If you want to see who was <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2022/03/top-10-class-of-2023-offensive-linemen-in-san-diego-part-1/">ranked 6-10, here is a link</a> to that story. 5. Charles Hines, Lincoln I am a little higher than some people are on Hines and it’s because of his competitiveness and ability to adjust quickly. Sometimes his pad level is a little high in pass protection and he gets beat initially, but he has the ability to replace his hands and recover quickly to keep the pocket clean. When he plays center and is uncovered he has dual-read responsibilities and does a good job helping teammates. He also has the raw strength to get a good push in the running game. He is an excellent student and Ivy League schools should be knocking on his door soon. https://twitter.com/TheNestSD/status/1496364264697004032?s=20&t=WN2NhopjKFEae6uszGbrmg 4. Kory Symington, Patrick Henry When I watched his film awhile ago I had concerns about his quickness and how his outside leg is nearly straight in his stance. But I saw him at the Giant Skillz Showcase and he looked quicker than I anticipated. He has a motor and is very strong. His hand placement is great in the run and pass game and he uses his size and strength to drive people. https://twitter.com/SymingtonKory/status/1495600431837458432?s=20&t=WN2NhopjKFEae6uszGbrmg 3. [player_tooltip player_id="261756" first="Matthew" last="Staycer"], Torrey Pines The gap between the top three guys and the rest of the class is massive. Staycer is a real Power 5 prospect at 6-foot-4 and over 300 pounds. There is a play I love on his highlight reel where the opponent runs a delayed edge blitz and Staycer adjusts quickly and blocks the end which is the correct play. He is a high-IQ player who has good footwork and blocks down effectively. He took an unofficial to San Diego State and went to junior day at Cal. https://twitter.com/MStaycer/status/1500824360575070211?s=20&t=WN2NhopjKFEae6uszGbrmg 2. [player_tooltip player_id="25440" first="Misael" last="Sandoval"], St. Augustine He was one of the best tackle prospects I saw at the Under Armour Next All-America Camp. His hand placement and initial punch are fantastic and he moves well for a guy who is 6-foot-6. He keeps his balance at all times and you will never catch him leaning. He sometimes sacrifices his footwork against the really speedy edge rushers, but makes up for it with his hands and strength. He visited San Diego State and UCLA recently. https://twitter.com/xMisa_75/status/1502834919201918980?s=20&t=WN2NhopjKFEae6uszGbrmg 1. [player_tooltip player_id="25435" first="Jonah" last="Rodriguez"], Madison Rodriguez is easily the best athlete on this list. He does a good job replacing his hands when guys try to rip his away or do spin moves on him. There is a play on his film where he is in pass protection and the edge blitzer pivots to go through the B gap and Rodriguez drives the end inside to knock the blitzer off-balanced. It’s a brilliant play where his dominance was on display. He tosses guys around effortlessly and is a quality defensive lineman as well. He is well over 10 offers with Nevada joining the club this month. https://twitter.com/JonahRodz/status/1465488275477434372?s=20&t=WN2NhopjKFEae6uszGbrmg
