2025 Elite Combine: 2027 O-Line Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1188459' first='Barrett' last='Armbruster'], Rock Bridge<br>- 6'3" 273 - 5.71 laser 40 - 5.09 pro agility - 7'4" broad jump - 20" vertical jump<br>- One of the best sophomore offensive lineman whose games I saw last season. Barrett is a very skilled offensive linemen who plays offensive tackle now but whose future will be playing on the inside of the O-line. He has good size, is strong and moves and runs very well. He showed good skills in 1v1s and was physical with his pass pro and finishes well. He has a good punch with good hands and feet. Armbruster tested well and showed good power, quickness and agility. If he continues on his current trajectory he will definitely have the opportunity to play college football in a couple of years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1556818' first='Caden' last='Ford'], Timberland<br>- 6'6" 273 - 5.71 laser forty - 5.13 pro agility - 7'2" broad jump - 20" vertical jump<br>- The tall, long-armed big footed Ford has a lot of potential and looked the part of a college prospect with his showing at the combine. Caden moves his big feet really well showing very good quickness and footwork. He is still learning his position but started as a sophomore and caught my attention at one of his teams games last season. He is a regular training with O-line skill sessions and looks less raw in the off-season. He has good athleticism, tested well and more than held his own in 1v1s against some real killers in pass pro. Good frame to be an athletic 300-pounder. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1651420' first='James' last='O'Farrell']</strong>, Rockhurst<br>- 6'6" 264 - 5.66 laser 40 - 4.9 pro agility - 8'1" broad jump - 25" vertical jump<br>- The biggest surprise among the 2027 offensive linemen was the very athletic O'Farrell, who combined with great size showed the potential to make a big step towards being a solid college prospect. He was hard to miss walking the Rockhurst sideline with his height and size and earned an invite off the eyeball test. James moves very well and has good feet. He showed good power, explosion, agility, and has solid speed based on some impressive testing numbers he put up. Especially with his jumps. He's still raw but has all the tools needed to make a jump to college prospect as he continues to skill train at his position. I look forward to following what he does his junior year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1323480' first='Jonathan' last='O'Bara'], Blue Springs South<br>- 6'5" 281 - 5.82 laser 40 - 5.3 pro agility - 7'6" broad jump - 20" vertical jump<br>- A real riser to watch for on the Kansas City side is the physical O'Bara. You can tell he's really putting in the work with skill and weight training in 1v1s and battled hard with pass pro against some really talented defensive linemen. Jonathan is physical and moves well with solid footwork and uses of hands. He had a good all around performance with his testing, drills and one on one play. Look for him to have a breakout junior season on a talented team with a good O-Line and compete for playing time. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1219381' first='Caleb' last='Otten'], MICDS<br>- 6'2" 291 - 6.11 laser 40 - 5.13 pro agility - 7'10" broad jump - 21" vertical <br>- You won't find a harder worker than this tough and tenacious future center or guard. Caleb has played left tackle but his natural position is likely Center. He has a good base and hips with a good punch and uses of his hands in pass pro and sits well to hold his ground and direct a pass rusher. He's also athletic and a multiple sport athlete who plays baseball. Otten has impressive strength and power which showed in his jumps at almost 300 pounds. A physical interior linemen with versatile skills who could play any spot along the offensive line. A definite college prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1667975' first='Eli' last='Wilkens']</strong>, Francis Howell<br>- 6'5" 260 - 6.07 laser 40 - 4.7 pro agility - 7'7" broad jump - 24" vertical jump<br>- He's raw and still training to improve his skills but there is no denying his athleticism and impressive testing numbers he showed at the combine. Eli is very quick and explosive with good power and movement. He has long arms and his size is ideal for playing offensive tackle. He had some good reps in 1v1s and showed the potential you look for combined with his size and athleticism. Good upside and a player to watch grow and develop over the next two years the can become a college prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
