Kitchens is going to emerge to be one of the highest ranked offensive linemen in this class. He is not a guy that is just walking around with a lot of size. Kitchens knows how to move around on the line. At 6-foot-8, 298 pounds, he is expected to be a tackle on the next level. That position is going to fit him well. He is a guy that is already a monster in his team’s running game. College coaches want to see what he looks like in his drop step more.
Mitchell Smith Mitchell Smith 6'5" | 300 lbs | OL Picayune | 2026 State MS
Smith is the other guy that has been impressive in this bunch. A lot of college coaches are already familiar with his game. Smith is another 2026 MS OL coaches expect to be a tackle on the next level. Smith has some great size at 6-foot-6. He also has a high motor when he is out there on the field. Be sure to keep up with this kid.
Skeen is a player from Louisville who is super intelligent. This young man is smart in the classroom and on the field. He is a back-to-back starting state title center. Skeen knows what to do. He is a guy that we think has the talent to play on the division one level. His size is going to be a major factor. He definitely has what it takes to play center. He has proven that over his past two seasons at Louisville.
Aydan Newell
We all know that Newell is already starting to receive some power five attention. This is guy that is expected to play tackle on the next level, but he could even fit in as a good guard. Newell holds it down for Brandon and makes ways for his runners. He also knows how to pass protect. Newell could possibly be a guy that we see grow a couple of more inches. Right now, he is listed at 6-foot-4.
Ryan Taylor
Taylor is that guy. He is a player known for his play at center. I was able to see Taylor in person at the PRZ Showcase in Jackson, MS. He was impressive at that camp. His height is going to be what coaches will be keeping an eye on. He has a lot of talent and a lot of heart. He was a young guy that was always ready to compete when he stepped on the field.
