This week on Prep Redzone Oklahoma, we’re continuing our ranking update with a spotlight on some of the top 2025 prospects in the state. On Monday, we released our updated 2025 rankings. Throughout this week, we’ll be breaking down different position groups and overall standouts in the state’s 2025 class. In this post, we’re putting the spotlight on the best of the best at the offensive line position. These prospects make up the top five at the position. Keep it locked in throughout the week for more breakdowns on 2025 prospects. And check back next Monday for our final prospect ranking update when we look at the 2024 class!
It’s safe to say that Owasso’s offensive line duo of Ryker Haff Ryker Haff 6’6″ | 290 lbs | OL Owasso | 2025 State OK and Blake Cherry Blake Cherry 6’6″ | 290 lbs | OL Owasso | 2025 State OK are going to be linked for the foreseeable future. The two tackle prospects once again are sitting on top of the OL rankings during the latest update and there isn’t much that separates the two. For Haff, he’s lining up this season at the right tackle position and appears to be absolutely special in run blocking situations. He is violent at the point of attack and he’s not going to be overpowered in many situations. So when we see that, it’s no surprise that the Rams are having a ton of success running the football right now. The numbers show that and when you toss on the film, it’s a no brainer as to why they have had that success. One thing that really impresses us when you throw on the film is the various plays that pop up where things just look easy for Haff.
Highlights
On the other side of that offensive line, you have left tackle Blake Cherry Blake Cherry 6’6″ | 290 lbs | OL Owasso | 2025 State OK and the Owasso standout has done a good job of keeping the blind side taken care of. The Rams have had a lot of success running the ball but this is still a balanced offense and that’s the perfect description for Cherry. It doesn’t matter if the Rams are running or throwing, it seems like Cherry is always able to beat the guy in front of him. We mentioned how Cherry and Haff would be linked for a while and that’s not new information. Following their freshman seasons, both started getting interest from D1 programs. Cherry’s recruitment has continued to grow this season as he continues to add to an already impressive list. When we look at this Owasso offensive line with Cherry and Haff and a few younger prospects on the interior, this group is special already.
In the last ranking update, Nathan Hale offensive lineman Javion Antai Javion Antai 6’4″ | 300 lbs | OL Nathan Hale | 2025 State OK joined the fold as one of the best prospects at his position. We mentioned back in June that Antai was one of the best prospects that we saw during our team camp tour in May and June. And it felt like only a matter of time before his recruitment took off. That’s exactly what happened as Antai started earning offers from power five programs later in the summer. Antai is an absolute force up front and he also feels like a prospect that is just scratching the surface on what he can be moving forward. Antai is like a block of clay that is going to be molded at the next level. There are several P5 coaches that have already bought into his potential and we don’t think they’ll be the only ones. When next spring rolls around, more coaches will take notice of his potential.
Union offensive lineman Jesse Jones Jesse Jones 6’2″ | 280 lbs | OL Union | 2025 State OK continues to impress us every time we see him either on film or in person. When it comes to playing the offensive line alone, so not including defense, Jones might be the most versatile prospect in the state. Jones has played all five positions along the offensive line and he’s never looked out of place no matter where he lines up. As a freshman, Jones started for Jenks on a team that won a state championship. This season, it is clear that Jones has the complete faith of the Union coaching staff as they continue to plug and play him in different spots. The most recent position is the center spot and it’s going to be interesting to see what happens moving forward. Because based on his size, a spot on the interior, whether that’s guard or center seems like the natural fit for Jones at the next level.
Highlights
Sulphur standout Justus Gilliam Justus Gilliam 6’1″ | 250 lbs | OL Sulphur | 2025 State OK has been a prospect that we’ve watched since his freshman season. He dominated when he was at our camp back in April. And so far this season, Gilliam has done a really good job while lining up at the left tackle position. One thing that really impresses us about his junior tape is that it’s not just him beating up on lesser competition. He has moments facing off against notable DL and he wins with ease. Now, moving forward, it is going to be interesting to see where Gilliam ends up at the next level. On offense, his size translates more to the interior of the offensive line. But then you throw on his tape and you see him being an absolute bull on the defensive side of the ball. Gilliam is one of the more versatile 2025 prospects when you’re talking about the big men on the line of scrimmage.
