2026 Breakout Prospects: Offense

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Deep dive into the 2026 offensive prospects who have the potential to skyrocket up rankings and recruiting boards going into their junior year.</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Segall's got the size of a TE with the athleticism and movement skills of a wide out. At 6'3” 205 lbs. he's got good variety in his route tree. Can track and adjust to the deep ball and attack the short and intermediate levels with timing routes and screen plays. Good all-around game speed, he can accelerate after the catch and run away from defenders in the open field. He's a solid route runner that can beat defenders with his speed or fight through contact on his release. A natural pass catcher that shows good concentration and strong hands in traffic with defenders closing in. Good upside in his frame and is expected to see a bump in recruitment as he gets more game experience. Transferred to Liberty out of Saguaro.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/KamdenSegall/status/1772321090926235909 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Smith missed the majority of his sophomore season due to a broken foot in preseason camp but is expected to skyrocket up recruiting boards as he gains experience and exposure. At 6'5” 280 lbs. with a 78 inch wingspan and good weight distribution he checks all the boxes for the major D1 level. Plays with good leverage and pad level coming out of his stance and at the contact point. Strong and powerful at the POA, he's got heavy hands and accelerates his feet on contact to drive opponents off the ball. Good balance and body control, keeps his feet underneath his body and engages with a wide base. He's a dual sport athlete (football/wrestling) that picked up his initial offer from Kansas State after a strong showing at their camp. Will continue to be near the top of 2026 lineman in the state going forward.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/TuckerSmith77/status/1786246512470839420 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Swope is another guy that is near the top of 2026 offensive line prospects in the state. He's a versatile interior lineman that can play both Guard and Center effectively. A really good athlete and natural bender at his size of 6'3” 285 lbs. showing he can run and get out in front of perimeter screen plays. Great motor and controlled aggression as a run blocker with the strength to finish opponents to the ground. He's got good lateral agility and constantly moves his feet to match movement in pass protection. Body control allows him to adjust his angles and keep his positional leverage blocking at the second level and in space. No offers yet but he's a major D1 prospect that will pick up P4 attention before long.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Swope54Noah/status/1727405705114812881 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Violent OT that is a heavy striker and finishes his blocks through contact. At 6'5” 260 lbs. he's got long arms and a well-balanced athletic frame. Showed great toughness for young a guy playing most of his sophomore season with a broken hand and still performed well. Excels in pass protection using his initial quickness to come off the ball and get into his pass set. Takes advantage of his length and foot speed to kick and slide cutting off edge defenders. Flashes the athleticism and lateral movement to recover and shift his hips based on defenders moves. Can improve his leverage/pad level as a run blocker but has a great skillset to build on and expected to be highly recruited as he develops and progresses through the recruiting cycle.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/speer_blake/status/1728989328867782946 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Outstanding physical skillset and athleticism. 6'3” almost 200 lbs. he's got a very recruitable frame and the natural playmaking ability to match. Possesses downfield/long speed to stretch the defense and be a vertical threat with the leaping ability to go up and compete for the ball at the high point. Gets clean releases off the line using his hands and lateral quickness to avoid contact and then stack defenders. Fluid with his movement he shows he can drop his hip level to smoothly get in and out of his breaks. Speed and size make him a tough tackle after the catch. He's got an accelerated burst and good instincts to know where defenders are and get to space. Picked up his first offer from Bowling Green and is a high ceiling prospect with tons of raw potential/ability.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JaydonWiseman_8/status/1789140157251383317 </div></figure>
