With that being said, I wanted to highlight some players at each position that deserve and are still seeking their first college offer. After already covering the offensive skill players, here are some offensive linemen in the class of 2025 in the state of Missouri that still need offers.
Tyler Pate Tyler Pate 6’3″ | 305 lbs | OL Lee’s Summit North | 2025 State MO is an offensive lineman that put together some very impressive junior year film. He lines up at left tackle where he is very impressive as a run blocker. Pate plays with a high motor, showing the ability to get to the second level quickly and keep his head on a swivel to continue to find work on long runs. He has also proven to be reliable in pass protection, showing the ability to get into his pass sets quickly to mirror pass rushers off the edge. I expect some offers to come his way soon as Tyler has received some college interest and has the talent to play at the next level.
Bo Smith Bo Smith 6’2″ | 310 lbs | OL Chillicothe | 2025 State MO is another offensive lineman that stood out as a junior. He lines up at left tackle where he is a dominant run blocker. Smith is a true mauler, exploding out of his stance and driving his man off the line of scrimmage. He finishes his blocks with a ton of physicality, resulting in several pancake blocks. I wouldn’t be surprised to see that first offer come soon for Bo as he has already received some college interest and has the talent to play somewhere at the next level.
Highlights
Another offensive lineman that caught my eye when evaluating junior year film was Anthony Gladney Anthony Gladney 6’5″ | 280 lbs | OL Cardinal Ritter | 2025 State MO . Gladney lines up at right tackle where is a very impressive run blocker. He does a great job of walking off his man to create an insides running lane for the ball carrier. Gladney has also shown the ability to keep his legs running through contact to drive his man down the field. He is also reliable in pass protection, showing the ability to mirror opposing pass rushers and counter any pass rush moves that are thrown at him. Gladney has received a little college interest but I expect more eyes to be on him heading into his senior year.
My final offensive lineman in this series is Jacob Lile Jacob Lile 6’3″ | 270 lbs | OL Nixa | 2025 State MO from Nixa. Lile lines up at right guard where he is a very impressive run blocker. He is very reliable as a pulling guard, showing the ability to get up the field quickly and destroy any defender in his path as a lead blocker. Lile has also shown the ability to drive his man several yards down the field and finish his blocks through the whistle with a ton of physicality. Jacob hasn’t reported much college interest but he is a player that coaches should definitely keep their eyes on heading into his senior year.
