Continue ReadingWe send you into the weekend with some of the best senior offensive linemen that have earned their way on our rankings and are guys to keep an eye on this year. These offensive linemen are up there with some of the best in the country. These are some of the linemen we have highly graded and ranked on our list, let’s dive right into it.
Brock Burns Brock Burns 6'4" | 275 lbs | OL Ozark | 2022 State AR | 6’4″ 275 lbs | OL | Ozark
Brock is a beast out there on the offensive line. He can consistently beat defenders off the snap of the ball and put them in the dirt. His pass pro is second to none and moves his feet well and I would say once he locks onto defenders whether that be in the run game or pass. The battle is seamlessly lost for the defender. Brock is a beast on that line and I think he would make great interior linemen at the next level because he does show the speed and athleticism to pull around and kick out those edge defenders or make his way to the second level.

Mark Welch Mark Welch 6'3" | 290 lbs | OL Camden Fairview | 2022 State AR | 6’3″ 290 lbs | OL | Camden Fairview
Welch has great size and he is a great blocker. He showed he can keep his feet moving and drive blocks way downfield. It almost looks like the movie Blindside when he is driving someone because he just looks like he is going to take them out of the stadium. That’s how good his drive is just for a good visual there. He should be a special player to watch this season.

Jalon Frazier Jalon Frazier 6'4" | 260 lbs | OL El Dorado | 2022 State AR | 6’4″ 260 lbs | OL | El Dorado
Jalon is another who I believe would be a great interior lineman at the next level. He plays left tackle right now and shows some good pass protection. He looks to have a long wingspan and is light on his feet. Shows good footwork in pass pro. Looks pretty athletic kicking out the edge and turning his back so running backs can run behind him. I like this prospect and think he will continue to add more mass to his frame. Needs to work on pad level, but other than that the intangibles are there.
Josh Robinson Josh Robinson 6'5" | 260 lbs | OL Greenbrier | 2022 State AR | 6’5″ 260 lbs | OL | Greenbrier
This offensive linemen has some great size and can really get after it in the running game. He has a long frame with a solid base. Didn’t see too much of pass pro in his tape but from what I did see once he grabs a defender more times often than not he wins that battle. I like this prospect and he is one who could raise himself up our rankings this season.

Brooks Edmonson Brooks Edmonson 6'4" | 275 lbs | OL Bryant | 2022 State AR | 6’4″ 275 lbs | OL | Bryant
Edmonson may very well be my favorite prospect on this list to watch out for this coming up season. He has great size at 6’4″ almost 6’5. His technique blocking is superb. Sure he may need a few improvements here and there. However, in pass protection he keeps a low bass, his feet moving, and has a good first punch. I like his wingspan a lot. He’s able to keep defende4rs at bay and also keep them away from the quarterback, so you gotta love that too about him. He will be a great player at the next level and he is definitely an FBS type of prospect.
Caleb Stroud Caleb Stroud 6'7" | 325 lbs | OL Maumelle | 2022 State AR | 6’7″, 325 lbs | OL | Maumelle
If this offensive linemen can lean out and add more muscle to his frame he could be a next-level prospect. His size at 6’7 gives him the advantage in leverage over most already. He blocks well in the run game. Footwork and punch could use improvement but not their not bad. I think with some good tape this senior season. Stroud could definitely be one that moves up our list.
Coaches if you are looking for a 6'7 OL that can open up some holes on that offensive line and that has excellent pass pro. Watch this film @PrepRedzoneAR @bighornet22 https://t.co/VC371PklTv
