Continue ReadingThere are quite a few things you can’t teach a football player. Athleticism and speed are two of them, another one is size. As we all know, it’s not something we can control, at least from a height perspective and even from a weight perspective, it could be easier for some than others to add much-needed weight.
With that, in this article, we’re going to be taking a look at 2024 offensive linemen in the Keystone State for the class of 2024.
For the sake of making sure we cover players we don’t normally get to – this list will not include names like Peter Jones Peter Jones 6'5" | 300 lbs | OL Malvern Prep | 2024 State PA , Cooper Cousins Cooper Cousins 6'6" | 310 lbs | OL McDowell | 2024 State PA , Ryan Howard Ryan Howard 6'7" | 300 lbs | OL Downingtown West | 2024 State PA , Adham Abouraya Adham Abouraya 6'5" | 280 lbs | OL Downingtown East | 2024 State PA , Zachary Tomosovich Zachary Tomosovich 6'5" | 320 lbs | OL Penn-Trafford | 2024 State PA , and Jivani Cooley. These are all great players but we’ve talked about them before and their elite size is evident. But who are some of the offensive linemen with elite size that we haven’t been talking about?
Let’s take a look.
Vic Castillo Vic Castillo RB PA and I are huge advocated for McDonald and we’re still not sure why he’s not getting the much needed love that he deserves. Yes, he’s got “super elite” size at 6-foot-8 and there will be questions if he can move as quickly as he needs to at that size. But there’s nothing to lose on McDonald. If he winds up at the right program who is willing to be patient, the absolute ceiling here is phenomenal. It may not be always the smoothest to start out but with some patience the results could be extraordinary.
Highlights
Already at 6-foot-6, there’s plenty of room for McMonigle to add weight to his frame, getting to 320-330 in college should be no issue. He’s got very good feet and athleticism for a player his size as well. While it’s not an offensive line highlight, you could see his athleticism below.
Check out my highlight – https://t.co/CDBHld462R Had a season with lots of ups and downs. I saw major development as a player and I’m looking forward for my seanior season!! @ZGoldTU

Highlights
Andrewson already has a college ready frame and he’s got very good athleticism, showing the ability to pull on a routine basis. Has been part of great offensive lines at Haverford and should be the leader of another great one this upcoming fall. Can play guard or tackle at the next level if needed.

Highlights
A borderline top 100 prospect – Kirlin is already at 6-foot-6 and 305-pounds, a near collage ready frame. Quality athlete overall and someone who could be versatile enough to play inside or tackle. Somebody we believe could have a strong senior campaign.

He may only be at 240-pounds right now but overtime, Svoboda should be able to push the 300+ mark quite easily especially once he gets into a college strength and conditioning program. Shows quality athleticism at his size and much like McDonald, will need some more patience perhaps. While we have him in the 300s, there is plenty of room for growth and he does have FCS upside. Wouldn’t rule out a FBS program willing to take a chance on him with his size either as a PWO.

Lauresen is another player we have in the 300s but don’t let that fool you. As with any prospect at this point will require patience but we have already seen a great bit of development in him since we first ranked him last year. Another player receiving FCS interest as well as some interest from FBS programs.
