Impressive OL Prospects On The Rise

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Which peach-state OL prospects are seeing their stock take off on the recruiting trail?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Redzone has all the details below...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jacobe Ward - Benedictine</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Arguably the top interior offensive lineman in the Savannah area, Ward is a big 6-foot-4 305-pounder who can play physical in the trenches. Helping lead Benedictine to another state championship, Ward is coming off an impressive sophomore season where he consistently held his own against tough defenders week in and week out. A consistent run blocker and pass protector on the inside, he also brings some versatility as he can play both guard and center. He's thick in the lower body and still has time to continue adding good weight. He has a high ceiling, and he's one of the many talented 2025 offensive linemen in the peach state seeing his recruitment take off. The Savannah native and two-time state champion already held impressive offers from Boston College and Minnesota, and now he's earned a new offer from LSU. Just a sophomore, look for Ward to have a big junior season and see more D1 offers come his way sooner than later.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='411923' first='Justin' last='Hasenhuetl'] - Rabun-Gap</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top 2025 OL prospects not only in North Georgia, but across the state, Hasenhuetl is extremely athletic for his size at 6-foot-5 285-pounds who can line up at multiple spots on the offensive line. He can play tackle, guard, and even catch passes if moved to thee tight end position. He shows great footwork, but his grittiness and toughness really stand out. He moves extremely well and still has a frame that will allow him to add more muscle and mass over the next few years. When he latches on to a defender, he's going to put them on the ground. He's a major weapon on the offensive line and will climb higher and higher in the Prep Redzone 2025 rankings in the next update. Rabun-Gap has one of the top 2025 classes in Georgia, and Hasenhuetl is one of the best on the roster. He has major D1 size, talent, and strength, and it's led to offers from Florida State, Louisville, Georgia Southern, among others.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Clinton Richard - Hiram</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top OL prospects in West Georgia, Richard is a a two-way standout for a great Hiram program who absolutely bullied opposing defenders last season at left tackle. At 6-foot-5 300-pounds, he's a big, physical presence who can block his initial defender and get to the second level to find a linebacker to put on his butt. He plays with balance, leverage, and brings some toughness to the tackle position. He has the size and quickness to play some guard too and does a great job of opening up running lanes both on the edge and between the trenches. He knows how to eliminate defenders from the play and will block his butt off until the whistle if blown. He's an excellent interior defensive lineman, but his ability to dominate as a tackle will help the Hiram offense improve even more in 2023. His stock is on the rise, and he added a new offer recently from Vanderbilt. He has easy D1 talent and he's bound for a monster senior season on both sides of the ball for the Hornets. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/justinhasenhuet"></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/justinhasenhuet"></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/justinhasenhuet"></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
