In this edition, we cover some premium Offensive Linemen in the state who will play on Saturdays when their prep days are over. Get to know these names!    Tafa has the prototypical size for a tackle. He is tremendously athletic and light on his foot. He'll be a blindside tackle for years. Tafa has great agility, is quick off the ball to pull, and is quick on his feet to be effective on screens. For his size, he is nimble and showcases good lateral quickness. Tafa also blends physicality nicely, and in run-blocking situations, he will be quick to press forward and pancake a defender, push a defender back a few yards, and get to the next level. Tafa is a great left tackle and in pass protection, is a brick wall and keeps defenders in front of him, doesn't back down from any challengers, and holds up nicely. He is a premier tackle in the nation and projects to be a player who hears his name called in the NFL Draft and plays on Sundays.     Aloisio is an uber-athletic lineman, who is light on his feet and showcases excellent ability to pull and be nimble on the move. He has great technique and excellent hands, he can switch off at will and go from an interior rusher and transition to an oncoming late blitzer without missing a beat. Alosiso is a player who can play both tackle positions, move inside, and be a pulling Guard. With his technique, length, and overall athleticism, he would not be overmatched as a blindside tackle. Aloisio will be a highly coveted recruit who will get multiple Power-Four offers and his trajectory includes playing on Sundays. He is an excellent talent and a versatile one at that.     Benjamin has exceptional size and towers over most defenders. His massive frame lends him to get north of 315 lbs. He is a mauler, a physical tackle who looks to pancake guys left and right and brings physicality to each play. He showcases good footwork and projects as a Right Tackle but could be a swing tackle if needed. He shows enough quickness to play with tackle spots. Benjamin showcases excellent hands and technique, doesn't overreach to get touchy penalties, and is good at keeping everything in front of him during pass protection. He should get Power-Four offers.     Havea is light on his foot, shows good footwork overall, and does a good job at keeping defenders in front of him. His lateral quickness shows when he pulls and gets involved in the screen game. He is a physical player and can play both tackle positions but is likely a better fit at Left Tackle and could move inside to Guard. He does a good job at not over-extending himself. He does a good job at both pass and run protection. He should get regionally recruited.     Taukiuvea is simply an athlete. A two-sport athlete who started games as a Freshman on the football field and the basketball court for West. He earned 2nd team All-State Honors on the Offensive Line. Taukiuvea flashed excellent technique, is light on his feet, can pull, and is effective in the screen game. He showcases great hands and is someone who doesn't overreach. Taukiuvea is an uber-athlete and his future might be on the other side of the ball. As an EDGE rusher, he can show his explosiveness and use his hands to swipe opposing blockers and get to the Quarterback. He is quick twitched and physical. With him playing two sports and spending time on the basketball court, it's likely his weight will stay around 250-260, that would be ideal for both sports, where he can still be explosive and twitchy and put his future on the defensive side of the ball. But currently, being named 2nd team All-State as an Offensive Lineman, is his base and his future will be bright no matter what side of the ball he commits to and will be a player that gets multiple Power-Four offers.    Those are some exciting Offensive linemen to get to know. Next time, we'll cover guys on the other side of the ball.
