'25 Rankings: Offensive Linemen with Something to Prove

The offensive linemen included in this article are all huge breakout candidates. For the most part, these linemen have had great offseasons, and seem to be perfectly set up for a breakout senior season. With a breakout season, they could prove to colleges they're worth an offer. So, here are five offensive linemen with something big to prove this Fall!    Bryson is a phenomenal offensive lineman for Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard. Watching his tape, It's apparent that Bryson is one of the best offensive linemen in his conference. Plus, if he were taller, he'd probably have quite a few offers. More on his tape, I like his overall tenacity and effort. His footwork can be pretty inconsistent, but he makes up for it with his agility, good effort, and physicality.     Perrion is another undersized yet fundamentally great offensive lineman. At the center position, Perrion's performed well in a wide variety of play types and situations. When pass blocking, Perrion does a good job of keeping anchored and balanced, even when picking up a blitz. Further, Perrion is a solid run blocker that can open up a hole for your running back. All in all, I like Perrion's tape, but he lacks that aggression and agility I like to see with elite offensive lineman. Still, a great high school player, he's had a tremendous offseason, and is being recruited as a D3 prospect.     Maxwell has earned several MIAA offers over the past few months. That said, I am confident that he's improved significantly over the course of this offseason. Diving into last season's tape, Maxwell seemed to have served as a great run-blocking guard. Throughout his tape, Maxwell is seen consistently executing his blocks, and opening up holes for his running back. I'll be honest- I think he could significantly improve his agility and tenacity heading into next season. Last season's tape showed a great foundation, and I'm confident he's improved this season. Moving forward, I'll be keeping an eye on Maxwell's weekly highlights to look for signs of improvement.     On film, Nathaniel looks like a rock-solid Center. Time and time again, Nathaniel can be seen imposing his will on opposing defensive linemen. Especially against weaker competition, Nathaniel can dominate the interior. I like his initial pop, and his ability to block + drive through the whistle. As a run blocker, Nathaniel is phenomenal. That said, his height, highlight variety, and fundamental issues weigh him down. In addition, I'm not sure how many prospect camps he's attended, or if he even wants to play college ball. Whichever the case, Nathaniel is a great high school Center who I think could earn offers if he pursues them.     Earning All-Region honors last season, Nick will look to earn another All-Region nod this season. Over the past few months, it seems that Nick's been to a few camps. As a result, he has one offer from Lawrence Tech. Diving into Nick's tape, it's obvious that he's a force to be reckoned with. The aspect that impresses me the most is his tenacity. Play after play, Nick is seen blocking through the whistle. Whether it's pulling, blocking at the second level, or a basic down block, Nick seems to give it his all each and every down. That said, Nick looks decently agile on his pulls, and his footwork doesn't look half bad. As for pass sets, I have no idea how he fares. Moving forward, I'm confident Nick will continue performing at a high level, and he should earn more college attention with another All-Region season.
