Kentucky Future Stars: Top 2027 Offensive Linemen

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After the Kentucky Future Stars Game at Austin Peay University last month, it's time to look back at some of the most impressive performers from the Bluegrass State that made significant contributions during the 8th grade contest at Fortera Stadium. After evaluating some intriguing quarterback, wide receiver and running back prospects from the state, it's time to conclude our breakdown of the offense as we review some highly physical offensive linemen. Without any further ado, here's my list of the top 2027 offensive linemen on Team Kentucky to watch out for.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["611306"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64af9bcf92a6b"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At the top of my list of standouts is [player_tooltip player_id='611306' first='Fisher' last='Brinegar'], a 6-foot-4, 280-pound offensive lineman at Mayfield High School. Brinegar impressed me during the Kentucky vs. Tennessee Future Stars Game, showcasing commanding strength and durability on the field. In addition to outstanding size and physicality at the line, what stands out about Brinegar is his ability to absorb defensive pressure and contain playmakers on the other side of the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["500073"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64b03b479855d"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Claiming a second place finish on my list is [player_tooltip player_id='500073' first='Justyn' last='Perez'], a 6-foot-3, 270-pound offensive lineman at Woodford County High School. Perez was another talented and crucial piece of the Bluegrass State's offensive line during the Kentucky vs. Tennessee Future Stars Game, playing a big role in keeping the offense organized and composed. What stands out most about Perez is his size and physical build, using his durability and strength to consistently contain the defense, combat pressure and protect his quarterback.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["378828"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64af9bcf92b08"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Finishing in the number three spot on my list of standouts is [player_tooltip player_id='378828' first='Brady' last='Hull'], a 6-foot-3, 285-pound offensive lineman at Pulaski County High School. Hull contributed excellent toughness and physicality at the line, frustrating the opposition with his overall durability and ability to withstand a relentless defensive effort. Another aspect of Hull that catches my eye is his strength and ability to overpower defenders, buying the offense more time to make plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["871920"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64af9bcf92bcc"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At number four on my list is [player_tooltip player_id='871920' first='Austyn' last='Lawless'], a 6-foot-0, 190-pound offensive lineman and defensive lineman at Somerset High School. Lawless made a big difference on both sides of the ball during the Kentucky vs. Tennessee Future Stars Game, using his knowledge, experience and athleticism on both sides to make a difference. What stands out most about Lawless is his unmatched strength, his ability to read the defense and his consistency in overpowering playmakers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
