Here are the offensive linemen who stood out and were selected as Top Performers by the college coaches in attendance coaching them up along with the best of the rest who deserved a mention too!
MVP
2025 Linsly OL Brock Kuttie Brock Kuttie 6’5″ | 275 lbs | OL Linsly | 2025 State WV is what we call in the football business a “Grown *** Man”. The 6’5 big man rightfully earned OL MVP honors at the Combine this past Saturday and looked like a prototypical next-level offensive tackle prospect who will have plenty of options for where he wants to play in college. Kuttie is long and athletic which are the first two traits you look for in an OT prospect, but that wasn’t what stood out the most about his performance. What we loved the most about his play during the event was his fire and competitiveness. Kuttie unleashed a side of him that left you with no doubts about his passion and desire to be the top lineman in attendance.
That’s a trait you can’t always see when only watching film, and it was great to see it come out during the Combine. You could really see it in the 1-on-1s segment and the final rep at the end of the camp with the Top Performers being matched against with each other.
Highlights
Top Performers
2025 Wheeling Park OL Hunter Means Hunter Means 6’2″ | 280 lbs | OL Wheeling Park | 2025 WV was a bit of an unknown coming into the Combine due to limited film available but quickly made himself known while on his way to earning an OL Top Performer spot. We had a good feeling that Means would show us a lot more at the event than we were able to see on film, and he answered our questions emphatically. His wrestling background helps him a ton on the football field, and Means was also able to show us some quality athleticism and good footwork to pair with his leverage ability and strength from his time on the mat.
Means opened a lot of eyes during the camp including ours and the college coaches in attendance. His performance will be reflected in our next 2025 rankings update later in the summer.
Highlights
You could’ve polled everyone in attendance and asked them if they thought Washington’s Vincent Arnicar Vincent Arnicar 6’2″ | 315 lbs | OL Washington | 2027 WV was only a freshman and none of them would’ve said yes unless they knew this young man before the Combine. The 2027 prospect not only doesn’t have the appearance of a freshman, but he also didn’t perform like one either. Arnicar earned an OL Top Performer spot among an offensive line group that posted some talented and older offensive linemen and showed us that he’s going to be a serious prospect down the road if he continues this path of development.
Arnicar is a very big athlete for his age and doesn’t lack the strength to match it at this stage of his career. He’ll continue to make strides in his footwork and quickness, but the early foundation he’s built gives him a great platform to build on over the next three years.
2026 Jefferson OL Silas Speet Silas Speet 6’1″ | 250 lbs | OL Jefferson | 2026 State WV battled hard during the Combine and earned himself a spot in the Top 5 OL Performers group. He backed up what we saw on film heading into the event and the strength and power was confirmed in person. Speet is built very well for a sophomore lineman with a frame to continue adding size to it. He did a nice job of brushing off a couple of tough reps against some very good defensive linemen in attendance and finished the camp strong which earned him recognition from the college coaches who were coaching him up. Speet made a case for himself to rise even higher in the 2026 rankings where he’s already in the Top 75 and just outside the Top 15 for offensive linemen.
The future is bright for this young man who is ahead of the curve from a physical and development standpoint for his age and proved he could compete with some of the best linemen the state has to offer right now.
Highlights
We were fans of 2025 Hurricane OL Drake Lanham Drake Lanham 6’3″ | 265 lbs | OL Hurricane | 2025 State WV ‘s game heading into the Combine, and he was able to confirm the high regards we had for him during the event. Lanham earned a spot in the OL Top 5 Performers from the college coaches and is making steady progression is his game. He just keeps getting bigger as time goes on and has came on strong since his time as an underclassman when he was more of a DL prospect. The added size and strength has greatly raised his ceiling as a now OL prospect who already ranks inside of our Top 15 for the position.
A strong senior season could propel Lanham even higher in our rankings, especially on the state side of things, and we expect another step forward in his development for his senior season which has saw a great start to it with a strong performance at the Combine.
