#TN2025 Breakthrough Offensive Linemen

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Diving back in the film room with the offensive line, here we provide ten prospects that have taken their games to another level with a few becoming legit D1/FCS talents and some that will see a significant boost in #PRZTN ranking. </h2>     #TN2025 O-line Rankings    Going into the 2024 season, Larkin was already a top ten in-state offensive lineman but he has pushed his game further with a strong senior year to where he will see a rise within our next updated rankings. The Raptors big man has packed on the needed weight to compete at a high level in college while also maintaining his lower base power and mobility. Larkin is a big dude that shows on film the ability to potentially play tackle in college but definitely slide inside and eventually become a starting guard down the road. He is currently committed to MTSU and that's where he may stay but I wouldn't be surprised if Power Four schools get involved and make a play for this Williamson County native.    - - - - -    The Rebels O-line has several college quality big men inside their unit with Boyd being one of the best. Committing to Air Force early in the process, the Rebels O-lineman has put forth a stellar senior year, displaying excellent athleticism and explosive blocking along with upside to remain at tackle. Boyd is one of the better athletes we have on the O-line for our senior class that could develop at multiple positions in college across the offensive front. Where he has improved the most this Fall is with his run blocking. He was already an explosive blocker but the added power allows this guy to become a more forceful run mauler. Boyd shows more power this season along with the ability to sustain blocks further. I really like the upside here with this East TN big man and what he can become once he gets inside a college locker room.    - - - - -    The Bruins are having another solid football year with their offensive line being a big reason why. Roston is a key player up front that has paved the road for the team's run game while also showing good development within his pass protection. Expect to see Roston take a nice jump inside our next updated rankings as he has shown proper development in several areas that now puts him on the radar for Power Four schools. I don't know if he will make it there out of high school but Roston has P4 potential due his athleticism and size but also because of his ability to handle multiple roles up front. This is a technique based prospect that does just about everything right. His value may sit best on the interior but his senior film shows good work at tackle. Kennesaw St. recently offered but expect several others to get involved before we reach signing day.    - - - - -    Committing to Ball St. this summer, Spicer might have to keep his DM's open because his senior film shows a guy that has vastly improved to where Power Four schools might soon take an interest. Reason for that statement is due to his senior clips where Spicer shows excellent footwork, an athletic lower base as well as improved strength that shows up within his run blocking. He still needs to continue adding more weight but he seems to have added enough this senior season to make a difference with his physicality. Spicer's added strength allows him to not only remain outside at tackle but also move inside if needed while becoming more formidable with his run blocking. Upside is strong with this Mid-TN product as I believe the Cardinals are getting a steal with is #PRZTN Rankings Riser.    - - - - -    Watching a good bit of offensive line tape this Fall, Coffman is one of our most improved coming out of the #TN2025 class and someone that I feel is just tapping into his potential. The Pats senior big man had to miss his Jr season due to injury, so his recruitment was slow but Coffman has been a man on a mission this season to prove his worth and he's done a great job thus far. This is a mauler at heart that shows excellent athletic skills on film that could work at tackle. Coffman recently committed to Chattanooga where he will have a shot at remaining outside but could definitely become a feared run blocker in time at guard if needed. Look for Coffman to make a good rise in our updated rankings with the possibility of some bigger schools taking an interest before he signs official paperwork.    - - - - -    Making the move over to Anderson Co. has proved to be the right decision for Dorton as he has taken his game to another level and placed himself as a potential D1 target through the late process of recruiting. His work this Fall has been excellent where he has developed his agility further while increasing his strength and showing that he could handle the tackle position in college. Dorton is a big boy that looks the part of a college guy. He is filling out his frame nicely and I think he can continue to develop his frame once he gets into a college weight system. The possibility is there for Dorton to become a starting right tackle but at worst, the Mavs senior would become an excellent option inside at guard. Furman is getting a good one here and a lineman that could become a multi year starter one day.    - - - - -    Out of all the linemen listed here, Johnson may be the most improved and a definite stock riser in our next updated rankings that bigger schools need to start looking into. From an athletic, mobility point of view, Johnson is one of the best in our senior class with those two traits. His senior film shows an athletic blocker with excellent footwork and lateral quickness along with improved strength that shows up with his run blocking. Johnson is a tenacious competitor that brings grit and toughness to the trenches along with versatility. I could see this Mid-TN product playing tackle, guard or possible center on the next level. He still needs to gain a little more weight while forming his frame but the raw tools are certainly there. Really like what I'm seeing from Johnson right now and the upside he brings to the college game.    - - - - -    Williams will be one of the biggest risers from the O-line position inside our next updated rankings and that's due to what I see from his senior film and his potential to become a nice run blocking guard on the collegiate gridiron. The Red Devils senior lineman handles left tackle for his offense but his best work and biggest upside resides on the interior. Williams is a massive human being with wide shoulders, long arms and a powerful lower base. Those physical traits scream run blocking guard and his film shows that. His look and physical game play looks the part of a college guy but to reach his maximum potential, Williams must continue forming his body while increasing his agility. I could see some FCS schools getting in on this guy over the next two months due to his potential to become an excellent run blocker in college.    - - - - -    One of the biggest risers within our next updated senior rankings will be this Chattanooga area O-lineman that has taken a big step with his progression and developed enough to become a FCS level prospect. Gilbert's senior clips show nice footwork where he gets to the 2nd level well along with high football intelligence where he picks up the blitz on a consistent basis. He is a violent competitor too, which is a good trait to have in the trenches. The Canes senior big man handles the center position but has the girth/size to play guard as well. The way he has performed this Fall shows me he could develop nicely on the college level as a potential starting center or guard on the FCS stage. Maybe one day Gilbert can go higher but right now, he has definitely positioned himself as a legit college prospect.    - - - - -    New to the state of Tennessee, Lehal has made a good impression so far through his senior year and placed himself as a Top 20 offensive guard prospect that could work his way into the FCS ranks. The first thing you like about the Canadian native is body mass and overall size. Lehal looks the part of a college guy. The size is backed up by natural power that shows in his run blocking. Once he gets his hands locked in, Lehal can drive his man back with ease. This is a powerful dude that holds his ground well. There is upside too with his pass blocking but that's something he needs to continue developing over time. If college coaches are wanting a mauler in the middle that can hold up against bigger defensive linemen, Lehal could be your guy!    - - - - - Five Other Improved O-linemen   (G/C) [player_tooltip player_id='219352' first='Bryson' last='Daugherty'] - Lenoir City   (G/C) [player_tooltip player_id='834619' first='Wyatt' last='Bakker'] - Father Ryan   (OG) [player_tooltip player_id='1277472' first='Matthew' last='Worsham'] - Briarcrest Chrst.
