<p>When the <strong><em>Prep Redzone Florida</em></strong> Pre-Season Class of 2024 rankings were released, there were a number of positions well represented. One of the big talent surprises was on the offensive line.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Never recognized as a state that churned out quality big men on offense, times have changed – and while areas such as Pennsylvania, Ohio and many other states across the nation still boast some tremendous line prospects, the state of Florida is catching up.<br></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With more versatile two-way line prospects being produced each and every season, it is now evident that the Sunshine State has those standouts who are finding their way to Power 5 and Group of 5 schools.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In addition, more emphasis is put on the line position year round, giving more attention to the position and paving the way for colleges and universities to head down to uncover the next rising star.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With our pre-season look at 2023 and 2024 players by position, today we focus in on the Class of 2024 linemen – many who are on the radar.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As we have done with all our previews and rankings, we encourage feedback for additions and changes to be made. These lists are viewed by college coaches across the country, and for that reason, we want to make them correct.</p>
