Rankings Update: Top Uncommitted '26 D-Linemen

Jefferson Serkfem: Powerful Interior Enforcer with Explosive First Step and Dominant Hands   Jefferson Serkfem is a tone-setter in the trenches, a powerful interior defensive lineman who overwhelms blockers with violent hands and explosive burst off the snap. At the point of attack, Serkfem plays with controlled aggression, routinely manhandling offensive linemen and resetting the line of scrimmage. His ability to disengage quickly and finish plays makes him one of the most disruptive run defenders in his class.   Serkfem currently holds 10+ Division I offers, including from programs like Army, Coastal Carolina, and Morgan State. May was a breakout month for him, adding five new offers to his list. If his dominant production continues into the fall, expect even more schools, potentially from the Power Five ranks, to enter the mix.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JSerkfem18762/status/1934259475537445077 </div></figure>      [player_tooltip player_id='402032' first='Zack' last='Philpott']: Championship Pedigree and Dominant Skill Set in the Trenches   Few prospects bring the combination of proven production, championship experience, and raw power that [player_tooltip player_id='402032' first='Zack' last='Philpott'] offers. A three-time MIAA Champion and Baltimore Touchdown Club Super 22 Team selection, Philpott has built a résumé that speaks for itself. Most recently named First Team All-MIAA, he's established himself as one of the most consistent and physically imposing trench players in the region.   Now at 6-foot-1 and 290 pounds, Philpott blends strength with surprising agility. Whether he's bull-rushing linemen into the backfield or using quick, decisive moves to blow past blockers, he consistently disrupts plays at the line of scrimmage. When anchoring down against the run, he shows excellent balance and leverage, able to lock out, control the point of attack, and shed blockers with ease once he diagnoses the play.   Philpott recently added offers from New Haven and Holy Cross, bringing his total to eight. With his combination of championship experience, strength, and technical refinement, he's the kind of high-motor lineman that college programs covet.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/philpott2026/status/1943427373501665572 </div></figure>      [player_tooltip player_id='1606175' first='Javaine' last='Palmer']: Two-Way Trench Dominator with Rare Size and Athleticism   [player_tooltip player_id='1606175' first='Javaine' last='Palmer'] is one of the most versatile and physically gifted linemen in the region, bringing a rare blend of size, athleticism, and impact on both sides of the ball. Named to the PGCFCA (Prince George's County Football Coaches Association) All-County Team in 2024, Palmer has proven himself as a force in the trenches for both the offensive and defensive fronts.   At 6-foot-4 and 260 pounds, Palmer possesses the frame of a future Power Five lineman and the quickness of a much smaller athlete. On defense, he's a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks, once he beats his man off the snap, he closes with speed, tracking down QBs and ball carriers with ease. As an offensive lineman, he's also disruptive, using his strength and leverage to dominate.   Palmer's ability to impact the game from multiple positions makes him an intriguing two-way lineman in the 2025 class. As he continues to develop and stack production, expect college interest to rise quickly.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Javainep_ </div></figure>      Neal Shama: Rising Interior Lineman with Raw Power and Emerging Athleticism   Neal Shama is an interior defensive lineman whose raw strength and technical foundation make him a promising prospect in the trenches. With a stout build and heavy hands, Shama consistently holds his ground at the point of attack, showing the ability to stack, shed, and disrupt plays even from a still position. He plays with a low center of gravity and leverage, often standing up blockers before making his move to the ball.   Shama's recruitment is beginning to gain traction. He landed his first offer from Georgetown in May, followed by a recent offer from Merrimack this month. With continued growth and exposure, Shama has the tools to climb recruiting boards as a disruptive force on the interior.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Neal_sharma1/status/1927020828761206872 </div></figure>      [player_tooltip player_id='1696286' first='Tristan' last='McCall']: Explosive Interior Defender with Advanced Hand Technique   [player_tooltip player_id='1696286' first='Tristan' last='McCall'] is a disruptive force on the interior defensive line, combining explosive first-step quickness with refined hand technique to consistently win at the point of attack. Off the snap, McCall is violent and sudden, regularly driving blockers a yard into the backfield and immediately putting offenses on the defensive.   What sets McCall apart is his ability to blend power with finesse. He displays a deep arsenal of pass-rush moves, including the chop, spin, and swim, allowing him to disengage from linemen and make plays behind the line. His technique, paired with his relentless motor, makes him a difficult assignment for opposing offensive lines.   A Second Team All-WCAC selection, McCall has already earned recognition in one of the most competitive conferences in the nation. He currently holds an offer from Elon University, and with his skill set and continued production, more programs are expected to follow.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/TristanMcc9/status/1917359371593404895 </div></figure>
