Best I Scouted 2024: Offensive Line

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are really blessed with great offensive linemen scattered throughout the state! Below are some of the standout big men I got a chance to see up close and personal in 2024! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["557747"],"_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-67575ad2e6b29"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Canty is an absolute star in the trenches. It doesn't get much better than what Khalief does. He is an absolute bully. Both times I got to see him play, he physically dominated a good defensive front. He has the mobility to get out and block in space, or he can just wash a DT straight down the line, taking out everyone in his path. His passing sets continue to impress, making him one of the best all around OL in the state, hence his D1 attention. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Seth Schlict","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"280","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Chesaning","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67575ad2e6c03"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Looking back at it, Seth was one of the better offensive linemen I got to see this season. His technique was really good. He never got his feet crossed, he stayed low, kept his hands inside and would drive opponents completely out of the play. On passing sets, Seth had a good punch and was able to stay low and stay in front without getting beat with speed. Definitely an underrated performer of the 2024 season! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["566988"],"_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-67575ad2e6c54"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zack continues to impress me. He's another kid with great fundamentals that helps him a ton. He isn't the biggest in terms of stature, but his technique, power and athleticism have allowed him to still be a good prospect on the recruiting trail! He's a competitor who blocks through the whistle. He can run block, pass block, get to the 2nd level and flat out pancake anyone in his path. I got to see it first hand just a few weeks ago and it left a great impression on me. I am looking forward to seeing what another offseason can do to further his already very high value! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["212356"],"_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-67575ad2e6c9b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There was never a doubt that this dude is destined to be a high P4 lineman, and when I saw him a few weeks ago, he proved once again just what makes him so special. He's an absolute powerhouse with tremendous size. He has great footwork, gains leverage on his opponent and simply flattens them. In the passing game, he has great technique and doesn't let any initial pass rush beat him. Even if he gets out of position, which is very rare, he has the athleticism to recover and continue to win the rep. Ben is a very special talent in our state and I will be looking forward to seeing where he commits to! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["212357"],"_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-67575ad2e6ce1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Eziuka was great when I got the opportunity to see him in week 9. He showed rep after rep why he was such a highly sought after recruit. He won a lot of reps with pure power, but there were some where he just got lower and won on technique. In passing sets, he didn't lunge, stayed with a wide base and used his hands well to keep defenders at bay. His size is great and I honestly don't see much for weaknesses in his game right now. If he continues to work this offseason, he is going to be in for an unreal senior campaign. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1127769"],"_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-67575ad2e6d25"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This is probably the last time I'll have the opportunity to write about Ace, but I sure am glad I got a chance to cover him! Both offensively and defensively, Ace was a workhorse who has been working his tail off over the course of his career to get to where he's at, and it paid off with his commitment to Ferris State! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1134353"],"_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-67575ad2e6d76"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There isn't much to say about Jim that hasn't been said before. When I saw him in person, he was exactly what he has been hyped up to be! Physically dominating kid with great technique, superior power that flat out overwhelms even some of the best defensive linemen. When I got the chance to see him this season, he was very polished in the run and passing game and left very little doubt on every rep. I'm looking forward to watching him continue his great career at Virginia! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["602233"],"_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-67575ad2e6dbc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wynn was another Muskegon offensive lineman worth the watch! Rutgers is getting an absolute beast. As you can see from his picture on this site, he's an absolute mauler! His ability to get into the defenders chest and take control off the ball is superior to just about any offensive lineman in the state. I think N-Kye will be incredibly successful at the next level! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1092409"],"_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-67575ad2e6e01"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nolan recently committed to GVSU, and I can see why they liked him so much! He has a fantastic build and has the quick step off the ball to really take control at the snap. He stays balanced and has no issue driving defenders 10 yards downfield. On top of his ability right at the line of scrimmage, Nolan can get down field and lock on at the 2nd level and be an absolute bulldozer into the secondary. He is incredibly impressive in all phases of his game and the offers he received showed a lot of colleges were too! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
