Pennsylvania 2024 Prospect Rankings: OL Breakdown

This is prime time to dive back into the recent rankings update and break down each position group to see what prospects made the cut and where. Included are prospects from every corner of Pennsylvania, representing each district, collectively creating the most comprehensive state ranking you can find.   OL Breakdown Top Offensive Linemen [player_tooltip player_id="97972" first="Peter" last="Jones"] | 6’5, 290 | Malvern Prep Got to see possibly the prized OL possession out of Malvern Prep live and dominate a loaded Archbishop Wood defensive front. The prized possession being [player_tooltip player_id="97972" first="Peter" last="Jones"]. A stellar sophomore campaign that has led to multiple Power Five and Group of Five offers. Incredible feet to flow with offense and lead block on sweeps his way. Impressive motor and athleticism. Clean and crisp when in pass-pro. Explosive down low, calm, and cool with his hands up top during his kick-slide. What scouts would call a cant-miss prospect.   [player_tooltip player_id="142040" first="Cooper" last="Cousins"] | 6’6, 275 | McDowell Just this January, we saw stud McDowell OL/DL [player_tooltip player_id="142040" first="Cooper" last="Cousins"] make a huge decision early on in his recruiting process, committing to Penn State University. Cousins was holding an ACC offer out of Pitt, as well as an SEC offer out of Kentucky. Cousins is every bit as complete an offensive line prospect as anyone on this list. I can see a future where he lands as the premier OL in his class. https://twitter.com/cousins_cooper/status/1487565213301972997?s=20&t=R1U5oesMQ2YXmljeHlurfg [player_tooltip player_id="98505" first="Ryan" last="Cory"] | 6’3, 275 | Pine-Richland A personal favorite of mine, [player_tooltip player_id="98505" first="Ryan" last="Cory"] throws his name in the conversation for the best 2024 offensive linemen. The offers were slow to come but are expected to heat up after the University of Oregon recently reached out and offered the Pine-Richland guard/defensive tackle. Expect more Power 5’s to make their intentions known on this young man. His 6’4, 290-pound frame makes him the ideal guard prototype. https://twitter.com/RyanCory15/status/1498858984887013380?s=20&t=R1U5oesMQ2YXmljeHlurfg [player_tooltip player_id="142805" first="Andrew" last="Erby Jr"], | 6’3, 265 | Steelton-Highspire Son of Steelton Highspire’s renowned HC [player_tooltip player_id="142402" first="Andrew" last="Erby"], [player_tooltip player_id="142805" first="Andrew" last="Erby Jr"]. rounds out the elite tier of 2024 offensive linemen. The thing about Andrew is, you can make a serious case that no one above is a better two-way player than himself. Legit top five linemen prospect on both sides of the ball. He’s developing more and more each passing day. Deciding between these four for the top spot will be the death of me. Holding an ACC offer out of Duke.

Nazareth’s leading sack man (8) may in fact be a better run blocker. Outstanding puller, has great feet to get off the snap, and locates his assignment well on the go. Kinney has an edge to him that really stands out in defensive reps. Mean streak that clearly sets the tone for the rest of the defense, expect this to only grow in truth as he progresses at Nazareth.   [player_tooltip player_id="255048" first="Justin" last="Kutcher"] | 6’1, 265 | Danville [player_tooltip player_id="255048" first="Justin" last="Kutcher"] lands as the best center prospect in his class. This was before his awesome camp performance at the PRZPA StockUp Showcase as well as good reps seen from Ed Obrien’s All-State camp this past month. Incredible hand grip and upper body strength. Power is his game but will surprise opponents with just how well he can move. Can’t wait to see how he develops as a defensive tackle for Danville. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-279802" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/01/67-Justin-Kutcher-271x300.jpg" alt="" width="271" height="300" /> [player_tooltip player_id="142815" first="Christopher" last="Coulter"] | 6’1, 240 | Father Judge Love to see that Coulter has slimmed down a tad and grown an inch since we last updated his measurables. Will only help his stock moving forward. Interior OL prospect who has every tool to be the best guard in his class. I think he’s actually a little under the radar when speaking to teams recruiting in PA. Can’t wait to see what colleges begin to reach out.   [player_tooltip player_id="255053" first="Lukas" last="Donahue"] | 6’3, 260 | LaSalle College [player_tooltip player_id="255053" first="Lukas" last="Donahue"] is ranked as a top-10 offensive line prospect but I still sense he’s slightly under-rated. The reps and coaching he’s going to receive out of one of the best programs in PA will do wonders for this kid’s development. So consistent in his hat and hand placement. His position is still up in the air. Excited to see where LaSalle uses him. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-279798" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/01/62-Lukas-Donahue-257x300.jpg" alt="" width="257" height="300" /> [player_tooltip player_id="255054" first="Dane" last="Levi"] | 6’2, 260 | Belle Vernon BVA stud who can provide reps inside or out. Great combo blocker and doesn’t hesitate to find his assignment and impact block when climbing into the second level. Awesome ability to play pretty much every spot along the offensive line. Currently, our 9th ranked linemen. https://twitter.com/DaneLevi1/status/1467163452892459011?s=20&t=R1U5oesMQ2YXmljeHlurfg [player_tooltip player_id="234656" first="Benjamin" last="Mercado"] | 6’2, 270 | Emmaus Another guard/defensive tackle who has been making some noise this offseason. Named a top performer at Ed Obrien’s All-State Preps camp. If you ever perform well at a camp like this, you’re immediately on my radar. Mercado lands in the top-10 at his position and just outside the top-100 overall in his class.