Best of the Rest
Nitro 2025 OL Dom Wise Dom Wise 6’3″ | 305 lbs | OL Nitro | 2025 State WV could’ve easily been a 6th Top Performer from the offensive line group at the Combine. He’s a massive guard-type body who stuck out above most of the other linemen in attendance from a purely physical build standpoint. The strength and power we saw on film on his junior highlight tape was more than apparent when seeing him live and in person at the camp. Wise is a very strong athlete with broad shoulders that makes him an ideal guard prospect for the next level and should have some college options by the time Signing Day comes around. Footwork and quickness were the two main traits we wanted to see from him at the Combine, and Wise was able to show us that he can move adequately for his size and isn’t just a big body.
Wise was a big stock riser in our recent spring rankings update who now firmly sits inside of the Top 15 of 2025 offensive linemen.
Highlights
2026 Jefferson OL Kip Waldeck Kip Waldeck 6’1″ | 230 lbs | OL Jefferson | 2026 State WV was an undersized offensive line prospect that we liked a lot coming into the Combine and recently ranked during the spring update. He did some good things during the event and in 1-on-1s and confirmed that he’s a very strong athlete for his size and will continue to raise his ceiling the bigger he gets. There isn’t much bad weight on his 6’1 230 frame right now which is especially impressive given he’s only a sophomore. Waldeck is a great leverage player who can consistently beat his man in leverage and has a good understanding of how to use his smaller size and power against bigger bodies.
Once he continues growing physically, Waldeck will likely be a riser in our rankings and may have earned himself a bump in the summer update based on what we saw in person.
Highlights
We considered 2025 Shady Spring lineman Jon Cantley Jon Cantley 6’0″ | 240 lbs | DL Shady Spring | 2025 WV a defensive line prospect heading into the Combine, but he looked the part along the offensive line at the event. We knew he had the versatility to be considered for either side of the line, and he was able to answer the question we had for him for which side he looks best at. Size will be the one factor that hurts him, but Cantley was able to show he can handle bigger-bodied defensive lineman and was able to win some reps during 1-on-1s against them.
He should be a prospect that smaller colleges look hard at and likely caught the attention of some of the college coaches in attendance who were coaching him up.
I love the way 2025 Scott OL Zach McNeely Zach McNeely 5’10” | 275 lbs | OL Scott | 2025 WV carries himself and the approach he takes to competition. He’s a true competitor with a business-like approach that locks in when it’s time to compete. McNeely is another offensive line prospect who may be a bit undersized length wise but is very broad and strong which makes him a perfect fit for a small college guard. He’s an under-the-radar OL prospect that we’ve liked for a while and deserves some recognition for his play on the field and during the Combine.
McNeely can also move for his size which you can see below while running the 40! (Left side)
Highlights
2026 Herbert Hoover OL Mighty Lopez Mighty Lopez 6’1″ | 275 lbs | OL Herbert Hoover | 2026 State WV is an impressive looking sophomore that deserved to be mentioned in the best of the rest. Lopez recently debuted in our 2026 rankings as a Top 75 player and a Top 15 offensive lineman in the class which he backed up during the Combine. He’s very strong for his age and has a good wrestling background that we saw on film and were able to see during 1-on-1s. Lopez has great hands use and leverage ability from his time on the mat with a strong base and upper-body. He’s a talented interior lineman who saw a majority of his reps last season at center but can also slide over to guard and even some tackle.
Lopez was also able to show us he has the footwork and agility to pair with those other qualities which was great to see in person.
North Marion’s Logan Gump Logan Gump 6’2″ | 260 lbs | OL North Marion | 2026 State WV will only continue to get better the older he gets and is already thought highly of by PRZ WV with a Top 10 OL ranking in the 2026 class. Gump looked much bigger in person that he did on film which was an area he needed further progression in. He has a thick and strong build that may be tailormade as a future guard prospect compared to tackle where he played last season. Footwork for his age and size is quality and will only continue to get better over the next two years.
Gump is a young prospect that’s very moldable and can be developed into a very good OL prospect by the time he’s a senior with a strong foundation already built.
