<p>We are breaking down our latest Virginia Class of 2026 rankings for the next several weeks. Yesterday we revealed the top ten offensive lineman, listed below are 11th-15th ranked stars. If you look at each position group for this class its hard to argue what group is deeper than the linemen. 11 kids ranked in the top 100 and 17 in the top 200, with each one having major FBS potential. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1297677' first='Cameron' last='Stanard'] is one of the best pass blocking lineman I have watched on tape. Playing center for Bishop Ireton, Stanard is quick off the ball and sets his base quickly rarely allowing pressures. Even blitzers coming right up the middle rarely get past him, he is a dominant force right off the snap. Athletic in the run game, he can fly off the ball downfield and is a center you can march your offense right behind him down the field. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Earning first team ALL WCAC offensive line last season, he is poised for another jump in his recruitment this summer. Holding one offer so far from Hampton-Sydney College, Stanard deserves more opportunities and his play on the field has already shown that. Playing for Saint Michaels The Archangel this fall will also give him chances to go up against some of the best defensive linemen in the state. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Hanover's bookend tackle [player_tooltip player_id='1205826' first='Brayson' last='Bristow'] is set for a climb this fall up our rankings. He is 6'5 and 285 lbs. very stout in both his run and pass blocking, Bristow is set for some offers this summer. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 13th ranked prospect technique is impressive and I could see him transitioning into a dominant guard at the FBS level. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The 2nd team all district selection as a sophomore Colonial Forge [player_tooltip player_id='1297710' first='Matthew' last='Paternostro'] should not be slept on. Playing both guard and center for the Eagles he is a force in the run game. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In a very tough conference Paternostro more than held his own as a sophomore, expect his leap to continue this summer. He is very aggressive from the point of attack and will but defensive lineman down on the turf fast if they are not careful. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Eastern View's [player_tooltip player_id='1297731' first='Jaedon' last='Lewis'] can play guard or tackle and his upside for both spots is skyrocketing this off-season. Coming in ranked 15th for his position group and 133rd overall he is due for some interest in FCS schools or higher this summer. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>When he fires off the ball low with his base set you can see the talent as he is driving the defenders face first into the turf. Standing at 6'4 and 260 lbs. Lewis is not done growing and he has yet to reach his potential, when he does watch out.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A student of the game Gate City's [player_tooltip player_id='1297692' first='Nicholas' last='Youmans'] is good and one of the smartest players on the field. He is fun to watch play both on offense and defense, very technically savy player who is only getting better each year.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Standout in basketball and in the classroom (3.8 GPA) Youmans will be playing FBS football in two years. He is another one with the contact period open for 2026 recruits whose name should be mentioned a lot.</p>
