Pancake Blocks, and Big Boys: 2026 Offensive Lineman I Want

Last time we talked about the Offensive Prospects I would Offer in the 2026 Class if I ran a fake College. We did not talk about the most important prospects though. The Offensive Lineman protect the Quarterback and allow the offense to flourish. So without further ado, Here are the Big Boys I want blocking on my squad.   Before we begin, some kids have offers, and some don't. This does not mean anything to me, and chose purely based on what I see from these prospects through tape or in-person evaluating.

For those who keep up with the rankings, you'll notice Ryan is missing. He will be one of the biggest risers in the 2026 class, and is easily one of my top performers on the line this season. Fitzpatrick stands at 6'5" 270-Pounds, displaying a good size for a tackle. He recently picked up an offer from D3 Cornell. On tape, he displays excellent leverage, and body control. He has good hands, and showcases outstanding strength which is used to create gaps in the Run Game. In Pass Pro, he is an anchor on the left side, giving his QB time to throw. Fitzpatrick's size and strength in the Blocking, make him perfect for my roster.    <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   [player_tooltip player_id='735899' first='Khalil' last='Cox']-CBA-Syracuse   Cox is easily making this list. He is a massive prospect, standing at 6'9″ 360-pounds, he stands out in on the field. The CBA-Syracuse prospect holds one offer from Syracuse with other schools interested in the talented lineman. He reminds me of “The Blindside” movie as he is extremely physical and holds a lot of power in his blocking. Listing as a tackle, he moved inside to the Guard position during the season. He has an elite IQ and creates gaps in the run game while holding strong in the passing game. His athleticism is viewable on tape and is used on every snap. For a guy who is 360 pounds and 6'9″, he moves perfectly. Getting him on the field for every play is needed.    <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   [player_tooltip player_id='1294922' first='Lawrence' last='Iyalekhue']-Yonkers Force   Lawrence is a guy I will have as a Tackle, but he can also kick into Guard, if needed. For Yonkers Force this season, he has taken the majority of his reps at the Tackle position, and can lockdown the other side as Ryan Fitzpatrick, creating a major advantage for my offense. Lawrence has a guard size standing at 6'9" 330-Pounds, which is where my curiosity comes from with a potential move to guard. On tape, he takes reps at Tackle, where he is seen driving defenders to the nearest sideline. He is a man among boys on the football field, and has excellent hands, and good leverage, which is seen with his strength as he drives people back creating gaps for his RB. His Pass Blocking is exceptional, as he keeps the pocket clean with excellent hands. He has an offer from Boston College, but I would be recruiting him hard for my squad.    <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   [player_tooltip player_id='1215186' first='Kevin' last='George']-Whitesboro   [player_tooltip player_id='1215186' first='Kevin' last='George'] is an easy choice for my second Guard Position. George stands at 6'3" 290-Pounds, and has played a vital role in the success of Whitesboro. With [player_tooltip player_id='735899' first='Khalil' last='Cox'], at the other Guard Position, George will have an easy time fitting into this line. On tape, he is a high IQ player. In the run game, he can be used as a pull/lead Guard, where he Pancakes defenders, and creates gaps for his squad. He reaches the Second Level with success, and targets Linebackers, and Safety's with blocks to attempt to stop the defense. He displays excellent footwork, and has solid speed for a Lineman. I like his hands, and he has amazing strength which is shown as he rolls through defenders.    <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   [player_tooltip player_id='402255' first='Carlos' last='Malespin']-Iona Prep   Malespin will play at Center for my squad. The starting Center for Iona Prep, has had himself a dominant Senior Season for the top team in the Country. Standing at 6'0" 285-Pounds, he is listed on more of the smaller side of the Lineman Spectrum. Malespin uses this as a major advantage. His strength is outstanding, and he drives defenders out of positions, opening the A-Gap for [player_tooltip player_id='1001144' first='Crew' last='Davis']. Having three other Iona Prep Players on my squad is another reason for his addition to this team, as he has a connection with [player_tooltip player_id='735876' first='Julian' last='Guzman'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1001144' first='Crew' last='Davis'], who will be leading my offense. Malespin searches for unblocked defenders, and Pancakes them with a high success rate. He is strong and extremely physical, which is exactly what I want snapping the ball and holding the middle of the line.
