– The #3 offensive lineman overall in the state in my latest 2025 rankings update, Cunningham (6’3″ 291) has really put in the work to become a D1 prospect skill wise and in the weight room, and that work has paid off with two D1 offers to date from Missouri State and Lindenwood University, with Toledo and Northern Illinois both also showing interest and having him in for junior day visits. Mike reminds me a lot of recent Missouri signee

at the same point in his recruitment last year both with his size, skills set, punch and aggressive play along the O-line. Also in his versatility to be able to play every spot along the line. Look for his recruitment to continue to pick up this spring, summer and through his senior season.

North Point
– Another tireless worker is my #7 overall offensive line prospect in the state. Briddell (6’3″ 265) plays left tackle in high school, but has the tools and skill that will be perfect on the interior of the OL on the next level at guard or center. Carter has a good frame that can add an additional 30 pounds and keep his quick feet, explosion and speed. He uses his hands well, can play violent, and displays equally well his run blocking and pass pro skills. He just landed his first D1 offer and will continue to see his recruiting profile rise this spring and summer.

– If schools are looking for a real stock riser to lay eyes on this spring and summer, then the (6’5″ 280) Meitz is that guy. He showed a lot of potential last year at this time when he attended the Elite Combine at 6’4″ 260, but has grown both physically and as a player, again with his hard work and continuing to build his skills with training and in the weight room. While he seemed better suited to play inside at OG last year, he looks like he could bring the versatility to play OT on the next level at well. Stephen has a good kick step, quick feet, good hands he uses well in pass pro, and continues to improve his flexibility. He is a strong run blocker whose pass pro skills are catching up.

Cardinal Ritter
– Gladney (6’5″ 280) was a part of the Class 5 state championship team offensive line that produced a high powered offense in both the run and passing game. Anthony has good size, long arms, good footwork, and moves really well. He could wind up playing tackle or guard on the next level, and can be as good as he wants to be with dedication and continuing to work on his skills and in the weight room. He’s a rising sleeper to watch for.

– Another talented sleeper is the (6’4″ 250) Hertlein, who is also a very talented baseball player and athlete. Andy moves very well for his size and as an offensive lineman with his overall quickness and ability to run. He has good hips, is explosive and good strength and run blocking ability. He uses his hands and athleticism to his advantage in pass pro. He had a few game day visits last season after schools saw his ability, and will likely be on more schools radar after baseball season.
