2028 Rankings Update: OL

As we get closer and closer to the start of the 2025 high school football season, we have begun a new round of rankings updates. The latest class to be updated in the state of Kentucky is the class of 2028. With these rankings being posted, I will be taking the next week to break these rankings down by position. After already covering the offensive skill players, here are our top offensive linemen in the class of 2028 in the state of Kentucky.    [player_tooltip player_id='1638832' first='Ryan' last='Walls'] made his case as one of the top overall players in the state in his class with a very impressive freshman year. Walls lines up at left tackler where he is very reliable in pass protection. He has shown the footwork to mirror opposing pass rushers along with the physical punch to knock them off balance with ease. Walls is also impressive as a run blocker in open space, showing the ability to get to the second level in a hurry and destroy any defender in his path. Ryan currently holds offers from Florida State, Marshall, Eastern Kentucky, and UT-Martin, and I expect more to come his way over the next few years.     [player_tooltip player_id='1701050' first='John' last='Carrico'] is another 2028 offensive lineman who stood out this past season. He is very versatile, showing the ability to line up at both right tackle and left guard as a freshman. John explodes out of his stance and runs his feet through contact to drive his man down the field. He finishes his blocks with a ton of physicality, resulting in frequent pancake blocks. In pass protection, Carrico has shown the ability to keep a strong base while absorbing contact and defeat pass rush moves with ease. Carrico currently holds offers from Kentucky, Louisville, Miami (OH), and Eastern Kentucky, and I expect his recruitment to continue to heat up this offseason.     [player_tooltip player_id='1268014' first='Christian' last='Bryant'] is a player who stood out when breaking down freshman year film. He showed the versatility to play both tackle spots where he is very impressive as a run blocker. Bryant does a great job of running his feet through contact to create movement off the line of scrimmage and finishing his blocks through the whistle. He has also shown the ability to pull from the tackle spot and pick up blocks in the open field as a lead blocker. Bryant currently holds offers from Eastern Kentucky, Kentucky, Southern Mississippi, and Sacramento State, and I expect more to come his way going into his sophomore year.     [player_tooltip player_id='871294' first='Hudsen' last='Close'] made an immediate impact as a freshman, starting at left tackle. Close is a dominant run blocker, especially on down blocks, showing the ability to run his feet through contact to drive his man out of the picture to create a running lane. He is also very reliable in pass protection, showing the ability to keep a strong base while absorbing contact, not allowing much penetration into the pocket. Hudsen currently holds offers from Liberty, East Carolina, and Eastern Kentucky, and I expect more to come his was as he is a Division I caliber prospect.     To wrap up our top five offensive linemen in the class of 2028 in the state of Kentucky, I have [player_tooltip player_id='1701070' first='Grant' last='Holman']. Holman lines up at right tackle where he is very impressive as a run blocker. Grant has a physical initial punch which he uses to knock defenders off balance with ease. He also does a great job of running his feet through contact to drive his man down the field and finishes his blocks through the whistle, often with a pancake block several yards down the field. Holman has also shown the ability to get to the second level in a hurry and pick up blocks in the open field. Grant currently holds an offer from Eastern Kentucky and I expect more to come his way as he continues to develop.
