With that being said, it is time for another round of rankings updates. Our fourth rankings update for the class of 2025 in the state of Kentucky has been officially posted with tons of movement and several new additions. I will be taking the next week or so to break these rankings down by position. With the offensive skill players already being covered, here are our top offensive linemen in the class of 2025 in the state of Kentucky!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["373082"],"_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-668d92343819f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='373082' first='Isaac' last='Sowells Jr.'] has continued to establish himself as one of the top overall players in the state in his class. Sowells lined up at right tackle as a junior but has also spent some time at center. He is a very dominant run blocker, exploding out of his stance and driving his man down the field with ease. Isaac finishes his blocks with a ton of physicality, resulting in frequent pancake blocks. He is also very reliable in pass protection, showing the footwork to mirror opposing pass rushers off the edge and strong base to not allow penetration into the pocket. Sowells holds a long list of Division I/Power 4 offers and recently narrowed his top five down to Kentucky, North Carolina State, Miami (FL), Louisville, and South Carolina. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["373822"],"_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-668d923438209"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='373822' first='Dylan' last='Stewart'] is an offensive lineman who has been high on our radar for a while now and continued to stand out as a junior. Stewart lines up at left tackle where he is very impressive as a run blocker. He is a true mauler, exploding out of his man and driving his man several yards down the field. Dylan also does a good job of getting to the second level quickly to pick up blocks in the open field. He is also a solid pass protector, showing the ability to mirror opposing pass rushers off the edge with ease. Stewart currently holds 14 Division I offers and I expect more to come his way as he is a very talented offensive line prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["735747"],"_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-668d92343826b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='735747' first='Gradey' last='Anthony'] is another left tackle prospect who continued to impress as a junior. Anthony is at his best as a run blocker where he does a great job of creating movement off the line of scrimmage. He has also shown the ability to pull from the tackle spot and pick up blocks in the open field. Anthony is also reliable in pass protection, showing the ability to get into his pass sets quickly to mirror opposing pass rushers. Gradey is committed to Louisville where I can see him developing into a key piece of their offensive line once he gets there. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["735990"],"_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-668d9234382cc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='735990' first='Ben' last='Stotts'] is a player who has been high on our radar for a while now and continued to impress this past season. Stotts lines up at guard where he is very reliable as a run blocker. He is dominant at the point of attack, exploding out of his stance and driving his feet through contact to drive his man down the field. Stotts has also shown the ability to get to the second level in a hurry to pick up blocks in the open field. He is also reliable in pass protection, showing the ability to keep a strong base and not allow for much penetration into the pocket. Ben is committed to Austin Peay where I can see him being an early contributor on their offensive line once he gets there. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["727126"],"_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-668d923438338"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">To wrap up our top five offensive linemen in the class of 2025 in the state of Kentucky, I have [player_tooltip player_id='727126' first='Hayes' last='Preston']. Hayes lines up at left tackle where he is very impressive in pass protection. He has quick footwork in his pass sets and has shown the ability to mirror pass rushers with ease off the edge. Preston also keeps a strong base and doesn't allow much penetration into the pocket. He has also proven to be reliable as a run blocker, showing the ability to drive his man down the field and finish his blocks through the whistle. Hayes is committed to Air Force where I can see him developing into a key piece of their offensive line once he gets there.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other Players Included in Top 200:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>6.
