2027’s Elite Offensive Line Class

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This offensive line class has the potential to be the best we've seen in the 2020s. We currently have 9 offensive linemen holding at least one Division 1 offer. It's still early on- there's a world where all nine of these players end up being Power 4 players, and even then, there's always a couple more offensive linemen who earn late offers. Here's a small tidbit on our current Top 5 offensive linemen- all considered to have Power 4 upside. </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-686420212d09c"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>The most fundamentally sound offensive lineman in this class</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Agility allows Louis to stick with bendier, faster linemen</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Has the power, anchor, footwork to stiff strong defensive tackles</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>A touch under what some P4s would call "ideal" size</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Very few nitpicks.
