2026 Rankings: Hidden Gems at Offensive Line

We have a lot of offensive linemen who were ranked in our 2026 batch. Today I wanted to look at a handful of players who were ranked past #100. You might not know who they are, however their place is paramount to their team. It's always a pleasure to dive into the offensive linemen tape and find some diamonds in the rough. Let's dive into the evaluations of these hidden gems!    Gardzelewski measures in at 6'5 280-pounds. When I put on the film, I was immediately impressed with his athletic ability. As a big offensive lineman, he can move! He has very good speed, and acceleration. Very good pull blocker. He can keep up with the running back create running lanes down the stretch into the 2nd and 3rd level. Versatile lineman who lined up as a guard and left/right tackle. Very good strength. Good quickness out of his stance. Good hand placement. Very good hand strength to control and steer the defender. He has very good competitive toughness, playing through the whistle and assisting his teammates finish blocks. He's an underrated prospect who deserves more love, and I wouldn't be surprised if a P4 team called due to his tenacity and speed.     Measuring in at 6'4 280-pounds, Logan is a bruising tackle for Lewis-Palmer. When you throw on the tape, you see a physical blocker who loves to get his hands dirty. Ty'sen has very good strength. He uses that to consistently lock out edge rushers and interior defensive linemen. He has good initial quickness out of his stance, engaging with the defender first. He has good footwork to match his shoulders. Good hand placement. Very good hand strength. Good acceleration and quickness when going from 1 block to the next. He is a phenomenal run blocker consistently creating run lanes. Keep an eye out for Logan as I believe he will continue raising his stock during the off-season and senior season.     Reish measures in at 6'4 265-pounds and was a lockout C/G for Canon City all year. He had 73 pancake blocks, not allowing a single sack. Reish has very good technique, and it has impressed me. Very good strength. Starts with a low pad level and uses his elite hand placement and hand strength to lock out defenders. He controls and steers them with ease, consistently overpowering the opposition. Powerful legs to drive forward. He has good speed and acceleration out in space to get in front of the RB. Reish's very good mental processing was on full display. He'd let go of the defender before it would be considered a hold. Another aspect of his game is how he has very good competitive toughness. Reish plays through the whistle and adds an extra fire to the OL. He's an impressive interior lineman, who will defiantly be getting some offers.     Measuring in at 6'5 250-pounds, Stroup was key in protecting the quarterback and creating running lanes all season long for Pomona. Stroup has very good strength, and it's shown throughout the film. If he gets beat, he'll use that strength and pull down the DL/LB shutting them down instantly. He has a low pad level, good knee bend and good footwork. Stroup consistently creates contact first with the defender. Goes into good hand placement and very good hand strength. Controls and steers the defenders away, pushing them 10+ yards downfield to create lanes. Stroup stays with his block even after the whistle, showing his very good competitive toughness. He has a good anchor in pass protection. Shines as a run blocker. He uses his good acceleration and speed to dominate on pull blocks or blocks out in space. Keep an eye out for Stroup this upcoming season.     Measuring in at 6'4 290-pounds, this guard showed why he's a very good run blocker. Mellott has good athletic ability due to good acceleration, speed, and footwork. Fantastic pull blocker. On toss plays, he gets out in front of the RB blocking multiple guys. He has good initial quickness out of his stance. Good hand placement and hand strength. Mellott gets low and lays the boom on the defender. On the film, you can see it took some of them by surprise. He's good at going from the first to 2nd level in blocking, locking down both defenders. He's great at both pass blocking and run blocking. He plays with tenacity and brings fire to the offensive line. He's a great lineman, and I'm excited to see how he does next season!
