospect along the O-Line for the class of 2021 for some time now and that is not changing today. Nobles has been one of the nastiest finishers in the run game over the last few seasons and has grown immensely as a pass protector. After committing to Oklahoma State this summer, Nobles only got better in 2020 which is something you love to see out of a top prospect such as himself. Nobles is already great, but he has a chance to be special at the next level for the Cowboys. &nbsp; &nbsp;
