We're through the first three weeks of the high school football season in West Virginia and prospects are beginning to post their First 3 games highlight videos that colleges will be searching for and evaluating for who moves up, down, and added to their recruiting board. Here are the offensive linemen who have been performing strongly through the first three weeks of the season and should be seeing an uptick in their college interest.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">TRENDING UP</h2>    2025 Philip Barbour OL [player_tooltip player_id='864851' first='John' last='McGee'] continues to progress since we first saw him before his junior year and is coming into his own as a senior for the Colts. He's accumulated plenty of D2 opportunities to date and is now working for some possible D1 attention with a strong senior year.   McGee has done a nice job growing into his big 6'5 frame which has taken his game to the next level. Even being a large athlete, McGee has quality athleticism for his size and moves well for his size. He's sustaining and finishing blocks well this season and is playing with more of an edge.      2025 Martinsburg OL [player_tooltip player_id='908152' first='Peyton' last='Kaufman'] may be a bit lighter this season, he's still playing at a high level for the Bulldogs. Long snapper or defensive end may be where his future is at the next level with the perfect size and athleticism for the positions, but his play at offensive tackle this season needs to be mentioned.   Kaufman moved from center to left tackle this season and that feels like a natural position for him and a spot where he can thrive. He moves differently than most offensive linemen and can get to his spots quickly which spells trouble for opposing defensive linemen. Even with being a lighter OL, Kaufman's physicality hasn't suffered and he's still playing with a nasty streak and finishing blocks at a high level. Regardless of the position he ultimately ends up at in the future, Kaufman has all of the natural tools to execute it at a high level and develop into a very good college player.      There probably hasn't been another offensive lineman in the state who has seen his stock rise as much as 2025 Shady Spring OL [player_tooltip player_id='952856' first='Colton' last='Henderson']'s has and that's continuing into his senior year. He's done a great job of developing his body and his play on the field over the years and is playing the best ball of his high school career this season.   Henderson has the size and athleticism to become a very good future college player if he continues this level of development. He looks stronger and more powerful this season for the Tigers and is moving defenders at a high level.      Another 2025 offensive lineman who has steadily improved through the years is Capital's [player_tooltip player_id='863520' first='Tucker' last='Van Meter']. He should earn more college opportunities this season and is deserving of more offers in his senior year.   Van Meter has good size with more room to grow into his frame. He's a good athlete for a big man and can pull from his left tackle spot. Van Meter has good feet and quickness and pairs those traits with powerful hands and the ability to sustain and finish blocks. He's blowing defenders off the ball and getting great push through the first three weeks in a stock rising season for him.      We recently touched on the season that 2025 Hurricane OL/DL [player_tooltip player_id='908621' first='Ethan' last='Chill'] is having and he's worth another mention in our First Three Weeks OL Stock Risers article. He's making a great case this season to flip to OL in our rankings where he's likely to see a significant jump from his current ranking. Chill will have options for which sport he plays at the next level but we're confident that he could play at a high level as an offensive lineman if he chooses to play football.   Here's what we recently said about Chill in our <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/09/week-two-big-men-of-the-week/">Week Two Big Men of the Week article</a>:   "2025 Hurricane OL/DL [player_tooltip player_id='908621' first='Ethan' last='Chill']<a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/ethan-chill/"></a> had a strong night in a big win over Spring Valley in week two. Ranked as a defensive lineman, Chill looked the part at offensive tackle in the game and is a talented two-way lineman for the Redskins. He's a stout athlete with a guard body type but has tackle athleticism, which is a great combination for an offensive lineman. Chill may move to OL in our final 2025 rankings update after the season depending on what he puts on film this season and has a high ceiling on that side of the ball. He's also a D1 throwing prospect for track & field and an all-around very good jumbo athlete."      We've been anxious to see a bigger sample size of 2025 Wheeling Park OL [player_tooltip player_id='958274' first='Hunter' last='Means'] during his senior season after his impressive performance at the PRZ WV Combine earlier this year. He's answered the call and is putting some good things on film that should have colleges following closely this year.   The heavyweight wrestler is looking the part on the football field as a mauling pulling guard for the Patriots. He's helped pave the way for an impressive rushing attack that saw teammate [player_tooltip player_id='1137687' first='Brennan' last='Wack'] break the single-game school rushing yards record last week against Musselman. Means is playing himself into receiving some potential D2 offers for football this season if he opts to not wrestle in college.      [player_tooltip player_id='894970' first='Hogan' last='Greathouse'] is having an impressive start to his junior season for Roane County and is a 2026 OL that colleges need to follow. He's made obvious improvements since his sophomore year and looks stronger and more athletic as a year older.   Here's what we recently said about Greathouse in our <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/09/week-two-big-men-of-the-week/">Week Two Big Men of the Week article</a>:   "2026 Roane County OL [player_tooltip player_id='894970' first='Hogan' last='Greathouse']<a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/hogan-greathouse/"></a> has had a strong start to his senior season and has had 5 pancake blocks in back-to-back games. The Beavers want to set the tone on offense with their power rushing attack and Greathouse and Co. have done a great job of that thus far in two games. Greathouse is up 20 pounds to 6'0 260 since the last measurements we had for him and that's translating to more success on film since his sophomore year. He was playing some bully ball against Lincoln County in week two opening up some big holes on the right side of the line which has led to two very impressive rushing totals through the first two weeks of the season."      