2025 Rankings Update: Eye-Grabbing Offensive Linemen

We have updated our rankings for the 2025 class! Today, I will be diving into some offensive linemen who have caught my eye. A handful of these gentlemen have been unsigned, and colleges could benefit by having them on their roster. Let's get into the evaluations of these big bruising linemen.    Zakhem is a looming tackle. The 6'8 285-pound behemoth plays both offensive line and defensive line. Kid is smart too; he has a 4.3 GPA. His play and smarts attracted Harvard, who he will be playing for in the fall. Zakhem has really good size for a tackle. Lengthy arms as well. They come in handy with keeping DL away, and DL with shorter arms struggle against him. Zakhem has very good strength. It's impressive how he is able to get lower than the defensive line. It's tougher for taller linemen to do that, great job. His pass protection stands out to me. Zakhem has a powerful anchor, allowing him to not get knocked around. Good hand placement and very good hand strength. He dominates in 1 on 1s, and I'm excited to see how his career unfolds.     Johnson caught my eye last year by attending one of our Prep Redzone showcases. This kid can play. Measuring in at 6'5 310-pounds, Johnson is a mauler. He has elite strength to lock up the defensive line or edge rusher. He is consistently neutralizing that threat. Johnson starts with a low pad level, out maneuvering the defensive lineman. He has very good initial quickness out of his stance, initiating contact first. Johnson locks out the defender with his elite hand strength and very good hand placement. Allows him to control and steer the DL with ease. He excels in pass protection. He has a very good anchor, sticking his feet in the ground making himself immovable. Johnson also has good athletic ability and it shows on pull blocks. He has a very good competitive toughness and plays with a high tenacity to him. Johnson plays after the whistle as well. Any college looking to solidify their offensive line NEEDS to look his way.     The versatile offensive linemen dominates as both a guard and at center. He measures in at 6'5 310-pounds which is phenomenal size for a lineman. I can even see him lining up at tackle due to his size and length. He has very good strength and uses that to overpower his opponents. Bantner maintains a low pad level to out leverage the defensive line. He has good hand strength, mixed with very good hand placement. Bantner uses his this to control and steer his opponents; creating lanes in the running game or ample time for his quarterback. He was an integral part of the Ralston Valley's playoff run, and I'm surprised that he still hasn't been offered.     Burcar had a nice season for the Rebels. The 6'3 250-pound tackle killed it in both the run and passing game. I think he could also slot in as a left guard, and still succeed. Burcar has a good athletic ability to get out in space and downfield. He has a high motor. The tape shows his fiery spirit. He has very good strength. Very good initial quickness out of his stance. Very good quickness going form the 1st to 2nd level blocking. It's almost instant. He has good hand placement, mixed with very good hand strength. Burcar consistently overpowers the defensive. Doesn't matter if it's a defensive lineman, or a linebacker at the 2nd level. In pass protection, he'll swat the arms from the edge rusher biding himself some extra time. Having played on a championship team, I'm surprised colleges haven't been looking more his way. He's a great player with a lot to give an organization.     Richardson has gone under the radar. He measures in at 6'6 310-pounds. This big boy can move out in space. He has very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, and good speed. One of the most athletic offensive linemen I've seen at the high school level. Richardson was stride for stride with the running back, making multiple lead blocks down the sideline. Wow. He has very good competitive toughness, and is consistently playing through the whistle or helping teammates with blocks. Richardson has very good strength, and runs through the DL. He is a very physical player. An important thing to note, he let go of a lineman before it would be considered a hold. Great ability to understand that. He has very good hand placement and hand strength. Controls and steers whoever he's against with ease. Colleges need to take a 2nd look at his potential. The mixture of speed and power from an offensive lineman is rare. Whoever picks him up is getting a gem.
