2025 Rankings Update: Offensive Linemen

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the 2023 high school football season quickly approaching, it is time for some rankings updates! For the state of Kentucky, the updated Top 150 rankings for the talented 2025 class have been posted. With that being said, I will be taking the next couple weeks to breakdown these updated rankings by position. After already covering the skill positions, I will wrap up the offensive side of the ball by focusing on our top offensive linemen in the class of 2025 in the state of Kentucky.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["373082"],"_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":"Over the past couple seasons, [player_tooltip player_id='373082' first='Isaac' last='Sowells Jr.'] has solidified himself as one of the best overall players in his class. Sowells lines up at center and plays a key role in Male's high-powered offense. He is a physical mauler in the run game, showing the ability to drive his man down the field and finish his blocks through the whistle. Isaac is also very reliable in pass protection. He does a great job of picking up stunts/blitzes and keeps a strong base, not allowing for much penetration into the pocket. Sowells has had a very successful off-season as he now holds offers from South Carolina, Wake Forest, James Madison, Toledo, Kentucky, Bethune-Cookman, Louisville, Eastern Kentucky, and Indiana State, and I expect more to come his way as he is a true Power 5 caliber offensive line prospect.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["735990"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='735990' first='Ben' last='Stotts'] is an offensive lineman that has been high on our radar for a while now. Stotts lines up at right guard and is a key component in CAL's run game. He plays with a ton of physicality, showing the ability to drive his man off the line of scrimmage and finish his blocks through the whistle. Stotts also does a great job of getting up to the second level and picking up blocks in the open field. In pass protection, Stotts has impressive footwork and keeps a strong base, not allowing for much penetration into the pocket. Ben currently holds offers from North Alabama and Eastern Kentucky, and I expect more to come his way soon as he is a Division I caliber offensive line prospect.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["373822"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='373822' first='Dylan' last='Stewart'] is another offensive line prospect that has been high on our radar for a while now. Stewart lines up at right tackle where he is a dominant run blocker. He explodes out of his stance and shows the ability to drive his man several yards down the field. Stewart also has a powerful initial punch that has proven to knock opposing defensive linemen off their feet. He has also shown the ability to pull from the tackle spot and pick up blocks in the open field as a lead blocker. Dylan currently holds an offer from Eastern Kentucky and I expect more to come his way as he has the talent to play at the Division I level.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["331714"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='331714' first='Logan' last='Russell'] is an offensive lineman that truly caught my attention last season. Russell starts at left tackle for Ballard where he is very impressive in pass protection. He has great footwork which allows him to mirror opposing pass rushers off the edge. Russell also does a great job of  picking up stunts/blitzes and continuing to find work to protect his quarterback. He is also very reliable as a run blocker, showing the ability to get to the second level and pick up blocks in open space then drive his man out of the picture. Russell currently holds an offer from Eastern Kentucky and I expect more to come his way as he is a Division I caliber offensive line prospect.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["735993"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"To wrap up our top five offensive linemen in the class of 2025 in the state of Kentucky, I have [player_tooltip player_id='735993' first='Jackson' last='Dialls']. Dialls looks to be the next in line of an impressive tradition of Division I offensive linemen coming out of the Frederick Douglass program. Jackson is a big, athletic offensive tackle measuring in at 6'6”, 270 pounds with impressive footwork. He has been sitting behind some Power 5 caliber offensive linemen so he has had time to be able to grow in the weight room, throwing around some impressive weight. Dialls currently holds an offer from Miami (OH) and I expect more to come his way as he continues to develop and see more playing time in the Broncos' offense.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64c2ac0fbf270"} /--> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Best of the Rest (Players Included in Top 150):</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>6.
