Breaking Down All the Ranked 2027 Offensive Linemen

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we continue in our series on the 2027 class, we've come to the hardest position group to evaluate at such a young age. It's difficult to project future growth and strength gains, so we're mostly focused on technique at attitude at this age. Still, there are a few guys at the top who already have the size and speed to be top offensive linemen. We break down the five guys already ranked here.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Which 2027 Offensive Linemen are Ranked?</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='946623' first='Nori' last='White'], 6'6 320, Independence</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We start with a mauler up front and a guy who will clearly be a highly-coveted recruit in the 2027 class. White is raw and doesn't have a ton of film, but he carries his weight extremely well for a guy so big and oozes athleticism. While he hasn't yet played varsity, he's a basketball player and already holds two Group of Five offers. He's at the top of the list of guys I'm eager to see this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='415457' first='Bryce' last='Johnson'], 6'3 295, Weddington</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson played extensively for the state champion Warriors as a freshman and will start at left guard this season. He's a powerful run blocker with excellent leg drive who already looks like a guy who could play at the next level. The positional versatility is intriguing and he looks like a guy who could start at any of the three interior positions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1106331' first='Trey' last='Headen'], 6' 260, Southeast Alamance</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Headen made a bigger impact on defense as a run-stuffing nose tackle last season, but his biggest upside is on offense. He's likely an interior guy who can create push in the running game. He's raw and will need some more experience before I'm ready to make a true evaluation, but the tools are there to be one of the top 2027 offensive linemen in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1133947' first='Brett' last='Wagner'], 6'2 290, New Bern</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wagner can play inside or outside and his versatility is something that will serve him well in the future. He'll look to improve his balance and frame as a pass blocker, but he's a nasty run blocker with plenty of power. He has the strength to blow people off the line and as he continues to learn the nuances of the position, he's a guy to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1134073' first='Jaud' last='Goosby'], 6'2 230, Southeast Alamance</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Goosby will need to add some weight, but he maintains excellent leverage and pad level as a pass blocker. Like many 2027 offensive linemen, it's tough to project what he looks like in two years, but the frame is there. He plays guard and tackle and is strong as a pass blocker and puller.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other 2027 Offensive Linemen On Our Radar</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1220047' first='Dalton' last='East'], 6'5 290, West Stokes</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1133950' first='Cash' last='Freeman'], 6'3 285, Christ School</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1198259' first='Omari' last='Graham'], 6'2 250, West Stokes</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1137826' first='Andrew' last='Jaynes'], 5'10 250, Millbrook</h3> <!-- /wp:heading -->
