More than any group so far, we had to leave off some talented players. We've picked a top seven, with plenty of honorable mentions to go along with them. If you've missed any of our other deep dives, you can find them below. So, here we go. Who are the top offensive linemen in Wake County?

He's only been playing football for a couple of years, but has offers from just about every major college in the country. He's powerful and moves really well for a lineman, with a strong kick step and anchor in pass protection and good hips as a run blocker.     Williams has the early attention of schools across the country thanks to huge potential and strong early returns as a freshman starter at left tackle. He's currently a better run blocker than pass blocker thanks to insane power and very refined technique. He has good pad level and can blow defenders off the line. He flashes as a down blocker and puller, and those are areas he can continue to grow in. As he develops as a pass-blocker, he'll get better and better.     Offor has a unique skillset, as he's both extremely athletic and extremely large. He's run a laser-timed 5.11 40, a testament to his footwork and movement skills. He's not the most experienced of the linemen on this list, but he really played well down the stretch for Enloe in 2024. Given his combination of size and speed, it's easy to think the nuances of the tackle position will come in time and that he could be a fast-rising recruit.     Pulley has the versatility to play both guard and tackle, though we see him as a true FCS guard at the next level. He's not known as much for his power as he is for his ability to seal the creases on pulls and his excellent pass-blocking technique. A guy who should continue to grow, Pulley's versatility should make colleges happy.     Despite being a bit undersized, Han is a scouting favorite of mine, a quick and powerful right tackle with plenty of pop in the running game. He's excellent when he pulls and he climbs well to the second level. He really improved his pad level and anchor as a junior and with a bit more weight, he's a true FCS recruit.     Kranick is my favorite center prospect in the area, even though he mostly played left guard last season. He seeks out work, especially as a pass blocker and he's active on the interior, willing to look for guys to hit. He plays much bigger than his frame would suggest and that's served him well as he's gained weight in the last year.     Howard played well for Rolesville as a freshman, even though he wasn't a full-time starter. That will probably serve him well as he transfers to Southeast Raleigh, as he played both left and right guard and has the ability to kick out tot tackle as well. He's still growing into his body, but holds himself well and has a strong base and good balance.    <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Honorable Mentions</h3>   [player_tooltip player_id='1098487' first='Tavares' last='Robinson'], 2026, Fuquay-Varina: Though undersized, Robinson is one of my favorite interior offensive linemen in the area. He moves really well and is a menace as a puller.   [player_tooltip player_id='1246211' first='Aamir' last='Morgan'], 2026, Rolesville: Morgan's potential is through the roof, given his athletic profile. It all comes down to opportunities and what he does with those. With a great senior season, he could get some Group of Five looks at tackle.   [player_tooltip player_id='1607759' first='Malek' last='Griffin'], 2027, Cardinal Gibbons: Griffin flashes high-level technique and traits. I'd like to see him be a bit more aggressive on a down-to-down basis, but the traits and talent are there for him to be a high-level left tackle.
