2025 Rankings Update 2.0: Offensive Line

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Now that another season of high school football is behind us in the state of Kentucky, it is time for some rankings updates. The updated top 175 for the class of 2025 in the state of Kentucky has been officially published. With that being said, I wanted to take the next week or so to break down these rankings by position. After already covering the offensive skill players, I will now turn my attention to the 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":"[player_tooltip player_id='373082' first='Isaac' last='Sowells Jr.'] continued to separate himself as the top offensive lineman in the class this past season. He made the move to right tackle where he was dominant as a run blocker. Sowells plays with a ton of physicality, showing the ability to explode out of his stance and drive his man several yards down the field. He finishes his blocks through the whistle, resulting in several pancake blocks. Sowells is also impressive in pass protection, showing the ability to mirror opposing pass rushers off the edge and keep a strong base, not allowing for much penetration into the pocket. Isaac currently holds multiple Division I/Power 4 offers and I expect more to come his way as he is a high 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 and continued to stand out this past season. He played a key role in CAL's 3A State Championship run. Stotts lines up at guard where he is very impressive in the run game. He explodes out of his stance and does a great job of running his feet through contact to drive his man down the field. Stotts also does a great job of getting to the second level and picking up blocks in open space. In pass protection, Stotts keeps a very strong base, not allowing for much penetration into the pocket and does a great job of protecting his inside gap. Ben currently holds offers from Eastern Kentucky and North Alabama, and I expect more to come his way going into his senior year 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 lineman that has been high on our radar for a while now and continued to impress this past season. Stewart lines up at left tackle where he is a very dominant run blocker. He does a great job of creating movement off the line of scrimmage and finishing his blocks through the whistle, resulting in several pancake blocks. Stewart also does a good job of getting to the second level and picking up blocks in the open field. He is also very reliable in pass protection, showing the ability to mirror opposing pass rushers off the edge and keep them away from his quarterback. 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 another junior offensive lineman that continued to stand out this past season. Russell lines up at left tackle where he is very reliable in pass protection. He has quick feet which he uses to get into his pass sets to mirror opposing pass rushers off the edge. Logan also does a great job of picking up stunts/blitzes while in his pass set. Russell is also impressive as a run blocker, showing the ability to drive his man down the field to create a running lane.

Anthony lines up at left tackle where he is very impressive as a run blocker. He does a great job of exploding out of his stance and driving his man several yards down the field to create a running lane. Gradey has also shown the ability to pull from the tackle spot and destroy any defender in his path once he turns up the field. He is also very reliable in pass protection, showing the ability to get into his pass sets quickly and mirror opposing pass rushers off the edge. Anthony recently picked up his first offer from Eastern Kentucky and I expect more to come his way as he has received a nice amount of college interest.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65b436dd6c11b"} /--> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Best of the Rest (Players Included in Top 175):</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>6.