2027 Morgantown offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='1111466' first='Konnor' last='Mott'] is already highly thought of by PRZ WV, but he's proving why we bet on him to be one of the top big men in this class. The 6'4 300 sophomore has stepped right in as a starting tackle for the Mohigans which we expected of him and is playing like a veteran.   Mott has played both tackle spots showing versatility and is mauling defenders at a high level for a young lineman. He certainly doesn't look like a sophomore out there from a physical standpoint and his play also matches that description. Mott's power and strength at this stage of his career are rare in WV and he's shown enough athleticism that leads you to believe he's capable of some big things in the future as a prospect.     <h2 class="wp-block-heading text-gray-700">UNRANKED MAKING NOISE</h2>    2025 Ripley OL [player_tooltip player_id='1293983' first='Timothy' last='Hall'] has been an impressive unranked offensive lineman through the first three weeks of the season. The Vikings' running game has greatly benefitted from his play at left tackle and he's put some great things on film so far that may have him highly thought of in the final rankings update after the season.   Here's what we recently said about Hall in our <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/09/week-two-big-men-of-the-week/">Week Two Big Men of the Week article</a>:   "The Ripley Vikings got a PRZ WV Class AAA Offensive Player of the Week pick in RB [player_tooltip player_id='1014121' first='Noah' last='Casto']<a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/noah-casto/"></a> for his monster performance against Ravenswood in week two but that couldn't have been accomplished without the efforts of 2025 OL [player_tooltip player_id='1293983' first='Timothy' last='Hall']<a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/timothy-hall/"></a> and the rest of the Ripley offensive line. Hall is an under-the-radar prospect right now but could see his stock rise during his senior season with a good start to the year. The 6'3 255 big man was impressive on film at left tackle and looks much improved from his junior tape. Hall overpowered an outmatched Ravenswood defense and showcased an edge and willingness to sustain and finish blocks resulting in numerous pancakes. He also showed he can block down to the second level of the defense and get a hat on a linebacker as well for a complete week two performance that has him firmly on our radar now."      Another Shady Spring big man who is having a stock-rising season is 2025 OL [player_tooltip player_id='1126457' first='Jon' last='Cantley']. He's continuing the momentum he built during the summer at various camps including our own PRZ WV Combine which saw him earn his first D2 offer from Concord back in July.   Cantley may not have the prototypical size as some of the other offensive linemen on this list, but he's making up for it with his play on the field. He has the frame to continue filling out over time once he's in a college system and could be an under-the-radar gem. Even as a shorter tackle, Cantley has looked good in pass pro with a strong base and quality feet to stymie pass rushers. He's also a strong run blocker with a powerful upper body and can pull from his right tackle spot.      Spring Valley continues to produce quality offensive linemen and 2026 OL [player_tooltip player_id='1138231' first='Maddox' last='Barron'] may be the next in line. The Timberwolves have several notable junior big men that are already highly ranked but we're getting a bigger sample size of Barron this season and he's looking like he'll join them after the season in the winter update.   Barron is a big young lineman with room to keep growing and maximizing his frame. He's seen time at both left and right tackle this season and has shown signs of developing into a very good prospect in time. Barron has quality footwork that can continue to improve against quick defensive ends and edge rushers which will come with more experience. He's a people mover who can overwhelm defenders with his size and will get better each week.      2026 Braxton County OL [player_tooltip player_id='1467767' first='Joel' last='Sigman'] is the first Eagle we've gotten to see film on and he's a very under-the-radar big man to know. Sigman was a pleasant surprise when he posted his highlights on X and immediately caught our attention when evaluating his film.   Sigman is a big athlete in the 6'2 290 range who plays tackle for the Eagles but is likely a future guard at the next level with center experience as well. He's a highly physical player who plays with an edge and a nasty streak that was fun to watch. Sigman has violent hands and locks onto defenders when he gets his hands on them. He's a bully on the field and has the power and strength to control his man consistently.   <a href="https://x.com/JoelSigman73/status/1835520971207229929">Film Link</a>     2026 OL [player_tooltip player_id='1129130' first='Jayden' last='Hill'] has stepped up for the Nitro Wildcats this season and has looked good on film through the first three weeks of the season. Hill is a gritty player who may not have elite size but battles on the field and plays above his weight class.   Hill is a strong athlete who can neutralize bigger defensive linemen whose size often benefits him in that regard with the ability to out-leverage and get under them. He's also a pulling guard that you don't want to meet in the hole and packs a punch at the point of contact.      Westside has a big left tackle that colleges need to know who has posted film for the first time this season and looks the part. He's a legit 6'4 300 and a candidate to move inside to guard at the next level with his frame and skill set. When Short is firing off the ball he can move defenders at a high level which further suggests a move to guard in college could produce great results for a program.   Short does a nice job taking defenders to where they want to go without holding when they do get a step on him. He's tough to get around and if he gets his shoulders squared and keeps his feet in front of his man it's game over.
