Canada 2025 Rankings Positional Breakdown: Offensive Line

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check out the updated 2025 Canada Rankings <a href="https://prepredzone.com/canada/rankings/2025-rankings/">HERE</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the position groups that seems to dominate the rankings is the offensive line - it comes as no surprise especially considering how many of the top Canadian prospects who are playing in America are also offensive linemen. This group may not currently sit as high as some of the top defensive lineman in the 2025 rankings but below we are showcasing a really deep class of big guys who have really solid tape in the trenches and many of whom are already getting some serious love from the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/position-ranking-table {"name":"acf/position-ranking-table","data":{"class":"2025","_class":"field_65cfb7374abb9","position":"2405","_position":"field_65cfbfcb19ad6","national_rankings":"0","_national_rankings":"field_660c1d73c0e49","state":"3466","_state":"field_65cfb88a603fe"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-663532e469249"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1213545' first='TaMarley' last='Smith'] - Clarkson Football North</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smith is a must-mention type of player and as the only OL in the top 5 should be recognized not just with the top OL in the 2025 class in Canada but with the best football players in the 2025 class. Currently, the only 2025 prospect committed to an NCAA school - Smith is set to join an old Clarkson Football North teammate at Eastern Michigan. Smith has a massive frame at 6'6 and 82in wingspan and 10.5in hands. Smith has good foot speed and he is built more like a wrestler than your typical offensive lineman. He showcases some positional versatility and is physical with his hands at the point of attack. Smith was the clear #1 guy in the country and it was one of the only positions where the top player was so definitive. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1150114' first='Davin' last='Berry'] - Riffel</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Berry could be the biggest OL prospect in the country and the 6'8 tackle from Riffel in Saskatchewan is one of the highest-ranked players from his province. Berry showcases elite length and although he is very lean he showcases a really strong initial punch and the ability to use his length to control blocks in space. Berry will need to continue to add more weight and strength to his game, especially his lower half but he plays the game with a physical attitude and has skills that cannot be taught. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1216179' first='Luke' last='McEvoy'] - St. Peter's</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McEvoy is not only a huge prospect but he has a ton of accolades for his performance and is a top performer in the classroom with a 4.0. McEvoy is already getting some serious love from USports programs and the tape tells you why. McEvoy has strong hands and at the tackle position, his size and length give defensive ends a hard time getting inside or around him. McEvoy moves well and he does attempt to play with leverage - at times the guys he is blocking are so much smaller it is impossible for him to play lower. More explosive movements and more explosive punch would really put McEvoy amongst the top players in this class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='887037' first='James' last='Carr'] - Paul Kane</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carr out of Paul Kane in Alberta is the top true interior guy that I am highlighting here and Kane has the size to be a mauling interior offensive lineman. His best position I think is guard and he showcases the ability to be an effective lead blocker when pulling. Kane creates impact on initial contact and has natural strength in his body and hands. He showcases good foot speed and that is a big reason he can block in space and get to the next level. With a lean lower half - adding more strength to his legs would help him develop a really strong anchor in pass pro - something that there is not a lot of reps of on tape. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='887036' first='Adam' last='Marko'] - All Saints</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Marko out of All Saints is another prospect from Alberta but he standouts out amongst the other guys highlighted because he is the only prospect on this list that is not above or near 300lbs. Marko is a 245lb OT who is a two-way player and the reason I wanted to highlight him was because if you add the necessary weight and strength to his game his tape at tackle showcases a player with the foot speed, hand placement, and finishing ability to be a successful tackle at the next level. Marko's film is solid and he can continue to develop his body as he develops his game he is a prospect who can play OT at the next level. He is on the Watchlist at OL because I need to see more OT tape and the development of his size to truly project him to the position - and from the limited OL tape it is clear that is his best position. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
