#PRZTN Crystal Ball: Breakthrough Off. Linemen

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Within possibly the deepest position group inside the #TN2025 class, here we provide you some offensive linemen that we feel are poised for big breakout senior seasons.</h2>     <a href="https://prepredzone.com/tennessee/prospect-database/?player_name=&high_school_name=&class%5B%5D=2025&position%5B%5D=OL&commitment=">#TN2025 Offensive Line Database</a>   (OT/G) [player_tooltip player_id='466272' first='Noah' last='Hacker'] - Lipscomb Academy   - Sporting great size at 6'7 275 pounds, Hacker brings the physical build and look to the field along with the upside to potentially handle left tackle on the collegiate level. The Mustangs senior O-lineman had a solid junior year but after an offseason where Hacker has put on more weight while enhancing his game, look for college coaches to start taking a harder look at this Nashville area big man. What should be appealing about this guy is of course his size but also his potential to handle either tackle position in college while also having the growing power to play offensive guard as well. Hacker moves well for his size, showing good feet along with powerful hands to keep defenders in-check. He needs to continue his progression while forming his body but the raw tools are there to become something special.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/NoahHacker16/status/1749862492648378598 </div></figure>   - - - - -    (OT/G) [player_tooltip player_id='1157374' first='Sam' last='Spicer'] - Pope Prep   - Spicer is possibly the one guy on this list that I see the brightest future out of as this Mid-Tennessee talent has the size and skill set to possibly develop into a blind side left tackle inside the college game. Standing 6 '5 275 pounds with not much bad weight on his frame, Spicer is a well put together young man that plays explosive and violent along with a mobile lower base that allows him to get into space quickly. The Knights senior O-lineman shows outstanding mobility on film along with tenacity and the eagerness to put guys on their backs. Spicer does show upside to handle the tackle position in college but he must continue adding in more power and weight along with furthering his skill set to become the kind of player I feel like he can become. It will be interesting to watch his progression over the next several months as I could see Spicer exploding on the recruiting scene sooner than later.    - - - - -    (OL) [player_tooltip player_id='219432' first='Judd' last='Taylor'] - Carter    - A multi-year starter for his Carter football team, Taylor is headed into his senior year still sitting under the radar but he could be in-store for his best year yet and a breakout season that should lead him to the collegiate gridiron. This East Tennessee talent has a nice body, frame to build upon along with long arms and an explosive lower base that plays up well on the next level. His ability to fire off the snap and get into his blocks quickly are impressive but because of that, it shows upside with his pass blocking at multiple positions across the offensive line. His best upside may reside inside at guard or center but Taylor has enough athleticism to handle the tackle position if needed. Work must be continued in the weight room, adding in the needed pounds but the talent is there to see Taylor become an eventual FCS, potential D1 recruited guy.    - - - - -    (OL) [player_tooltip player_id='808035' first='A.J.' last='Johnson'] - Page   - Athletic and raw with O-line versatility, Johnson is one of the more intriguing talents across the offensive front from our #TN2025 class that I see a bright future out of somewhere down the road. Sporting a great body with very little body fat, Johnson is a well built offensive lineman that can be groomed into a potential college tackle on the next level. He has a mobile lower base with good feet as well as strong hands to keep defenders at bay while riding them up field and away from the quarterback. Johnson is also a great worker with football smarts, so I believe he could grow and develop at guard or center as well. So far throughout this recruiting cycle, Johnson has yet to receive much interest and I think that is confusing because the Patriots O-lineman is legit with tons of tools to build upon and grow into a potential starting college trench monster.    - - - - -    (OG/C) [player_tooltip player_id='466285' first='Kasen' last='Langley'] - Overton   - Even though his Bobcats team struggled in the 2023 season, Langley did not and as a matter of a fact, I think he got better in multiple areas that pushes his stock further up the recruiting charts. This is a violent competitor that has good athleticism and explosive movements that can work at several positions across the offensive front. Langley handles tackle for his Overton team but his biggest might reside inside at guard or center where he can use his natural aggression and strength to dominate with his run blocking. His action as a pass blocker does need work but with his athletic lower base and explosiveness, Langley could develop at right tackle if needed. Coming out of the Nashville area, Langley definitely sits under the radar at the moment but could be a big breakout star with strong performances this summer at camps and a dominating senior year.