Class of 2026 O-Line Watch List Analysis

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Every single one of these offensive linemen can be college prospects. Though, for the most part, these guys don't have enough tape for me to be comfortable ranking them. Here, I'll comment on the existing tape of each prospect, and I'll briefly discuss what they need to do in order to become college prospects this offseason. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1148709"],"_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-67ccacae32900"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">With good offseason showings, Jack could earn GLIAC offers. Mainly, this is because of his size. There simpy aren't many 6'7" people in the world, and that is IDEAL height to play offensive tackle. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jack's film is quite raw, though. His movement is overall pretty unbalanced, and his footwork, especially when pass blocking, needs work. His run-blocking shows some flashes. Mainly, I like that Jack can lock onto a man and drive. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["913836"],"_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-67ccacae32984"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Krystrian hasn't released tape in over a year, but he's still active on Twitter, so I expect him to play next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>So, Krystian plays at Rockford. If he starts next season, I expect him to have good highlights. His JV tape from 2023 shows good aggression, so as long as he's able to hone that aggression, he should have a good shot to start. Even this offseason, if he has good camps, he could be a D3 target. Krystian is a very wait-and-see guy. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1615715"],"_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-67ccacae329e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cole has a couple of highlights out there, but they are honestly difficult to track down. From what I see, Cole is a solid offensive lineman. He played OK at tackle for Davison, but has a body better suited for guard. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In order for Cole to be ranked, I need to see a highlight tape and I need to see him compete in person. I know he earned at least some playing time last season, so there should be enough for a short highlight tape. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1613742"],"_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-67ccacae32a2c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ronan has a handful of highlights- most being at DT. Then, he fails to highlight himself on his O-Line highlights. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Clarkston is a tough team to earn playing time on. Huge school and a lot of linemen. Though, Ronan's current highlights show some good traits. Mainly, Ronan plays as fast as he can and shows solid physicality. Ronan just needs to work on getting stronger and more explosive. There's a good varsity lineman in Ronan- he just needs to earn it. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["567928"],"_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-67ccacae32a76"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Calvin is another player who hasn't released tape in quite a while. Still, on paper, he's a Division 1 prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Calvin's 2023 tape (playing DT) shows his upside. A shorter highlight tape, but that tape still shows physical dominance and a few easy trips to the opposing backfield. Now, Calvin is still semi-active on Twitter, and just got an offer from Kent State, so I'd assume he's still an active player. Hopefully I see more from Calvin this year! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
