Uncommitted Stud Offensive Linemen to Know

Of the 24 D1 commits here in WI 7 of them are offensive linemen. This is a very talented group and despite the top 7 prospects off the board there is still a ton of talent to know about, and recruit. So we are going to shine the light on this next wave of offensive line talent that college coaches need to dig into. Let's dive in for ourselves!    For my money, the best remaining offensive lineman in WI is D.C. Everest starter [player_tooltip player_id='685855' first='Oscar' last='Latendresse']. He has a great frame at 6'3.5" 285 lbs, packed with strength in his upper body and agility in his lower body. College coaching staffs seam to agree too because the offer list is long for Oscar. He holds offers from St. Thomas, Minot State, Winona State, Northern State, Mankato, Augustana, Southwest Minnesota State, Sioux Falls, and Bemidji State.   I can't wait to see what Oscar looks like on the field this fall because the tape from last fall is already very impressive. The right tackle is well rounded at the position. He is able to create instant power on contact with heavy hands. Plus his leg drive in the run game creates so much movement in the trenches as he completely removes his DL from the play. The big man shows quick feet as he pulls across the formation or gets deep in a pass set. Latendresse also checks off the reactive athleticism box because of how well he is able to mirror pass rushers. Oscar has strong instincts for the position, and has a bright future ahead of him.     Xzavier has been an awesome player to watch. We watched as he turned into a 265 lbs OL from a previous 205 lbs athlete. Now he is up to 280 lbs, and the offers are starting to come in as he approaches his senior season. Grabher now has offers from Army, Southwest Minnesota State, Northern State, Mankato, Sioux Falls and Western Illinois. Get ready for a big year as he starts his 4th year as a varsity starter.   Even with all the rapid growth, Xzavier hasn't lost his agility and athleticism. He is able to maintain a wide base throughout the play and stay in a position of power thanks to his well developed body control. Grabher is able to reach block and get the angle on his target because of his range and quick feet. On top of the athleticism is the aggressive, finish the block mentality you need in the trenches. Xzavier has developed so much these past few years, and I expect to see another jump when he gets to the next level.     Dylan is an OT prospect that has been able to make impressive strides in his development over the past couple seasons. Between the growth on his 6'4" frame and the development of his game we have seen a lot of college programs gain interest in him. Over the past few months we have seen many extend offers. Mankato, Sioux Falls, Winona State, Northern State, and Southeast Missouri State have all come calling with offers.   In pass protection, Dylan does a great job using his frame and length to his advantage. He uses his long arms to land accurate strikes that stop or redirect his pass rusher. Dylan has solid agility and change of direction, but his length allows him time to recover if he does get a step behind. In the run game Dylan is a downhill mauler. He clamps those big hands on his man and drives them off the ball and is basically able to steer where he wants them to go. It is clear the big man has very strong hands when you watch through his highlights. I'm excited for his final season at Verona.     One of the top IOL prospects in the state is still available in Wateford's [player_tooltip player_id='526514' first='Robby' last='Kedrowicz']. There are several teams already lined up for his talents including offers from Mankato, Bemidji State, Winona State, Duluth, Sioux Falls, Augustana, and Northern State. On tape Robby has to get a lot of OL coaches at the next level excited.   The 280 lbs prospect does a great job of creating power on contact. He is quick out of his stance and right when that first strike of his hands land you see defenders react. Usually in them being quickly driven off the ball in the run game. Robby does a great job of getting hands inside and playing with good knee and ankle bend to get underneath his opponent in a position of power. The big, strong OG is also agile. Robby easily pulls across the formation and again creates power as soon as he hits his target and is able to stick on them through the play. This kid is a technically sound tone setter.     Will is an athlete we have been watching for a couple years now. He has made impressive strides over the past year, and it is paying off at camps this summer. Those strong showings have started resulting in offers for the 6'2" 275 lbs incoming senior. He currently has offers from Upper Iowa, Winona State, and Black Hills. All of which have come within the last week!   At RT in 2023 Will crushed opponents. Whether it was crashing his DL down the line of scrimmage away from the play or into the laps of LBs, Will was able to overpower his opponents very quickly. His power is a strong balance between a wide base, strong leg drive, and heavy hands. McCorison is constantly winning with leverage too. Every highlight he seems to be the low man and during those reps we see him win with ease. He will most likely slide inside at the next level where he can continue to maul defenders with his power.     Alex is picking up steam as a recruit recently. Especially for the Dakotas schools. His first offer came from Sioux Falls, and his most recent offer came from North Dakota, his first D1 offer. It is great to see that he is starting to get more of that attention he deserves.   Alex has a great frame at 6'5" 280 lbs with a 6'9" wingspan, and he uses that size advantage to maul his opponents in the run game. Alex looks like he would fit right into a power based run offense. He is at his best when he can attack out of his stance and drive his opponent off the line and out of the gap. Alex consistently plays with a wide base that gives him a great source of power, his hands are active and strong, and he has that bully mentality of trying to put every kid he faces on their backs. The tools are all coming together into an impressive package. I think we see a big jump from his this fall.