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/08/klangley.jpg?w=400" alt="" class="wp-image-944882" style="width:328px;height:auto" /></figure>   - - - - -    (OG) [player_tooltip player_id='938106' first='Bo' last='Bryan'] - Rockvale   - A mauler and technician on the offensive front, Bryan heads into the 2024 season as one of the better O-line prospects from the greater Rutherford County area that has already landed a strong offer from the hometown MTSU Blue Raiders. The Rockets senior offensive lineman is a bruiser in the trenches that enjoys the physical part of the game but Bryan is also a deceptive athlete that shows solid pass blocking on film. Once this Mid-Tennessee mauler gets his hands on you, it's almost over as Bryan allows his aggressive nature and power to take over. He does need to continue working on his lower base agility and overall athleticism but the power tools are there to become an excellent guard prospect on the collegiate level.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/01/152-Bo-Bryan.jpg?w=959" alt="" class="wp-image-1138306" style="width:293px;height:auto" /></figure>   - - - - -    (OG/C) [player_tooltip player_id='219443' first='Ty' last='Murphy'] - Anderson Co.    - It feels like I've been reporting on this East Tennessee talent for multiple years now but as of today, Murphy still sits under the radar, waiting for his time and those offers to float his way. This Mavericks senior O-lineman is a multi-year starter with good experience starting at the center position, so he immediately brings value to the table as someone that knows how to snap. He sports good size too at 6'3 270 pounds plus with room to add more. The additional size would allow Murphy to possibly handle all three interior O-line positions on the next level as well as sustain his physicality up front. This is a good prospect, a clean player with multiple years of starting experience that could boost his stock tremendously this summer in college camps and another strong year as the leader up front for the Mavs offensive line.    - - - - -    (OL) [player_tooltip player_id='466282' first='Tyrin' last='Williams'] - Germantown   - Our lone West Tennessee representative here on this list is this Memphis area big man that took a big step in his progression last year as a junior but could be poised for an even bigger senior season that might place him on the FCS, D1 radar. Standing 6 '5 300 pounds, Williams is a big dude that takes up space but moves well for his size, using his natural power to maul over opponents while showing good feet that may allow him to stay out at tackle. The Red Devils senior O-lineman is a good athlete that shows the ability to block in space but for the college game, I think his biggest upside will reside inside at guard. His athleticism, physicality and size I see working well at guard where he can move people in the run game while supplying solid pass blocking from the interior. The next few months will be huge for Williams as he works to get onto the radar as one of the best at his position from the West TN region.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Bigtimety23/status/1767743120907641290 </div></figure>   - - - - -   (OL) [player_tooltip player_id='1240488' first='Charles' last='Pride'] - Mt. Juliet   - The Golden Bears could be in-store for a big 2024 year with an explosive offense but it all starts up front and begins with this guy, someone that could play his way into a college scholarship. Pride is a hidden gem that is still raw and learning but talented with some size and skills that translate well to the next level. First thing you notice about this Mid-Tennessee product is his overall size and arm length along with his flashes of explosive blocking. Pride is a naturally powerful young man that can get his hands up and into his defender's body quickly and drive him back with excellent force. He also shows good feet that can work with his pass blocking but that is an area that definitely needs continued work. Pride has some of the best upside of all the O-linemen in this list and a guy I will definitely continue watching as the next several months roll along.    - - - - - Five Others To Know About: [player_tooltip player_id='800806' first='Chris' last='Barnett'] - Blackman, [player_tooltip player_id='323141' first='Hayden' last='Warwick'] - Carter, [player_tooltip player_id='361308' first='Mason' last='Smith'] - Coalfield, [player_tooltip player_id='1209531' first='Kylan' last='Glynn'] - Halls, [player_tooltip player_id='219378' first='Connor' last='Coffman'] - Page   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/01/Hayden-Warwick.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1155185" style="width:488px;height:auto" /></figure>
