Rundown Of The Deep 2026 OL Class: #11-#6

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In my opinion, the 2026 offensive lineman class is one of the deepest position groups in the state. The amount of big, nasty, talented guys we have in this 2026 class is incredible. In this article series, I'll be deep diving a few players at a time, and offering some insight on each prospect in order of how they are currently ranked. After hitting some camps the last few days, we're resuming this series with the 2nd half of our top 10 2026 offensive linemen! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>| #11 | [player_tooltip player_id='1148703' first='Brody' last='Rummier'] | 6'5 220 | Stoney Creek | </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brody is a strong and powerful athlete who also runs track and performs very highly. While I would definitely consider him an undersized offensive lineman, he definitely has some nice technique and ability. First, he's very mobile. He moves quickly, doesn't get off balance or get crossed up. He does still have very strong legs and upper body, and has powerful hands that keeps defenders at bay. I see he is putting a ton of work in to continue to evolve, and I look forward to checking in on his progress often! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>| #10 | [player_tooltip player_id='1148700' first='Jacob' last='Timmer'] | 6'6 265 | Grand Rapids West Catholic | </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Getting into the top 10, we have a very powerful and aggressive athlete out of West Catholic that is super fun to watch. In his sophomore season, he really impressed me with his run blocking. He's agile enough to get out into space and just bulldoze a path for his backs. Even after knocking one guy down, he continues to search for more, and brings the destruction. He has a powerful knee drive and does a great job of staying low and getting under the pads of his assignment. He will be a highly recruited kid soon I believe, and I am looking forward to seeing him over the coming seasons. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>| #9 | [player_tooltip player_id='1148699' first='Noah' last='Jimenez'] | 6'3 265 | Waterford Mott | </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Noah has continued to evolve and improve, and he has transformed himself into a really solid prospect. He's an all league kid who is very technical but brings the aggression too. When he pulls, he is very light on his feet and can clear a path quickly. He has a nice bucket step to get the outside shoulder of his defender and washes them down the line with incredible ease. His strong punch knocks guys off balance, and then he is able to take complete control from there. In passing situations, he is able to absorb the defenders initial shot, and then has plenty of ways to counter their moves. Noah is starting to come into his own and will again be one of the best offensive linemen in the area. Colleges better have his name circled! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>| #8 | [player_tooltip player_id='1148698' first='Ernesto' last='Botello'] | 6'3 290 | Muskegon | </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Botello has the size, strength and pedigree to be an elite OL prospect. He still has some developing to do, but so far he is doing a fantastic job and regularly showcases his ability. His powerful legs allow him to explode out of his stance, make a huge initial pop, and he has strong knee drive as he takes his defender completely out of the play. In a run heavy offense it is hard to get in season reps consistently at pass blocking, so that will definitely need to progress in order for him to be considered the man in this class, but he is well on his way to getting a lot of big time offers sent his way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>| #7 | [player_tooltip player_id='212357' first='Benjamin' last='Eziuka'] | 6'3 290 | Detroit Catholic Central | </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Benjamin is a big interior lineman who has the elite size to play at the next level, and also great agility to pull and move in space. He does a nice job of flying through the hole when he pulls and knocking the first opponent he can find to the ground with authority. In passing situations, he anchors down, absorbs the rush with ease, and is able to counter a lot of moves. He stays balanced, doesn't lunch too much, and doesn't give much space. He will be a highly sought after prospect that will have a ton of choices by time he has to choose. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>| #6 | [player_tooltip player_id='1080316' first='Owen' last='Winder'] | 6'7 290 | Dexter | </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Everyone I talk to says Owen is going to be high D1 ready real soon, and I am starting to believe it! His sophomore highlight reel is 10 minutes of teach tape. He makes run blocking look easy, as he explodes out of his stance, gets under his assignments pads and buries them without so much as a little fight back. He makes swift work of his defenders, with his strong lower half and his speed. He's incredibly aggressive and doesn't stop blocking until the job is done. His long and strong arms allow him to reach block and still deny pass rushers. His sets are good, he moves his feet very well and he knows how to take advantage of even the smallest stumble. Owen is getting some offers, but he going to be a very hot D1 prospect before you know it. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
