#TN2025 Rankings Breakdown: Offensive Line

<!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The deepest offensive position group from our senior class is the O-line. The Top 25 prospects alone are destined for the P4, D1 or FCS ranks with several others behind them, right on the cusp of breaking through. </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>The Top Ten</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["219412"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66635ec1722e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Without question, Gooden is “the” top offensive line prospect from our senior class and one of the best overall players in the state. A road grader who loves putting defenders on the ground, Gooden is a athletic and powerful offensive guard that plays a mature but aggressive play style that translates very well to the Power Four level. The athleticism and power are definitely there but it's the technique that Gooden plays with that impresses me the most. He has a mature game about himself that I really like that goes along with his physical prowess to make Gooden a possible college starter early on in his career. This is a big boy too that will have to watch his weight moving forward but if he can do that, the National Football League might be in his future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- - - - - </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["219445"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66635ec172335"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Recently taking himself off the market by committing to Georgia Tech, Bryson is a rock solid performer that plays a consistent, physical brand of football that could be utilized at multiple positions across the offensive front. The Red Raiders senior mauler has a versatile skill set that allows him to excel at tackle, guard or center. I believe his future with the Ramblin Wreck sits on the interior where Bryson can use his intelligence, brute power and athleticism to dominate opposing D-linemen and potentially turn into an All-ACC performer. Baylor will have a top level O-line this Fall with multiple college guys but Bryson is the linchpin, the leader up front, who will be a key factor behind the Red Raiders march towards a D2-Class AAA title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- - - - - </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["258663"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66635ec172377"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Adair is the top center prospect from our #TN2025 O-line class that committed to Virginia early on in the process and has been focused on his development ever since. The Mustangs senior big man has nice size at 6'5 275 pounds along with the athleticism to compete against big nose tackles and stunting D-linemen on the next level while having the versatility to play guard or right tackle if needed. The best thing I like about Adair is his balance and lower base strength. He anchors really well then uses his hands to stall D-linemen. He is also a good athlete that could get out on traps and pave the way for his backs. More weight and mass to his upper body will be needed but the canvas and frame is there to grow into an eventual ACC starting center.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- - - - - </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["616543"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66635ec1723b5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This Smoky Mountain native has some of the best speed to power combo in the state along with the athleticism to handle all three interior O-line positions. Van Rensburg is an explosive blocker that gets out of his stance fast and plows his way into opponents chests to drive them off the ball. The speed to power combo is some of the best you will find on the offensive line in this class. He has excellent lower base agility with both his hips and his quick feet. The Smoky Bears senior mauler is an athletic guy that could play some tackle if called upon but he is a true interior guy that might see his best upside reside at center. College coaches are starting to recognize the talents as Van Rensburg added a D1 offer recently from Western Ky and they won't be the last.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- - - - - </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["250865"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66635ec1723f2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This is the best prospect to come out of the Antioch program in several years and Whitset is still far from a finished product, which makes his upside exceptional. Standing about 6'5 275 pounds, Whitset is a long and athletic offensive tackle that has the makeup and traits to become a potential blind side blocker on the collegiate level. He shows the footwork and agile lower base to get the job done but to become the kind of player he needs to be, Whitset must continue hitting the weight room to pack on more weight. That weight addition will come during his time at Purdue, where Whitset pledged his services to a few weeks ago and it's a good fit where I think the Bears senior offensive tackle can develop nicely and eventually become a starter along the Boilermakers offensive line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- - - - -</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["841185"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66635ec172430"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A brute mauler that loves and embraces the physical part of football, Ray, Jr is a true offensive guard that enjoys getting his hands on opponents and punishing till the final whistle. The Owls senior big man is a load up front that does a good job of getting his powerful hands on opponents and keeping them in check or driving them into the ground. He is also a deceptive athlete that shows the lateral quickness to pick up the rush or slow down stunts. Ray, Jr is a consistent, steady performer that has college starting guard written all over him, it's just a matter of where that will be. D1 schools are interested and I think several programs will get involved over the coming months to push his stock forward as one of the top offensive guards prospects in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- - - - - </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["219438"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66635ec17246d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Over the past two years, Larkin has been one of the top workers in this state when it comes to development, which has now positioned himself as a Top Ten ranked O-lineman for the #TN2025 class. The Raptors big man has done a good job at increasing his athleticism and lower base agility along with continuing to add in more strength and weight to make him a legit D1, potential Power Four prospect. Looking over his film and projections to the next level, Larkin probably fits best inside at guard but his size and improved athleticism may allow him to play right tackle in college. Larkin is a strong dude with a wide frame that takes up space but also moves well, showing the feet to handle the rush. His continued development this Fall will go a long way towards helping his cause in becoming a potential Power Four signee.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- - - - - </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["466284"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66635ec1724a9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coming in ranked 8th among our #TN2025 offensive linemen, Mowl is a massive young man that takes up a lot of space up front with the ability to play guard or tackle on the collegiate gridiron. Standing 6 '8 300 plus pounds, Mowl immediately looks the part stepping off the bus but he backs it up with excellent physicality. Once the Pats big man gets his hands on you, the game is over as he usually drives his man back far off the line and places him in the ground. If Mowl wants to play on the outside at tackle, his lower body agility and explosion must develop further but he could definitely step into a college O-line room next year and provide strong depth in the middle. It will be interesting to watch this guy's progression in the Fall to see where he has taken his game over the past year and has much improvement he has made.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- - - - - </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["466272"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66635ec1724e7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The third Mustangs big man to be ranked inside the Top Ten, Hacker may have some of the best upside of all O-linemen from the #TN2025 class as he sports the size and athletic skills to develop nicely in college at right tackle. This Nashville native has the look of a college guy as Hacker stands 6'7 270 pounds with a great frame to pack on more size along with great arm length. What stands out the most for me about this 6'7 big man is his athletic lower base as well as his hand work. Hacker does a good job of moving his feet and getting into position to take on the rush while showing patient hands. Everything points to Hacker being a true right tackle but if he can continue working on his explosion and quickness, maybe becoming a swing tackle could be in his future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- - - - - </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["466287"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66635ec172523"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Boyd rounds out the Top Ten but he could be a guy that moves higher in our next updated rankings as he brings some of the best explosion and violence to the field seen on film from our O-line senior class. The first thing you recognize and like about Boyd when turning on his film is his ability to get out of his stance quickly and fire into the defender. This is an athletic, explosive blocker that shows upside with his pulls and traps. The Rebels senior O-lineman is also versatile. He will play tackle for his Maryville team and could develop there in college but his upside may reside best inside at guard or center. Boyd is currently committed and I expect him to remain true to that decision but I could also see bigger schools get involved as this East TN big man is too talented to be looked past much further.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- - - - - </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>O-linemen Inside Top 150&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1157374' first='Sam' last='Spicer'] - Pope Prep </strong>(11th ranked OL/67th overall)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Tall and long with a nice frame to pack on more weight, Spicer is a talented big man that has the potential to play tackle on the collegiate level.
