Film Dive: Top Offensive Lineman Part. I

<strong>Here is Part I of this III part series where we will breakdown and dive into some of the top offensive lineman from across the state in the 2023-2025 classes. </strong> <hr /> &nbsp; <strong>2023 [player_tooltip player_id="155547" first="Micah" last="Banuelos"], Kennedy Catholic HS</strong> The 2023 prospect has 8 Power Five offers from the likes of Oregon State, Oregon, Washington, Cal and Nevada among others. One of the top offensive lineman in the West, he has very impressive tape and is poised for a huge Senior season. Very athletic, he is light on his feet and displays great short area movement abilities when pulling, sliding in pass protection and when blocking in space. Off the ball, he is a true mauler from the left tackle position and creates immediate knock-back at contact with a strong punch and consistent physicality while able to finish blocks with nasty intention. Banuelos should have multi-year starting ability at the Power Five level. &nbsp; <strong>2023 Ashton Tripp Kennewick HS</strong> Tripp is a very physical player with long arms, good natural bend in his stance and has impressive athletic abilities. Due to his big frame and length, he has plenty of room to add more muscle mass. Out of his stance, he excels at blocking in space, can pull with quick feet and a solid base while able to scrape and sustain blocks at the second level. Still a developing prospect, Tripp is raw but has the frame, length and flexibility to be a very intriguing offensive lineman at the college level. &nbsp; <strong>2024 [player_tooltip player_id="158344" first="AJ" last="Tanupo"], Eastside Catholic HS</strong> Tanupo plays mostly along the defensive line, but is a very explosive athlete that can excel at multiple positions. At the point of attack he is extremely physical and plays with heavy hands and solid leg drive through his blocks. At the next level, he will most likely find his home on defense, but could also offer some position versatility if he were to kick inside at guard. Although not currently holding any offers, he has great size and strength for a '24 prospect and should start to see college interest come his way through the Spring and Summer. &nbsp; <strong>2023 Carson Osmus, Camas HS</strong> Osmus is still growing and developing, but is a true mauler in the inside run game with a strong punch and can finish blocks at the first level. Only a sophomore, he will continue to add strength and flexibility as he moves through his high school career. In pass protection, he has good foot quickness and lateral movement abilities in the short area while not lunging and staying patient through out the rush. Right now, Osmus is more of a phone booth downhill run blocker, but should be able to add more versatility to his toolbox as he progresses through high school. &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><em><strong>Other Top Offensive Lineman...</strong></em></span> <em>[player_tooltip player_id="87448" first="Ty" last="Evans"], Skyview HS</em> <em>[player_tooltip player_id="202573" first="Jalen" last="Salavea"], Skyview HS</em> <em>[player_tooltip player_id="87426" first="Nate" last="Wellington"], Eastside Catholic HS</em> <em>Zekiel Seumalo, Kentwood HS</em>
