We added a lot of players to our new 2023 rankings update, but we only have 14 offensive linemen. 7 of the Top 10 offensive linemen are inside the Top 50.   [table id=80 /]   First, we take a quick look at the Top 5. At the number 1 spot is [player_tooltip player_id="27745" first="Gabriel" last="Arena"]. His pass pro is a big reason why he is at this spot. At the number 2 spot is [player_tooltip player_id="103987" first="Cooper" last="Young"]. Didn’t really notice him until a couple of weeks ago. He is a physical kid who plays to the whistle. At 3 is [player_tooltip player_id="98520" first="Sean" last="Dugery"]. He should be a really good player as he continues to grow and develop. At 4 is [player_tooltip player_id="66057" first="Kevin" last="Miller"]. Kevin only had one clip this season but based on his freshman tape he’s got good size and is physical. If you want to see more of him, you will have to get him to a camp. At the 5 spot is [player_tooltip player_id="27750" first="Kameron" last="Zaengle"]. Kameron is undersized but has some of the tools to be a really good offensive lineman. Believe he will be a Group of 5 player.   [player_tooltip player_id="66056" first="Greg" last="Smith"] is our 61st overall player. He has good size. He has a strong first punch and physical. He does play high. Will lunge at defenders. Does drive feet on contact. Shows to kick step in pass protection. Seems athletic enough. Greg is a good player, but he does need to work on getting better leverage.   [player_tooltip player_id="99862" first="Michael" last="Dincher"] is our 66th overall player. Michael shows to lunge at defenders, does drive feet on contact. Shows physicality and can be a finisher. He had 72 pancakes this season. Believe he is a group of 5 player right now.   [player_tooltip player_id="66058" first="Cole" last="Evans"] looks a little undersized. He is willing to drive his feet on contact. Wish he was more physical, not much of a finisher. Shows to play with good leverage. Based on sophomore film, believe he is an FCS player right now.
