<p>The Class of 2026 is going to produce a plethora of offensive linemen that commit to the FBS, FCS, and D2 levels along with plenty of D3 athletes as well. Even when you narrow down the list by focusing on just one half of the state you will still find that deep collection of talent. Because of the outrageous depth at the position we have decided to split our coverage of it into two regions. North and south of Hwy 10. A hwy that pretty well splits the state into two halves. We start with north of the line. We have nine athletes that are battling to be in the top of the overall rankings. Athletes that have the shot to play FBS, FCS, or D2 football at minimum. Let's dive into this loaded talent pool.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The premier talent of OL out of northern Wisconsin is [player_tooltip player_id='1475845' first='Kenton' last='Mondeau']. The '26 OT has elite level traits when it comes to size, length, power, physicality, and demeanor. The way that Kenton is able to overwhelm and dominate at the high school level is unfair. He has the power to drive his opponent off the line, or more appropriately, run them off the line. The big fella wastes no opportunity to bury and punish DL too. His heavy hands are devastating at initial contact and maybe the hardest to get free of when he clamps on.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Another OL who brings that intimidating, devastating power and finishing mentality to the trenches is OG [player_tooltip player_id='511172' first='Todd' last='Marx']. The big fella shines on the interior. He has the footwork to be able to always be in position where he can wall off the defender and also has the knee and ankle flexibility to get underneath his opponent. That gives him a huge advantage when it comes to driving opponents out of the trenches and into the second level. Todd's raw power and ability to stay balanced and square on his man is going to make him a dominant guard prospect for the next level. A monster senior season is brewing.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">This is the type of kid that coaches dream about. An elite frame with strength in the trenches to match. Then give him an explosive first step in the run game and the knowledge of how to win with leverage gained from years of wrestling success. That is what you have here with Kewaunee OL [player_tooltip player_id='566705' first='Mitchell' last='Boeder']. The junior also brings outstanding range to the field. Range that helps him close quickly on level two defenders, or pull and lead across the formation. Boeder is a smooth athlete with explosive power ready to be unleashed on an opponent at any moment. Don't overlook this talented 2026.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">One of the more exciting recruits of Northern WI is Chippewa Falls OT [player_tooltip player_id='1610025' first='Noah' last='King']. There is so much to love about his game at this point, but the reason to be excited is because his best football is still to come. Noah plays at 260 lbs, a weight that he easily carries while showing off range to pull or get out in space and devastate DBs. That range is paired with natural flexibility to give him leverage and also a strong anchor to sink into while pass blocking. Noah's active hands do a great job getting inside and also making the first contact, giving him control over where the defender goes. If he can hold onto, or improve those strengths while also filling out more at the next level then I believe that King has a great chance at being a potential FCS recruit.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">If you are a team looking for someone to be a tone setter in the trenches. Someone that is going to physically dominate interior DLs with surprising quickness and mauling power then Yusif is a kid you need on your boards. The junior already brings an outstanding frame to the field that is filled out to an impressive 315 lbs. The size doesn't hinder him on tape either. Yusif explodes off the line in the run game, quickly closing the gap on DL or LBs and landing punches that create a positive surge for the offense. The big fella is really good at running his feet through his blocks too. The '26 is big, explosive, and an unfair match when it comes to power. Tap into his tape ASAP.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">One of the steals of northern WI just might be Bay Port's [player_tooltip player_id='1361650' first='Aiden' last='Dirksen']. The junior started on the interior while helping bring home a D1 State Championship. Now he is spending the offseason getting ready to slide out to OT. A position that should match his 6'7" 285 lbs frame really well. Spending the past season on the interior gave us a great look into the power that Aiden has. Going up against the biggest athletes on the field we got to see the power, leverage, and hand placement shine as he would dig DTs out of gaps. I can't wait to see him play out on the edge this summer and fall.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Cael is an IOL who spent 2024 playing center for Rice Lake. A team that made it to state with their overwhelming run game. Spearheading the blocking up front was Cael. The 6'4" 300 lbs athlete fits the position really well. He gets off clean exchanges with the QB and doesn't let that hinder any of his blocking. The junior flashes quick hands that are strong once he locks onto his man. Cael does a great job with his run blocking. He pairs those heavy hands with a leg drive that has been able to bulldoze every opponent he faces off the line of scrimmage. Watching his highlights I kept thinking the same two things. Athletic. Violent. Two things that any OL coach would love to have loaded into a 6'4" 300 lbs recruit.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The interior OL positions are loaded up with talent. Chippewa Falls has one of their own in [player_tooltip player_id='1601657' first='Carson' last='Parker']. Carson is 280 lbs of power and violence. In pass protection you see the anchor strength force IDL looking for a counter move every time they try to win with a bull rush. Where Carson really shines is the run game. That is where he can explode out of his stance, get hands inside, and plow his man wherever he wants to take him. Chippewa Falls has also been able to get him on the move, pulling him across the formation where he can trap DL or get up field and open huge alleys for his RB after removing an LB from the gap. Parker is loaded up with power and has the athleticism required to be a difference maker on the interior of the line.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">One of the more dedicated athletes I have covered in this Class is Spring Valley's [player_tooltip player_id='1359903' first='Maxx' last='Wittmer']. The junior is always working on his game and trying to learn the best way to go about things. That has me excited for this summer and fall because as a junior the tape was already grabbing my attention. There is so much potential to tap into when you watch him on tape. You see the raw power to wash a DL down the line of scrimmage away from the gap. You also see him drive opponents off the line, even when he doesn't win the leverage battle. The power in his lower body was able to cover up some of those moments. As he continues to develop that technique we are going to see him devastate opponents even quicker and easier than in 2024. A big summer is on the horizon for Wittmer. Get him on your radars if he isn't there already.</p>
