#TN2025 Rankings Risers (Offensive Linemen)

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">One of the deepest position groups from our senior class, the offensive line saw several players increase their stocks with big seasons and boost their in-state ranking. See who those rankings risers are below! </h2>     <a href="https://prepredzone.com/tennessee/rankings/2025-rankings/">#TN2025 Senior Prospect Rankings</a>    The Rebels senior O-lineman was already in a good position ranking wise headed into the 2024 season but Boyd pushed his stock further with an exceptional senior year that displayed his athleticism and tenacious game play. Currently committed to Air Force, Boyd is one of the more athletic blockers we have in our senior class that has excellent bend, active feet and the ability to get into the second level with ease. He handles the tackle position for his Rebels team and could give snaps on the right side if needed but Boyd fits best inside at guard or center on the next level. This East TN talent has the body and size to pack on more weight and contend for a starting spot with the Falcons sooner than later. Boyd is a legit college O-lineman that I feel could play on the Power Four playing stage.    - - - - -    This Fall season, Roston was as consistent as any O-lineman from the Middle TN region and potentially the entire state. He was a key factor up front for the Bruins and a stalwart that not only boosted his PRZTN ranking but took his recruiting stock to bigger heights. What the Bruins big man brings to the field is good athleticism and position versatility but it's his high football IQ that I like the most. Roston is a technique sound blocker that moves feet well, picking up blitzes and stunts while also maintaining his balance. He does need to pack on more weight to eventually find a starting spot in college but the tools are certainly there to develop into a multi-year starter one day.    - - - - -    Coffman could be on the list for most improved offensive linemen out of our senior class and somebody I feel is vastly underrated when it comes to his potential to play D1 football. The Pats senior big man is currently committed to Chattanooga but I feel his talents warrant bigger looks. Reasons for that is due to Coffman's look and size along with his mobile lower base as well as his ability to play multiple positions. This is a big boy that moves well for his size while providing gritty, physical, tenacious game play to the trenches. I definitely think his best football days are ahead of him. Coffman is the kind of guy that could excel at Chattanooga and potentially play his way into a spot on the D1 level.    - - - - -    Coming over to Anderson Co. in the off-season proved to be the right move for Dorton as he not only got better as a prospect but he and his Mavs team are one step away from competing for a state championship. This 6'6 O-lineman pushed his game further by improving his lower body athleticism and mobility while packing on the needed size to become a bully in the trenches. Dorton does a good job of locking onto his man in the run game and driving him off the ball. He is also an underrated pass protector that still has room to develop in that area. Once committed to Furman, Dorton is back on the open market and sits as one of the best available at his position. Potential is there to one day become a D1 guy with continued development and work.    - - - - -    The newest name to our O-line rankings is this West Tennessee big man that may have as much potential as anybody listed in this article. Standing 6'8 285 pounds, Turnage is a late bloomer that has a lot to learn about playing offensive line but the tools and potential is certainly there. Handling mainly tight end and D-line throughout his career, Turnage gained experience at tackle this year and showed why college programs were in hot pursuit. Just recently, the Trojans big man committed to Mississippi State and the Bulldogs may pull in a steal here with someone that could become a multi-year during his time in Starkville. There is a lot to learn for this 6'8 blocker but his ceiling is high, sporting the kind of size and athleticism to excel in the Southeastern Conference.      - - - - -    One of the biggest risers in our updated senior rankings is this Chattanooga area big man that shows on film the ability to develop into a starting center on the college landscape. Sporting good size and a technique sound skill set, Gilbert is one of the more improved offensive linemen in our senior class that took his game to another level by developing further with his bend and lower body agility as well as his football IQ. His film is strong. Gilbert handles the blitz well while maintaining his balance and strength. I like how Gilbert worked hard in the offseason to push his game further and put himself on the map as a legit college prospect. He may have to start his career on the lower level of college ball but could be a guy to watch for as a potential FCS, D1 guy down the road.    - - - - -    New to the state of Tennessee, Lehal took advantage of his senior campaign in the South where he moved his way into our rankings, placing himself among the top 30 O-linemen from the #TN2025 class. This native Canadian is a big boy that takes up a lot of space on the interior. He is a physical competitor with powerful hands that works well in the run game, sporting the strength to become a nasty mauler on the collegiate stage. His pass protection is one area that must continue to be worked on. Lehal shows upside in this area but will need time to develop. If any college coaches are looking for a guy that excels with his run blocking while having the physical size to compete on the next, Lehal could be your guy.    - - - - -    Standing about 6'2 280 plus pounds, Bakker is a hidden gem that plays bigger than his size along with having vast experience handling center and multiple positions across the Fighting Irish front line. One of the most improved O-linemen from our senior class, Bakker is a technique sound ball player that moves well, shows the mobility to handle the pass rush while sporting upside to develop as a starting college center. This Mid-TN product handles tackle for his team and does a good job but has the size and skill level to excel on the interior. Time in the weight room will be needed for Bakker but he has the drive and mental makeup to work hard and gain the needed girth to eventually contend for a college starting spot.    - - - - -    Rowland is a new name to our rankings but someone that was on my radar throughout the past year. I saw potential with this guy but he needed time to gain the proper weight to become a legit college prospect. He has done that and it's helped push his game to another level. The biggest thing I like about Rowland is his physicality and tenacious game play. This guy gets after it. Rowland enjoys the contact aspect of the game but he's not just a mauler, the Bulldogs senior is a deceptive athlete with room for growth in his pass blocking. He shows good lateral movements along with nice blitz recognition. Rowland still needs time working on his pass protection while continuing to form his body but I like the potential here with this East Tennessee sleeper.    - - - - -    Ford is a long term prospect that jumped up our rankings after an improved senior year that showed potential to one day carve out a starting role on the college level. Standing 6'4 270 pounds, Ford has a nice physical profile that can pack on more weight and gain the confidence to contend in college for a starting spot at center. That's where I like his potential the most and he has experience there, starting in the middle for the Trojans this past season. Ford is a good athlete that shows on film the ability to handle the rush. Where he may be lacking is blocking in the run game. That area can develop further with additional weight. It may take time for Ford to fill out while continuing to learn the game but the long term payoff could be strong.    - - - - -   <a href="https://prepredzone.com/tennessee/rankings/2025-rankings/?position=OL">Tennessee Sr O-line Rankings</a>   Other O-line Risers: [player_tooltip player_id='1277472' first='Matthew' last='Worsham'] - Briarcrest Chrst., [player_tooltip player_id='1474424' first='Markel' last='Hamm'] - Hillsboro, [player_tooltip player_id='1323060' first='Blake' last='Barker'] - Columbia Acad., [player_tooltip player_id='1275478' first='Jessiah' last='Boga'] - Whitehaven, [player_tooltip player_id='466279' first='Aidan' last='Hitesman'] - Morristown-West   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/11/jboga.jpg?w=400" alt="" class="wp-image-1569050" style="width:306px;height:auto" /></figure>
