The most recent class to be updated is the class of 2027. With this update being officially posted, I will be taking the next couple weeks or so to break our rankings down by position. After already covering the offensive skill players, here are our top offensive linemen in the class of 2027 in the state of Kentucky!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["378828"],"_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-679aa01f92a46"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='378828' first='Brady' last='Hull'] continued to establish himself as one of the top overall players in the state in his class with a very strong sophomore season. Hull lined up at left tackle where he was dominant as a run blocker. He explodes out of his stance and has a physical initial punch which he uses to knock defenders off balance with ease. Brady also does a great job of getting to the second level with a sense of urgency and picking up blocks in the open field. He is also very reliable as a pass blocker, showing the footwork to mirror opposing pass rushers off the edge. Hull currently holds offers from Kentucky, Virginia Tech, Eastern Kentucky, and Miami (OH), and I expect more to come his way going into his junior year as he is a Power 4 caliber prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["500073"],"_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-679aa395babc2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='500073' first='Justyn' last='Perez'] is an offensive lineman who has been high on our radar for a while now and continued to stand out as a sophomore. He lined up at right tackle where he was very impressive in pass protection. Perez has impressive footwork which he uses to mirror pass rushers off the edge. He also does a great job of keeping a strong base while absorbing contact, not allowing much penetration into the pocket. Justyn has also proven to be reliable as a run blocker, showing the ability to drive his man down the field with ease. Perez currently holds an offer from Eastern Kentucky and I expect more to come his way as he has the talent to play at the Division I level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1284258"],"_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-679aa395bac47"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1284258' first='Rahzeon' last='Gillespie'] caught my attention this past offseason and continued to impress during his sophomore year. Gillespie lined up at guard where he was very impressive as a run blocker. He does a great job of exploding out of his stance and running his feet through contact to drive his man down the field. Rahzeon also showed the ability to pull and pick up blocks in open space as a lead blocker. He also proved to be reliable in pass protection, showing the strong base to not allow penetration into the pocket. Rahzeon currently holds an offer from Eastern Kentucky and I expect more to come his way as he continues to develop over the next couple seasons. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["871924"],"_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-679aa395bacc1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='871924' first='Jeremiah' last='Moore'] is a player who has been on our radar for a while now and continued to impress this past season. Moore lined up at center where he proved to be very reliable in pass protection. He does a great job of picking up blitzes/stunts and protecting his inside gap. Moore also keeps a strong base while taking on contact and does a great job of defeating pass rush moves quickly. Jeremiah is also impressive as a run blocker, showing the ability to drive his man off the line of scrimmage and finish his blocks worth a ton of physicality. Moore doesn't currently hold any offers but he is a player who college coaches should keep an eye on heading into his junior year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1200575"],"_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-679aa395bad29"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">To wrap up our top five offensive linemen in the class of 2027 in the state of Kentucky, I have [player_tooltip player_id='1200575' first='Teagan' last='Haretuku']. Teagan jumped onto our radar with a strong sophomore season. He is a versatile offensive lineman, showing the ability to play both guard and tackle. Haretuku is a dominant run blocker, showing the ability to use his strong punch to knock defenders off balance and finish his blocks quickly. He also does a great job of getting to the second level quickly and picking up blocks in open space. Teagan is also reliable in pass protection, showing the ability to mirror opposing pass rushers and defeat pass rush moves. Haretuku doesn't currently hold any offers but he should be a player to keep an eye on over the next two seasons as he continues to develop. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
