Evaluations On New Offensive Line Additions to the 2027 Rankings

O'Brien would start for a good portion of varsity programs across the state of Ohio. When you play for a program like Moeller, however, most players will have to wait their turn. At 6'6 O'Brien has a really nice combination of size, length, and athleticism. He's a versatile lineman who shows the ability to dominate in both the run and pass games. In the run game Patrick shows off good feet and the explosive strength to finish violently. In the pass game he bends well, has a strong kick set, and heavy hands. With a strong camp season, I would expect O'Brien to start to get strong D1 interest if not offers.     For a 15-year-old sophomore Burrell is already a physically imposing figure. I love the way this young man plays the game. He plays violent and with a real nasty streak. He's not just looking to execute his block he's looking to bury his man. Burrell lines up at guard for the Stallions. In the run game he's a devastating puller who does a great job of getting down the line and blowing up his man. When he has a man lined head up he plays with great pad level and has the strength to stand his man up and blow them off the ball. Matthias anchors well and is strong in the pass game. Burrell currently has 4 MAC offers and has a P4 offer from Kentucky. With what Burrell put on film as a sophomore, if he can put together some solid summer college camps I'd be surprised if he didn't blow up on the P4 scene this summer.     I first had a chance to see Max at our winter showcase in January. He had an impressive day winning the camp MVP. He didn't lose a rep on the day. Max already possesses a good length and a strong frame. I think Max could play either tackle or guard, but at this point I like him more as a guard. He excels in pass protection. He has short explosive kick steps that allow him to mirror and stay in front of his man. He has really heavy hands and a great anchor. He does a great job of stale mating even strong power rushes. Max is another player at a top program who's had to wait his turn to get varsity action. I would expect that Koback would begin to get D1 attention this offseason and if he can put some good play on film this fall the offers could start to come.     Big Walnut made a big run to the D2 State Semifinals. Green was a key player on the Golden Eagles offensive line. He lined up at both the left and right tackle positions. As o fright now I'd project Green to the interior offensive line at the college level, but he has the athleticism to play tackle if he continues to grow and get taller. Where Green shines is in the run game. He plays with a good pad level and possesses the athleticism to both pull and get to the second level. When he locks in, he has the strength to drive his man out of the play. I'm excited to see what future holds for this versatile offensive lineman.     Mcllvain thrived in Fairmont's run heavy offense. At 6'4 260 he has good size and length. He plays downhill and with good pad level. When he engages in his block the defender goes backwards. Ben possesses the athleticism and capability of lining up at both the left and right tackle positions. I had the chance to see Ben up close in our January showcase. For someone who hasn't spent a lot of time in pass protection, Ben showed fluid athleticism in his pass pro and a strong ability to anchor. As of right now I could see Ben playing either guard or tackle at the next level. He's very coachable and willing to do whatever it takes to help his team. As Mcllvain continues to get bigger and stronger, I expect him to continue to climb in our rankings.
