Who is the best offensive lineman in Michigan’s Class of 2027?

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I was behind the 8 Ball on this offensive line class for a while. Now, I feel I have a good grip, especially when it comes to the top of the class. This looks like an elite offensive line class. Several Power 4 prospects, most of whom have blown up in the past couple of months. Here are my thoughts on the probable top 5 ranked '27 offensive linemen. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1625661"],"_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-68570b57ade3a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Louis is in the midst of a legendary offseason. Little attention heading into the new year, and now, offers from schools like Michigan and Pitt. When schools like those offer, I listen. Michigan and Pitt, in particular, are extremely selective when sending out offers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The tape is what you'd expect. Detailed footwork, a wide variety of blocks, and all-around dominant play, especially when it comes to footwork. The elite footwork especially shines in the offseason- Louis has proven to have a consistent, balanced kickstep. Great anchor, great punch, and has overall proven to be one of the post fundamentally polished linemen in Michigan, regardless of class. I am leaning toward ranking Louis as the #1 offensive lineman in Michigan. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1689097"],"_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-68570b57ade95"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another lineman who is in the midst of an incredible offseason. Since the end of March, Dewey has earned offers from the likes of Colorado, Indiana, Michigan State, Minnesota, and several others. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dewey's tape is all about power. Play after play, run after run, Dewey paves the way by deleting a defender. Reach block, base block, whatever block, Dewey's first step is always strong. He does an excellent job of finishing every block. I'm very impressed with the tenacity shown on tape. <br>I do have a blind spot, as I'm unsure how skilled Dewey is as a pass blocker. He does have one clip on Twitter that I'm impressed with. Quick feet, stays square, and holds his hands up, prepared to punch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is looking like an incredible offensive line class. Dewey will be ranked very high in the incoming update. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1277061"],"_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-68570b57adee0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I've talked at length about Jack, and he's currently one of my most confident evaluations in this class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jack may not have the offer volume of others on this list, but I know he's worked just as hard. This is a prospect who just recently made the switch to tackle, and he's shown a ton of promise. In short, Jack has good bend, great athletic traits, and is quickly developing his punch and overall instincts. The two biggest flaws of Jack are currently experience and size. Jack has the height, but lacks the weight of other Power 4 prospects. As I said earlier, he's still relatively new to being a full-stop offensive tackle. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I am leaning toward ranking Jack #3 in this next update. He'll likely be #3 or #4. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1615678"],"_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-68570b57adf27"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Eight Division 1 offers for Jakari, all of which have come in the past 40 days. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On tape, Jakari's size and physicality show up. Play after play of absolutely dominant physical play. Whenever Jakari is able to get his hands on a defender, you better bet he's driving the guy back 5+ yards. He's one of the best offensive linemen in Michigan when it comes to straight-up power. <br>I beleive Jakari needs to vastly improve his footwork, pad level, and all-around balance, especially when pass blocking. I trust these are things he's worked hard on this offseason. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["424593"],"_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-68570b57adf6c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tobin hasn't had the flashiest offseason compared to others on this list, but I still beleive that Tobin is a Division 1 talent and a top 5 offensive lineman in this class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'm honestly not too sure why Tobin hasn't earned more attention. When I watch Tobin, I see someone of excellent size, someone who moves very well for his size, and a prospect who is always looking for ways to get better. I wish I had better notes on William's pass blocking, but I remember him doing well at Boss Hog last month. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
