<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='816286' first='Maxwell' last='Hiller'] being at the top of my list shouldn't be a surprise. Hiller holds 30 offers picking up his 30th (University of Florida) on April 10th. His tape screams college ready. Strong hands and good hip flexibility pair together to make him a sound pass protector. In the run game Hiller emphasizes violence on every rep often times finishing the play on top of an opposing defender or pushing him back 10 yards by the time the play is over. Hiller has tackle size but also in my eyes has the positional flexibility to play guard if needed. Hiller plain and simple is a dude you'll be hearing a lot about on Saturday's in a few years.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='612806' first='Jayden' last='King-Gant'] is your picture perfect, prototype guard at the FBS level. The size says it all but his violence and thirst for contact in pass protection is what really stood out to me. He has good lateral movement and hands that appear strong enough to punch through concrete. While I don't have an exact measurement on his arm length, boy do they look like vines on tape, falling down past his thigh pad which I took note of. King-Gant is someone who is a pure bodyguard on the interior, throws people out the club in the pass game and shows some flashes at being great at wide zone concepts and down blocks. King-Gant needs more hype around him because this is an FBS guard and I believe he has a P4 ceiling. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">I've already covered [player_tooltip player_id='1623518' first='Sebastian' last='Waddell'] in a previous article but he's making another appearance. Waddell hold an SEC offer and needs more. He is featured on here for an abundance of reasons, the violence, the flexibility setting vertically in pass protection, the mauler side of him in the run game, I could go on. Waddell is your prototypical offensive tackle, he doesn't get beat by length and he seems to never come close to losing a game time rep. He has a strong base to halt power moves to an immediate stop and quick feet and a long reach to also shut down any EDGE rusher bending the corner. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='471545' first='Preston' last='Bernard'] is an old school guard, on film he just moves people around. He's quick on pulls and kick outs and throws his shoulder on double teams. Bernard has a pedigree and he makes it known when he has a clip or a good play against another highly touted player. Bernard plays at the right guard spot facing some of the highest competition in the state at the high school level. In the pass game he's always searching trying to knock someone flat over if he isn't covered. If he is in a 1on1 situation in pass protection he clamps on immediately and uses the chest plate of defenders as a steering wheel. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1623519' first='CJ' last='Miller'] is your classic power oriented OL. There's countless times when he's able to just knock a defender over even when Miller isn't using all his strength. When you watch him throw a kick out block on counter, it's a high chance the end man is getting blown back to the ground. In pass protection he has one of the strongest grips i've seen halting defenders to an immediate stop. Miller holds an offer from Syracuse and I expect him to keep building up his counter going into his Junior season. </p>

So far, the 2027 OL class is probably the best group depth wise. I had lots of hard choices and thinking about who was making my list. These O-lineman are their QBs best friends, so let's get into the bodyguards, road graders, and people movers.
