<p>We have officially released a new set of rankings for the class of 2027 in Arkansas. In this article, we will showcase the 2027 offensive linemen with analysis. Over the next month, I will break down these rankings by position in each class, including other segments. For the offensive linemen, I will provide you with evaluations of some of the top prospects and the players flying under the radar:</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1529172' first='Mickey' last='McIntyre'] is a prospect to add to the recruiting board as he rises to the seventh spot for the position. I expect his recruitment to take off in the fall. He displays good initial quickness off the LOS, maintaining good pad level and hand placement, allowing him to create inside leverage, drive, and displace defenders effectively, as well as create running lanes. McIntyre's athletic ability shines through with his footwork and foot quickness, enabling him to combo and engage defenders at the second level. In pass protection, he stands out for his solid anchor, attributed to his lower body strength, bend, and use of hands to control opponents.</p>   <p class="text-gray-700">Note – Multi-Position Athlete</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/MickeyMci51/status/1933321671500251521 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1664450' first='Andrew' last='Johnson'] ranks 21st in his first-ever ranking. He has the size and athletic ability to succeed at the next level. He excels at pulling into space and creating running opportunities at the second level. Whether he's pulling to the playside edge or linebacker, he can displace those defenders. Johnson demonstrates solid initial quickness in both his 45 and vertical pass sets. He utilizes a strong base and delivers a powerful punch to disrupt the rhythm of pass rushers. He employs a swipe to counter initial contact and focuses on hand placement to create leverage. </p>   <p class="text-gray-700">Note – 3.8 GPA</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/AndrEwJohns0n51/status/1933362171091783983 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1678832' first='Tristian' last='West'] is a breakout candidate for the upcoming 2025 season after transferring from Texas. He recently received his first offer from Howard. He displays good initial quickness off the snap and into his base blocks with good pad level and hand placement. His active feet help him drive effectively, and he showcases good hand strength for control. West is a high-motor prospect with good play strength.</p>   <p>Note - Multi-Position Athlete</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/tristianwest771/status/1929943475438448846 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1644637' first='Keylin' last='Smith'] may be small in stature, but he has put in a lot of work this offseason, particularly during our combine in May. He is a strong inside zone blocker, utilizing solid pad level and hand placement to create leverage and drive. Keep an eye on him this summer.</p>   <p>Note - 3.0 GPA</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/KeylinSmit418/status/1924207471796613555 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1684688' first='Conley' last='Crayne'] transferred to Prescott this off-season, securing the number 50 spot in his first-ever ranking. He plays on the interior and showcases solid initial quickness off the snap. He possesses solid upper and lower body strength that he effectively utilizes in both the run and passing games. He is definitely a prospect to keep an eye on throughout 2025.</p>   <p>Note - 3.7 GPA</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/ConleyCrayne/status/1930603466163917138 </div></figure>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">OTHER TOP 100 OFFENSIVE LINEMEN:</h2>   <p>1.
