St. Louis Co. 26s to Watch: OL

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we approach the heat of the summer, the 2025 high school football offseason is in full swing. With that in mind, I wanted to take some time to focus on some of the top incoming seniors in Missouri in specific areas of the state, starting with St. Louis County. After already covering the offensive skill positions, here are some notable offensive linemen to keep an eye on in the class of 2026 in St. Louis County!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["849685"],"_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-6838d7fa5d8b8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='849685' first='Miles' last='Coleman'] is a versatile offensive lineman who started at center this past season but has also shown the ability to line up at guard. Coleman is very reliable as a run blocker, showing the ability to drive his feet through contact to create movement off the line of scrimmage with ease. He finishes his blocks through the whistle, often several yards down the field. Miles is also reliable in pass protection, showing the ability to snap the ball quickly and pick up stunts/blitzes with ease while maintaining a strong base. Coleman currently holds multiple Division I offers and I expect more to come his way heading into his senior season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1320106"],"_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-6838da5396f83"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1320106' first='Keronn' last='Lacey'] is coming off a solid junior year in which he showed the versatility to play both left and right tackle. Lacey is a dominant run blocker who does a great job of using his strength to drive his man down the field with ease. He has also shown the ability to get up to the second level quickly and pick up blocks in the open field. In pass protection, Lacey has shown the ability to use his footwork to mirror opposing pass rushers off the edge. Keronn currently holds offers from Lindenwood, UT Martin, Southern Illinois, and Western Illinois, and I expect more to come his way as he is a Division I caliber prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1585616"],"_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-6838de45c41ad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another member of the Cardinal Ritter offensive line to watch this season is [player_tooltip player_id='1585616' first='Zebulon' last='Johnson']. Zebulon lines up at guard where he is very impressive as a run blocker. He is very explosive out of his stance and has shown the strength/leg drive to create movement off the line of scrimmage with ease. Johnson has also shown the ability to pull and pick up blocks in open field. In pass protection, Johnson has shown the ability to mirror opposing defensive linemen with ease and drive them out of the pocket to keep them away from the quarterback. Zebulon currently holds offers from Graceland and Morningside, and I expect his recruitment to continue to heat up heading into his senior year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1129720"],"_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-6838de45c424e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1129720' first='Santiago' last='Castillo'] is a player who made a name for himself with a very impressive junior year. Castillo is a big, athletic offensive guard who moves very well for a player of his size. In pass protection, he gets into his pass sets quickly and does a great job of mirroring opposing defensive linemen, not allowing them to cross his face. Santiago plays with a ton of physicality in both pass protection and the run game, finishing his blocks with a sense of urgency, resulting in frequent pancake blocks. Castillo currently holds multiple Division I offers and I expect that list to continue to grow this offseason. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1129643"],"_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-6838de45c42cc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">My final offensive lineman to watch in the class of 2026 in St. Louis County is [player_tooltip player_id='1129643' first='Albert' last='J. Reinberg II']. Reinberg lines up at guard where he is a force as a run blocker. He does a great job of getting early inside position with his hands then driving his feet through contact to create movement off the line of scrimmage. Albert finishes his blocks through the whistle with a ton of physicality, resulting in numerous pancake blocks down the field. He also plays a key role on defense as a defensive tackle. Reinberg doesn't currently hold any offers but he is definitely a player who college coaches should keep an eye on this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
