Spotlight Series: 2024 Offensive Line

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Now it's time to shine a light on the unsung heroes of every successful offense, the offensive line. Strength, size, and stability are three components every coach desires in their offensive line, and these five lineman check each of those boxes. Whether it is the quarterback relying on them to maintain the pocket, or a running back needing to follow the path they've created, these five lineman will be instant successes when it comes to the next level. Be on the lookout in 2023 for the havoc they create. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["387812"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Starting off with one of the tallest of the bunch, u003ca class=u0022font-medium text-gray-900u0022 href=u0022https://prepredzone.com/player/aidan-lynch/u0022u003eAidan Lynchu003c/au003e is a hidden gem in Mount Olive. Playing tackle and defensive end, Aiden was dominant on both sides of the ball. It only takes 45 seconds of watching his junior year highlights to see him drive multiple defenders into the ground. Coming from a smaller school, Aiden may not be the highest in the rankings just yet, but all that should change once the 2023 season begins.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63fc0760ea3ad"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14999593/63615b9c041e5b1540343386' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63fc0760ea430"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["375323"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"If you're looking for a tackle that already has the size for the next level, [player_tooltip player_id='375323' first='Juan' last='Minaya'] is your man.
