<span style="font-weight: 400;">Many of the top players in the class of 2022 entered their junior seasons as underrated players with little attention coming their way. Every player listed in the rankings made the best of their shortened season, earning their way under the spotlight and being selected as the top in their positions.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">This senior class is stacked with phenomenal talent at the offensive line position, many of whom have been building strong recruiting reputations for a while now. In fact, each of the top five linemen have a spot in the top ten overall rankings for the entire class. Every player on this list has Division I talent written all over them, while some have shown signs of league potential.</span> <b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">[player_tooltip player_id="22668" first="George" last="Fitzpatrick"] | Cherry Creek | 6’6”, 280lbs</span> </b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Fitzpatrick is the top ranked lineman and the second ranked 2022 player overall. The two-time state champion is an immovable force in pass protection and an elite edge-sealing blocker for outside zone runs. Fitzpatrick also possesses the versatility that enables him to sprint out to the second level as a lead blocker for wide receiver screens. Fitzpatrick has over 30 D-I offers, making him one of the top offensive linemen in the country.</span> [embed]https://twitter.com/georgefitz88/status/1337118708834058240?s=20[/embed] <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>[player_tooltip player_id="22677" first="Jake" last="Maikkula"] | Valor Christian | 6’6”, 270lbs </b></span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">When one of the nation’s top runners is in the backfield, having a monster offensive lineman like Maikkula is a must. He is a powerful tackle with strong hands, quick feet, and explosive acceleration when moving to the second level. Maikkula is a highly recruited player who has narrowed his potential college selection to eight Power 5 schools.</span> <a href="http://iframe%20src=’//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/12160155/5fcdad0d4df52e0710568599’%20width=’640’%20height=’360’%20frameborder=’0’%20allowfullscreen/iframe"><iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/12160155/5fcdad0d4df52e0710568599" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></a> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>[player_tooltip player_id="22669" first="Braden" last="Miller"] | Eaglecrest | 6’7”, 293lbs</b></span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Miller is a powerful tackle with violent intentions for any would-be rusher.

The two-time state champion is an instant head turner anytime he steps onto the gridiron. Jones is quick off of the snap, using his strength and quickness to dominate at the line. Shortly after the completion of his junior season, Jones announced his commitment to the University of Michigan.</span> [embed]https://twitter.com/77ConnorJones/status/1342279279334211584?s=20[/embed] <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Travis Grey | Cherokee Trail | 6’8”, 295lbs</b></span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Grey is the fifth ranked offensive lineman and the tenth overall player in the state. His size alone is enough to garner attention from everyone within his vicinity. His footwork is smooth, his strength is unmatched, and his strikes are percisce and unforgiving. Grey has received a lot of attention from D-I colleges, especially from within the Pac-12.</span> <a href="http://iframe%20src=’//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/13708916/5fc016185b3d55098c45c10b’%20width=’640’%20height=’360’%20frameborder=’0’%20allowfullscreen/iframe"><iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/13708916/5fc016185b3d55098c45c10b" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></a>
