There are MANY other offensive lineman who could be put on this list. I am listing the players who’s stat line stood out, who people recommended but most importantly, ONLY players who either I watched live or was able to watch highlights from their specific game. For the best chance to be featured, send me your weekly film on twitter. My handle is “@DevinRecord”, please don’t have any hard feelings if you weren’t included.

Aidan has great size standing at 6’3″. He’s been holding up the right side of the line mostly this season, creating big holes for his RB in week 2. He finishes every block to the whistle, driving many opposing players into the ground. His hand placement was right in the perfect spot. He was the reason for a couple of the big runs specifically, as he kept the defensive line in check all night. He will continue to have a great year on the offensive side and defensive side of the ball.
Bryce and the Lake Stevens offensive line stands out quite a bit, given the fact they have Notre Dame commit Jayden Limar Jayden Limar 5’9″ | 190 lbs | RB Lake Stevens | 2023 State WA in the backfield. They are able to create holes for Limar to sneak through and run to the next level. The one play that Slezak had against Bellevue HS week 2 was a pull block that he did. It was a little screen pass to the receiver and Bryce sprinted to get ahead of his teammate and get the block. I had never seen an offensive lineman move that quickly, it was very impressive. His athleticism on the line is some of the best in the entire state.

Joe looked excellent week 2 for Capital HS. He lined up at the right tackle position and held up his side well all night. In pass protection, his feet were active and choppy. He moved well all night long, protecting his quarterback. He finished all of his blocks through the whistle, never backing down. His strength was showing throughout the game as well, being able to control the opposing defensive line with ease.
Ryan had a great week 2 against Silas HS playing the left guard position. He had many pancakes, driving the opposing defensive line into the ground till the whistles blew. He’s as strong as anyone in the state, he showed that by even taking down opposing players who were bigger than him. His hands are always in the correct spot and he keeps his feet moving until the play is over. He’s crazy athletic, fast, and I’m excited for the rest of the season and next.
Highlights
I’ve said many great things about Dane. He fits the mold of a solid left tackle on an offensive line. He holds up his blocks as well as anyone and is extremely athletic. Lynden runs the football a lot but they run it very, very well. He’s another one of those players who won’t stop until the whistle is blown, like every good offensive lineman should. Lynden will continue to be a top team in the state, so I’m sure we will be hearing more from this senior lineman.
