Strong OL group helps headline Louisiana's 2026 class

Louisiana's 2026 class has the makings of one of the state's strongest in recent years with the type of talent that can lay championship foundations.   And a major factor in the high consideration and expectations for the group overall includes its wealth of high-end prospects in the trenches.   Here's a look at eight offensive linemen ranked in the top 50 of the latest Prep Redzone Louisiana update for the class.   And for more on some of the top defensive linemen in the class, <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/02/strong-dl-group-helps-headline-louisiana-2026-class/">click here</a>.     [player_tooltip player_id='212343' first='Lamar' last='Brown'] — 6-4, 280 OL/DL — University Lab   The Cubs' star is the lone player on both the offensive and defensive line lists. Prep Redzone Louisiana's top-ranked prospect in the class is a stout, strong athlete who possesses explosiveness and athleticism in his frame that has the nation's top programs battling for him as a can't-miss target, no matter which side of the line or where along it he ultimately lands at the next level. LSU and Texas A&M have appeared to move to the forefront of recruitment heading into the home stretch of this spring and summer.   [player_tooltip player_id='920611' first='Kaleb' last='Campbell'] — 6-7, 305 OL — Lafayette Christian   One of the first offensive linemen to hit the Prep Redzone Louisiana radar as a freshman with his eye-catching frame and heavy, violent hands, Campbell has continued to develop into a more consistent blocker the past two years the Knights felt comfortable bouncing outside to left tackle as a junior. His strides in his footwork and balance have made him increasingly difficult for opposing rushers to slip past or shed once he engages.   [player_tooltip player_id='401967' first='Jalan' last='Chapman'] — 6-4, 285 OL — Warren Easton   Another of the early standouts in the class, Chapman remains among the headliners of Louisiana's 2026 class, including an LSU commitment late last summer heading into his junior season. The stout, strong blocker has worked all over his Eagles' offensive line with good enough mobility at his size to not only be effective in multiple spots along the line, but versatile in his responsibilities as a run blocker and pass-protector.   [player_tooltip player_id='401986' first='Tylan' last='George'] — 6-3, 315 OL — West Monroe   One of Louisiana's top interior offensive line prospects in the 2026 class was as consistent as any blocker in the stat according to his stat line, credited with 95 pancakes and not charged with a single sack. George is a stout, powerful mauler at his guard position with the mobility and balance to make him a great weapon pulling to the outside or chipping and working his way upfield to the second level in the run game.   [player_tooltip player_id='740981' first='Brysten' last='Martinez'] — 6-6, 290 OL — East Ascension   The Spartans' big multisport standout joined Chapman last week as the next offensive lineman in home-state LSU's 2026 class. Martinez possesses a prototypically tall, long frame and light, quick feet that coaches all over the country seek for the next level — and beyond — and brings a great tenacity and aggressiveness to his blocking to go with the physical attributes.   [player_tooltip player_id='920609' first='O'Ryan' last='Mosley'] — 6-3, 295 OL — Terrebonne   Speaking of tenacity and aggressiveness, Terrebonne's big right tackle has been a top-25 prospect now for several rounds of rankings updates and consistently referenced for his explosive initial punch to consistently stand defenders up and either put them on the turf or drive them backward through the whistle. Mosley is a mauler who was a key to the Tigers' two 1,000-yard rushers, while also showing good mobility at his size and build to be effective in his pass protection against quick, speedy athletes off the edge.   [player_tooltip player_id='920615' first='Leon' last='Noil Jr.'] — 6-5, 275 OL — Edna Karr   The Cougars' standout left tackle is a top-30 prospect in the latest Prep Redzone Louisiana rankings with good recruiting momentum overall and still feels like a candidate this spring and summer to prove himself underrated as he gets a chance to hit the camp circuits. Noil was a critical piece of the team's run to the Division-I Select title as a long, quick, athletic blocker to protect his mobile quarterback in an often long-developing downfield passing attack.   [player_tooltip player_id='1345158' first='Blaise' last='Thomassie'] — 6-5, 275 OL — Catholic (Baton Rouge)   The emergence of the Bears' versatile junior alongside a senior leader gave the team one of the best tackle tandems in the state this fall. Thomassie was a strong, balanced blocker who took over the left tackle spot the bulk of the season, even on a veteran line overall, and was a star in his role to help an offense replacing mainstays at quarterback and running back continue rolling no matter which of more than a handful of players stepped into those roles throughout the season.
