Rising Juniors' Stock to Buy: Houston Offensive Linemen

Just a couple of weeks outside of real under the light competition, the trenches are getting hot and dangerous down in Houston, Texas. H-Town area football is often noted for its dynamic speed and prolific defenses, but everything starts up front. The offensive lines have to do their part in producing high-octane offenses, and there is a dynamic developing crop of talent in the 2027 class across HTX units. Here are 5 names to know.    Brown is a vicious and polished right tackle who showcases great technique and footwork. In a strong season for the Mustangs, Kennedy allowed just one singular throughout over 600 snaps played. Brown excels in zone run schemes with a quick get-off and violent, intentional hands at the point of attack. The stellar first team all-district tackle also displays a strong pass pro set with fluid movement and the bend to recover and clear the pocket. Additionally, Brown plays with a high motor and always finishes run plays into the second level. One of the top '27 prospects in the state, his name should continue to grow this season as he builds upon an offer list that already includes schools such as Georgia, Alabama, and Ohio State.      Another bruising right tackle, Colley possesses a strong frame and thrives at holding the edge in pass protection. The rising junior maintains a great anchor and pad-level while fully extended into the chest plate of edge rushers. He also displays physicality and power at the point of attack. Colley demonstrates solid footwork and change of direction, which should both continue to develop moving forward. Miylen is also promising in the run game, with a great get-off and tight hands. Protecting one of the best quarterbacks in the nation, Colley has the natural spotlight to establish himself as a top OL prospect. He currently holds offers from Arizona State, UTSA, Texas State, and Lamar.      An absolute monster on the right side of the line, Kone has the frame of a power 4 right tackle already. Though he still has some rawness to his game, there is no denying Abdus' dynamic combination of pure strength and athleticism. He demonstrates the ability to pull in gap scheme runs with power and precision, putting linebackers into the ground. He also displays early signs of solid footwork, doing a good job of shuffling his feet while remaining engaged as a wall of the pocket. Expect the Mustangs' anchor on the right side to take a massive leap in his junior campaign. Kone already holds offers from Kansas, Colorado, Sacramento State, and Lamar.      Keyon is an electric and explosive dog at the left tackle position. In a run-heavy offense, he excels in his often-assigned pulls, moving agile for his size and thriving at exploding out of his hips and striking defenders. He also possesses a high motor and is intentional with his footwork and hands. While there is little pass pro work on film, Hemphill-Woods definitely has the traits necessary to hold an anchor on the blindside of the pocket. He should be in store for a strong junior year with the Cardinals offense. Keyon has already received several college offers from school such as, Illinois, Arizona State, and Houston.      Tupuola is a versatile lineman with a big frame who shifts all around the line of scrimmage. While if projected now Kingston would likely slide in as a guard at the next level, he demonstrates plenty of polish and strength at the tackle position as well. He is violent with his hands and possesses a solid pass pro set, with good pad-level and a quick first step. He plays with great instincts and will only become stronger and more agile as he progresses through his junior season. After that, expect Tupuola's rapid college recruitment to continue, as he already holds offers from over 10 schools, including Utah, Kansas, and Cal.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/KingTupes/status/1883997398630096902 </div></figure>
