DE Season Preview: Top Uncommitted 2026 Trench Players (2/2)

Here's the second part of the series on the playmakers at the line of scrimmage:    Overview: Hill is a right tackle and defensive tackle who approaches both similarly. In the run game, Hill shoots off the ball and moves well in space. He can slide laterally to down block or get up the field to attack linebackers. And as a pass blocker, he can handle different types of edge rushers on an island. Hill is stout when aligned as a 3 or 4 technique on the d-line. He's difficult to kick out or seal because he's the one usually doing the redirecting. With that in mind, Hill has the raw ingredients and intangibles to play offensive tackle in college.     Overview: Ramsey is a mean right tackle who flashes on the defensive line. With his powerful lower half, he explodes out of his stance and plays with good leverage. Even in his pass sets, he makes extra efforts and plays through the whistle. He stonewalls oncoming edge rushers then pushes them the other way. His pass rushing results in QB pressures, even if he doesn't get sacks. Ramsey is a prospect worth investing in at offensive tackle. It's only a matter of how much weight/mass he can add to his frame. That will determine his ceiling.   GPA: 4.25     Overview: Sartori is a study no guard. Head up or shaded over the center, he's an immovable run defender who can withstand double teams then make the tackle. His strength also shows up on plays where he drives offensive linemen into the backfield. Despite almost exclusively lining up at the 0 or 1, Sartori is pretty agile and mobile. His motor and football intelligence are on full display when he blows up screens or diagnoses misdirection plays. His skillset should translate directly to the college game with the ability to play in various alignments on the interior.   GPA: 3.6     Overview: Seward is an offensive tackle who bookends the left side exactly how you want. He has a good stance and good feet for his size, not allowing smaller-but-quicker rushers to get under or around him. With his wide upper body, Seward is a road grater in the run game. He fires off the ball like he's pushing a sled, devastating whoever's lined up over him. Lastly, Seward is the right kind of nasty as a lineman, pancaking defenders through the echo of the whistle. If he stays locked in, he should be a quality tackle on either end at the next level.     Overview: Thomas is a disruptive defensive tackle who lines up all over the line and a sturdy offensive tackle. Stacked over the guard when he's two-gapping, Thomas controls his man and gets where he wants to go. He does a good job using his hands to dislodge himself from blockers. But when he's shading, he either clogs his gap or gets into the backfield field to disrupt the play. On the offensive end, Thomas uses those hands to punch d-linemen before getting upfield to defenders in the back seven. The two-way lineman has potential on either side of the ball, as a defensive tackle in a single-gap scheme or an offensive guard in a man blocking scheme.   GPA: 3.9     Overview: Thompson is a highly productive defensive end with a lot of energy. He tends to line up on or outside of the tackle. As soon as the ball is snapped, Thompson wins with the pop in his hands and his ability to locate the football.. His long arms help him stack and shed blockers or simply fight his way into the backfield. He moves well going sideline-to-sideline in pursuit. Thompson plays some offensive line, but he projects as a strong-side d-end in a 3 or 4-man front.   GPA: 3.0    For more DE sports coverage, follow me on X/IG @ CGraham_Sports
