<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Several top offensive linemen have seen their stock soar in the latest Prep Redzone Texas update, earning major offers and climbing the rankings thanks to dominant spring performances and last fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1229565"],"_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-680dae4094181"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ojo continues to show why he's considered one of the elite offensive linemen in the country. With long arms, quick feet, and superb agility, he dominates defenders at the line of scrimmage and reaches the second level with ease. His violent first step and aggressive play style have made him one of the top risers nationally this offseason. The Under Armour Dallas OL MVP, Ojo has locked in official visits with Texas, Ole Miss Florida, Michigan, and Ohio State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/FelixTheOL/status/1855363405374234979","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/FelixTheOL/status/1855363405374234979 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["535622"],"_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-680dae40941da"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mays plays with excellent technique and violent hands, consistently taking control of defenders at the point of engagement. He's quick in space and plays with a nasty edge, helping him climb significantly in the rankings. Committed to Texas Tech over offers from Baylor, Houston, SMU, and Oklahoma State, Mays is one of the most polished linemen in Texas.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JeraldJJMays/status/1856453115886645744","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JeraldJJMays/status/1856453115886645744 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1229556"],"_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-680dae4094223"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Best is a technician up front, using a stiff punch and excellent leverage to clear lanes in the run game and protect the passer. He's highly effective at the second level and recently dropped a top five of Kansas State, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Missouri, and SMU.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/NoahBest76/status/1864785289475924300","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/NoahBest76/status/1864785289475924300 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1229792"],"_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-680dae4094269"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Katoa is a physical force on the interior, overpowering defenders with raw strength and surprising quickness for his size. He is explosive off the ball and capable of making blocks at the second level, showcasing rare athleticism for a player of his stature. He's narrowed his recruitment down to SMU, Oklahoma, and Texas A&amp;M.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/toa_katoa/status/1858574880519979344","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/toa_katoa/status/1858574880519979344 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["970330"],"_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-680dae40942d9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Krempin has become one of the nation's fastest-rising recruits over the past two seasons, now holding over 53 offers. With great feet, quickness in his kick-slide, and extended reach, he's stout at the point of attack and plays with excellent leverage. Upcoming visits are set with LSU, Michigan, SMU, and Texas.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/zadenkrempin/status/1843086921146532089","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/zadenkrempin/status/1843086921146532089 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
